Same. Someone posted this the other day. Made me miss him even more.

Given the choice of those two specific ones I'd rather have the henckels because I hate the bolster on the Wusthof.

That said, I wouldn't buy either. A good starter knife is a foodservice brand like Bakers and Chefs, Mercer, Dexter-Russel, Forschner, Victorinox, etc.

Depends on what you want it for. A set of knives to show off to guests you have over? That set is perfect.

For actual use? It's a silly, overpriced, mess.

Wal-mart tier knives at higher than wal-mart price.
Bunch of useless sizes/types you don't need
Where are your sharpening supplies?

>What is their incentive to ruin knives?

People buy new ones.

Or more accurately, the market Wusthof serves is based on image, not practicality. No serious cook uses them. Wusthof is like buying a designer baseball cap. It's point isn't practical, it's point is image. A nice wood block filled with full-tang knives with exposed rivets is a classic wedding gift, and any housewife who is entertaining wants one in her kitchen to show off.
