I am considering buying some new kitchen knives, Warther knives caught my eye . My Aunt has a Warther paring knife and she says it performs well, but she knows very little about knives. I like to do thorough research on a product before I buy, but I could find little info on their knives. Any information about the performance of Warther knives is greatly appreciated. I am interested in a paring, 7" chef, 9" chef, and a boning knife. I am also wondering how the "spotted" pattern looks in real life, and if the pattern has any other purposes besides hiding scratches. Any comments about Warther knives are welcome, and feel free to recommend other knives ( preferably around the same price).Thanks. -Knife is Life

I have two, a 7" slicer and their new 6" outdoor fishing knife. I have used the slicer, and it works well. I haven't used it enough to know if the S35V hold an edge as well as I hoped it would. The fit and finish is better on the more expensive knife (the fishing knife) than the 7" slicer.
Shipping costs up the price, so keep that on mind when you order.
I found some gaps between the handle and blade on the 7" blade. I filled them with superglue, but a little epoxy is probably a better idea. Fit and finish is not up to the same level as some of the less expensive Japanese knives, like Tojiro, but some of the blades are unique. The fishing knife in S35V can't be found in an import and the steel is premium stuff---if the heat treatment is right. The blade appearance is OK, but hard to describe.
I really haven't used the knives enough to give a clear recommendation. They are worth a try, but I would suggest getting one or two first, and see how you like them. I prefer flatter blade profiles on chef's knives and can recommend the Tojiro DP line for a Gyoto. If you like the looks of the Warthers, try one or two out.
