Wusthof knives .. Comments? Especially in the Gourmet line ..?

I have to buy some new knives and I want some of the very decent, but not spend too much money. I've been looking at knives and Wusthof gourmet line has aroused my interest. I'm assuming this is your line of economy (right?) And I was wondering if anyone has had problems with them. Are they worth the money?

My son has a set of Gourmet Line bought as Wusthof Knives attending Culinary School and have lasted much good and seem to maintain a good advantage. While most have a price range in the economy remain good value in my opinion.

Kitchen knives are never "need sharpening" harder on cutting boards that the soft edges that do?

"Never sharpen 'sounds very nice, but when you look at the sheet, there are thousands of tiny barbs that look like they just would draw a cutting board into strips. Then you look at the knife Typical that the needs of the occasional sharpening. The edge is smooth. I just got a new cutting board that love and wondered what kind of knife would be better to use it. Thank you!

Yes, it's harder in his court by the Board added that "cutting" effect.
