WÜSTHOF Gourmet Block Set

The Gourmet series features stamped blades, which are laser-cut from a single sheet of steel. This makes them lighter and more flexible than WÜSTHOF’s forged knives, offering a nimble feel that many home cooks find easier to handle for daily prep.

While the synthetic handles are durable, we strongly recommend hand washing your knives. Dishwashers can cause the blades to dull prematurely and may damage the handle material over time.

Yes, the included wood block features 13 slots, meaning you have one extra space available if you decide to add a specialty knife to your collection later.

To keep your blades performing at their best, use a honing steel regularly to realign the edge. When the knives eventually lose their factory sharpness, a whetstone or a high-quality pull-through sharpener will restore the edge.

The warranty covers defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal kitchen use. It does not cover damage caused by misuse, such as cutting on glass or stone surfaces, or improper maintenance like putting the knives in the dishwasher.
