WÜSTHOF Classic Knife Block

Full tang means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This design provides superior balance, strength, and stability, ensuring the knife won't snap at the handle under pressure.

While the polypropylene handles are durable and heat-resistant, we strongly recommend hand-washing your WÜSTHOF knives. Dishwashers can cause microscopic damage to the sharp edges and may lead to handle discoloration over time.

Thanks to the 58-degree HRC tempering and Precision Edge Technology (PEtec), these blades hold their edge exceptionally well. Regular use of the included honing steel will keep the edge aligned, meaning you should only need professional sharpening or a whetstone touch-up occasionally.

The acacia wood block provides a safe, organized storage solution that protects the blades from dulling against other utensils. It features 17 slots, giving you plenty of room to store the included 9 pieces while leaving extra space to grow your collection.

Forged knives are crafted from a single piece of high-carbon steel that is heated and hammered into shape. This process creates a denser, more durable blade that offers better weight, balance, and edge retention compared to stamped alternatives.

The Classic series features an ergonomic, triple-riveted design that is balanced to fit a wide variety of hand sizes comfortably. The handle shape is designed for a secure, non-slip grip, providing control regardless of your hand size.
