Just received these knives and they seem to be a fine set of steak knives. However, I noticed that these gourmet series (with the exception of the 8" chef's knife), use different steel than their more expensive classic series. Specifically, the classic series uses "X50CrMn15" material, whereas these gourmet series uses "X46Cr13". The major difference being that X46Cr13 contains less carbon (0.5% vs. 0.46%) and that it does not contain Mn (molybdenum), which is needed for knives to be totally dishwasher safe. ...Product Description
For the true steak aficionado, this set of knives is the ultimate culinary gift. Part of Wusthof's Gourmet line of cutlery, these quality steakhouse knives are substantial in size - just right for carving steaks and chops, hot off the grill. The knives feature full tangs with non-forged blades of high-carbon, rust-free alloy. The lightweight knives have high-impact, plastic handles securely riveted in three places.
