I'm so frustrated. I have spent a fortune on - what I am told - are good quality knives, but none of them are as sharp as I see the chef's knives are. I have a full set of Wusthof Gourmet knives and a steel sharpener which I use every time before I need it, but they too are no where near sharp enough. Now I see you are advertising the Global Sai knives. I am tempted again, but would like your input please. - Lee Hobday

Hi Lee,

Thanks for getting in touch with us!

We are sorry to hear that you are frustrated with your knives. The Gourmet range is of very good quality and should have a very sharp blade once sharpened. We are however going to get an expert opinion and get back to you with the best advice.

We'll be in touch as soon as possible!

Thank you Michael and Jon for your quick reply AND advice. I love Yuppie Chef and support you guys so I am not surprised at the speed and fabulous advice. I am just kicking myself that I did not ask you sooner. I bought the whetstone from you but had no idea about the technique needed - now I do. I am going to put it to the test and let you guys know how it goes.

Hi again Michael and Jon. I followed the instructions with the video and I was NOT using the whetstone correctly. Thank you so much. All frustrations gone and my Gourmet knives are perfect. Next time I have a problem in the kitchen I will contact Yuppie Chef before the frustrations set in. 😃

Hi Lee, glad to hear you came right in the end - that's excellent news. I don't see a wet stone purchased on this particular account, but it'd be just great if you could take some time out to write a review on it :)

I'm using a Ginsu dishwasher safe knife set after reading this review- https://ireviewtools.com/best-dishwasher-safe-knife-set-reviews/

The set is going awesome as the handles are comfortable to hold and the knives are sharp.

Hello. This is not a brand we stock, so we're unable to comment on how good they are. As you can see from Irryly's response, they weren't using the whetstone correctly at first, but now their Wüsthof Gourmet knives are super sharp and working well.
