Wusthof Classic Starter Set

This set includes an 8-inch Chef's Knife, which is your primary tool for chopping and slicing, and a 3.5-inch Paring Knife, designed for detailed tasks like peeling, trimming, and small-scale prep work.

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the blade edge and the handle material, we recommend hand-washing them with warm water and mild soap, then drying them immediately.

A full tang means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, stability, and durability, ensuring the knife feels sturdy and controlled in your hand while you cut.

These knives are forged, meaning they are crafted from a single piece of steel that is heated and hammered into shape. This process results in a denser, more durable blade that holds its edge longer and offers better balance compared to stamped knives.

Like all high-quality German steel knives, these will require regular maintenance to keep their edge. We recommend using a honing steel before each use to realign the blade and periodic professional sharpening or a whetstone to maintain the factory-sharp edge.
