Wüsthof Classic Prep Set

The 3 1/2" paring knife is ideal for intricate work like peeling, trimming, and deveining, while the 6" cook's knife serves as a versatile all-purpose tool for chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables and proteins.

While the materials are durable, we strongly recommend hand-washing your Wüsthof knives. Dishwashers can dull the blades and potentially damage the handle rivets over time.

A full tang means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle. This construction provides superior balance, stability, and strength, ensuring the handle won't snap off during heavy-duty prep work.

Thanks to the high-carbon stainless steel and Precision Edge Technology, these knives hold an edge exceptionally well. With regular use of a honing steel to realign the edge, you will only need to perform a full sharpening once or twice a year.

The 58-degree Rockwell Hardness rating strikes an ideal balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening. It is hard enough to stay sharp through extensive use, but not so brittle that the blade is prone to chipping.
