After seven generations in the same family, they are now using the latest laser technology to sharpen their \u201cGourmet\u201d series of knives.<\/p>\n<p>I can honestly say I\u2019ve never held a sharper knife.\u00a0 The way it slid through everything on my cutting board was truly eye opening. I\u2019ve used other peoples\u2019 dull knives before, and therefore thought that our own cutlery was pretty darn sharp. But now, after being spoiled by the Wusthof, I\u2019ll probably never look at another knife the same again.<\/p>\n<p>The set comes with a carrying case and three knives:\u00a0 a 3\u201d paring knife, a 5\u201d serrated utility knife and a 6\u201d cook\u2019s knife.\u00a0 The handles are all very comfortable to use and three rivets make sure the blades won\u2019t come loose. A pair of heavy duty shears completes the cutting tools.<\/p>\n<p>And what meal isn\u2019t enhanced with a little wine? So, it includes a great quality wine bottle opener, with a feature so many openers omit\u2026the foil cutter, built into the handle.<\/p>\n<p>A keychain knife sharpener rounds out the set and is nicely built with a rubber base to prevent slipping while sharpening.<\/p>\n<p>This particular collection, which would make a perfect gift item, is six of the most needed tools and comes in a flexible, but sturdy zippered case. \u00a0Whether it\u2019s a picnic, a camping excursion, a barbeque in the backyard or a vacation condo on the other side of the world; it would be great to have a set of tools like this when it comes time for meals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_slider et_pb_slider_fullwidth_off et_pb_gallery_post_type\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_slides\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Wusthof-open.png);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Wusthof-laid-out.png);\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>WARNING:\u00a0 After you\u2019ve used it for the first time, chances are you\u2019ll want the knives to be available full time in your kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, check out the full specs on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.williams-sonoma.com\/products\/wusthof-gourmet-7-piece-traveler-knife-block-set\/?pkey=e|GOURMET%2B7-Piece%2BTraveler%2BSet|1|best|0|1|24||1&amp;cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-NoMerchRules\">Williams Sonoma site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class='et-box et-shadow'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='et-box-content'><\/div><\/div> <a href=\" http:\/\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/seniors\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6556\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Recommended-for-Seniors-600-web.jpg?resize=600%2C104\" alt=\"Recommended for Seniors\" width=\"600\" height=\"104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Recommended-for-Seniors-600-web.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Recommended-for-Seniors-600-web.jpg?resize=150%2C26&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Recommended-for-Seniors-600-web.jpg?resize=300%2C52&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>DougBardwell.com<\/strong> awards their <em><strong>Senior Citizen\u2019s Thumbs-Up<\/strong><\/em> rating for this item.
