Are they rated higher than the Hinckel set for $89?

I do not know anything about the Hinckel set. I just know that we have this set and we love it, it cuts steak, chicken and several other things with no problem

Yes, I rate them higher than the others. They are maid with excellent quality.

I believe so but even if not this is a great well made set. You cant go wrong for the price.

These would be an excellent choice. I was prepared to spend 3 times as much for a higher quality. I am glad I didn't. P.S. I use them to look at planes too.

I just looked it up and I paid 43.00 for each one. So your price is better, but they are priced individually. Hope I helped.

I cannot say how it compares exactly since I don't own the SM brand and have not used it. I have seen it at the state fair -- that's how I got interested in this item to begin with. I can tell you I have had my set for more than 12 years, my daughters have it, and I continue to have customers buy it and be thrilled with the quality for the money.

Charles, I see $41.95 as the current price, which is still a good deal. I caught them for $26 several months ago, that is one reason that I purchased two. I would have paid 42 if necessary, just saying. I am not a pro wood worker, just do it for the enjoyment, not rich either, try to get the best use of cost for this hobby. Oh, I got the Rockwell jaw horse from A. A very good investment. I am using it with auxiliary runners to hold chair leg blanks to route mortise joints. The runners are to give the router base a sturdy place to ride. I have a few more tips if you are interested. Rocketbob

You may also want to check on www.Berger-bros.com. I spoke to their Rep. and 880IS is expected to be available by end of this week. They are quoting 880IS for $299.

I think they are, especially for the price. AV house has the SL99 for 29.99 here on amazon, and I liked those better, already ordered 2. the ear tips are troublesome, but its as simple as putting some from a pair of older earphones and problem solved.

Well enough. I wouldn't put them in the same class as the rest of what Wusthof has to offer. These are strictly retail level flatware. The quality is what you would expect from any set you can purchase in a department store. If you want top-notch quality, you have to purchase steak knives from one of their collections (Ikon, Classic, Grand Prix, etc).

In general, the higher priced units are in better cosmetic condition all other things being equal. They at minimum will have light scuffs on the covers that do not impair functionality.

The price listed is for the set. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thank you!

If you are able to get for $12.99, DO IT (and please email me at lmbates219@aol.com to tell me what site!!!!!). I was one of the lucky ones that got it for $12.99, and it is an AWESOME set! I went back to buy more for family members, and the price had gone up to $99 (which is actually reasonable for this set, but I'm way too cheap to pay that kind of money for knives!) Anyways, definitely worth it!!!

I was severely tempted by the price on this set. I went to both BB and CC today and looked at them. This set has about a 30 degree off center angle that is acceptable. The newer (1080p) sets extend this to about 45 degrees off axis for an acceptable viewing angle. This gives you a total of 90 degrees. Forget the 160 nonsence!

The price has gone up a little since I purchased them. They now list at $80 which is for the set of 2.

Wow, that's not much of a difference for the difference I've been seeing in price for these two sets. Thanks a lot, and good luck with your purchase!

Not sure but I can tell you this, they are way over priced. You can do a lot better at Sam's Club.

Yes, but this is ver cheap set. I returned mine and sucked up the shipping cost.
