The Classic cutlery line bears all the traits that Wüsthof knives are known for: impeccable construction, incredible sharpness, and long-lasting durability. Each Classic knife is precision-forged--blade, bolster, and tang--from a single piece of high-carbon, stain-resistant steel. The blade is tested by lasers and honed by hand, with computer-controlled front-to-back tapering, grinding, and polishing. A visible full tang--the blade’s shaft runs the entire length of the handle--ensures excellent balance and strength. Classic handles are molded from a durable black synthetic called Hostaform-C with traditional triple riveting. The knives promise a lifetime of hard-working companionship in the kitchen.

This Wüsthof Classic block set is a great way to jumpstart your cutlery collection or begin overhauling your old set of knives. Designed to meet the most popular cutting demands, the set includes an 8-inch cook’s knife for chopping, a 5-inch serrated utility knife for slicing tomatoes and salami, and a 3-1/2-inch paring knife for coring, trimming, and peeling. Wusthof also includes a 9-inch sharpening steel and an attractive oak block with a total of nine slots so you can add specialty knives or your old favorites. The block has rubber feet to protect your countertop and includes a spot for shears. Classic knives, though safe in the dishwasher, should be washed by hand for best results. --Emily Bedard 5piece starter block.
