What is the difference between the gourmet series and the classic series of steak knives?

Well the best way for you to determine that is to go to Amazon and search for Wusthof Classic Series Steaknives... it will be very obvious the difference. But in a few short words, the classic has a polymer handle with 2-3 rivets driven through each blade shank and the black polymer handles. The gourmet is solid stainless one piece I do believe. Both excellent choices.

No difference from the specs but only in price and name. There maybe an additional discount for the survival knife. (Not an expert in knives...just like the BG line for quality and price.)

I'm not really sure, but Quisinart mentions certain cookware sets as "Green Gourmet." When I bought the one I have I don't remember that phrase being used. It might be best to contact Cuisinart or research your question online.

They come with other smaller knives, check description to see if steak knives are included. I've been using the large knives for 8 years and bought the 2nd set to have on hand 'just in case' since I rely on them so much.

Although I have both, I prefer the 102 is it is smaller, its blade is thinner and narrower which in my mind makes it a more useful and versatile knife. The 119 is a cool knife also but it is very large and stout. I do love the brown handle versus the black, it is worth the extra cost in my view.

The 12 Piece set of Ginsu Knives has a 3.5 Paring Knife, 5" Utility Knife, 5" Serrated Utility Knife, 7" Santoku Knife, 8" Chef Knife, Four Steak Knives, Kitchen Shears, Sharpening Rod and a Bamboo Block. The only difference between the 8 piece set and the 12 piece set is the four Steak Knives. Hope this information is helpful.

These are same knives as normal classic Ikon. It is just smaller set and block.

I am a collector and I own both of these knives. They both should be an important part of a serious collection and really cannot be compared, as they have different features and intended uses. If you can only get one of them and are trying to decide whether you like the ZT quality or the uniqueness of the JDII, consider the ZT 0700 as it has a very similar look and feel as compared to the JDII, with a very solid, high-quality fit and finish of the ZT. I love all three of these knives, but if I could only get one I would get the 0700.

Stainless is a little bit harder to return an edge too; carbon a little easier and requires a little more maintenance....in general terms. The knives come razor sharp. Little if any difference between the three you mentioned, but I would go with a heavier blade. If you are looking for wood working type knives, look at some of Mora's more traditiional knives intented for that purpose. The Companion et al, in my mind, are intended for backwoods.

There are no steak knives. I'm not sure why they list them in the description. The set includes service for twelve of the five utensils pictured, plus the 5 serving utensils listed.

The difference is the Mercer line of knives in the set. The set marked 'FORGED' is the Genesis line with softer handles and full bolsters, and the 'TEMPERED GLASS BLOCK SET' is the Renaissance line which has Delrin handles and short bolsters. I'm torn between the two as I would like to have the Genesis handles with short bolsters as I've read concerns they would be difficult to sharpen down the road, and issues with the knife not laying flush on the cutting surfaces from a 'hump' developing. They do offer the Genesis chef's knife with a short bolster, just not as part of a set as far as I know. I may be buying the knives separately, though I do like this block. I'll have to put the Renaissance's in my hand. The difference is the Mercer line of knives in the set.

No difference. This is my go to knife in my collection. Good heft and has good grip. My money is on this one. ..

Hello! First of all, this set is wonderful. The set we purchased comes with; a French Chef's knife, an Old-Fashioned Butcher's knife, a Slicer knife, a super Parer knife, a regular Paring knife, a Steak/Utility knife, a Vegetable Peeler and a Carving Fork. We also purchased the set of 6 Steak Knives and the cutlery Quick Edge Sharpener. Love them all. Needed to replace the Butcher's Knife with no questions asked and had no problems returning for a free replacement. We HIGHLY recommend this product because they are made in the U.S.A. with pride and they stand behind their products. Enjoy them like I do!!!!

I am not sure . But I was very disappointed in them . They do not seem to be sharp . Very hard to cut steak . I hand wash them . If I had a choice I would not buy them again .

A search of either leads you to the same knife. The knife is awesome. I own one and have give two as gifts.

the Gourmet version has a center section of the grilling grate that is removable, which allows for option grill inserts...like a wok, griddle, etc. Honestly, I considered that version due to the versatility, but that model does not have a solid front lower door...rather a clumsy, very less functional "plastic cover" that isn't hinged like a door, but simply hangs on the front. it has holes all over it which allows you to see the gas tank, etc...and it's unsightly. Plus, you can still guy griddles, woks, etc and just use them on the regular Spirit Grill instead and still have the nicer solid, useable lower door.
