Wusthof Classic Knife Block

The set includes a 3 ½” paring knife, an 8” chef's knife, a 9” double serrated bread knife, and a 10” honing steel, all housed in a 17-slot beechwood in-drawer storage tray.

The tray measures 17" L x 4.25" W x 1.75" H. It is designed to fit most standard kitchen drawers, but you should measure your drawer interior to ensure you have at least 17 inches of depth and 4.25 inches of width available.

Wusthof’s Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) uses lasers to measure each blade before grinding, ensuring a precise 14-degree angle. This results in a blade that is 20% sharper out of the box and maintains its edge significantly longer than standard factory-sharpened knives.

While the POM handles are durable, it is highly recommended to hand wash and dry your Wusthof knives immediately after use. Dishwashers can cause microscopic damage to the sharp edge and may lead to handle discoloration over time.

This set includes a 10-inch honing steel, which should be used regularly to realign the edge of your blades. For long-term maintenance, you can use a whetstone or a professional sharpening service to restore the edge once it eventually dulls.

Fully forged means each knife is crafted from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel that is heated and hammered into shape. This construction provides superior strength, better balance, and a seamless transition from the handle to the blade compared to stamped knives.
