Wüsthof Gourmet Knife Block

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the high-carbon stainless steel blades and the wooden handles, we recommend hand-washing them with warm water and mild soap, then drying them immediately.

Fully-forged knives are crafted from a single piece of steel, which provides superior weight, balance, and durability compared to stamped blades. This construction offers a more stable feel in the hand, making precision cutting tasks easier and more controlled.

The set includes a honing steel, which is designed to realign the blade's edge between uses. Regular honing keeps the knife performing at its best, though you will still need to have the blades professionally sharpened or use a sharpening stone periodically.

The set includes a paring knife, utility knife, chef's knife, bread knife, and carving knife. It also comes with a meat fork, honing steel, kitchen shears, and the wooden storage block.

Yes, the blades are made from high-carbon stainless steel, which is rust-resistant. However, because they are not stain-proof, it is important to wipe them dry immediately after washing to prevent water spots or surface oxidation.

These knives are not designed for use on non-stick surfaces. The sharp, high-carbon steel edges can easily scratch or damage non-stick coatings, so it is best to use them on wooden or plastic cutting boards.
