The set features the basic knives necessary in any kitchen, as well as a few specialized knives. Included is the invaluable 4.5" S11 Utility Knife, with eleven small serrations near the base of the blade. These serrations allow it to cut through thick rinds while still making shortcuts, perfect for cutting citrus fruit. The 5" Hollow Edge Santoku, the 6" Utility Knife, and the 8" Cook's Knife carry the bulk of the work, bringing their unique approaches to chopping, slicing, and cutting. The 3.5" Paring Knife is useful for smaller, more nimble cuts that the larger knives cannot accomplish. The 8" Bread Knife cleanly slices even the crustiest loaves, while the 8" Hollow Edge Carving Knife cuts smoothly through large cuts of meat without sticking to thinner slices. The Come-Apart Kitchen Shears handle many day-to-day tasks as well as more specific needs such as breaking down a chicken. Keep the knives perfectly honed with the included 9" Honing Steel, and help retain their edge in the included 15-Slot Beechwood Block.

The Classic black handles are made of synthetic material triple riveted to the full tang for a seamless and hygienic fit. Not only comfortable to hold but the skillfully honed by hand blades are also incredibly sharp and are easily resharpened. Made in Solingen, Germany; Lifetime Guarantee.

Why Choose a Forged Steel Knife?

Wusthof forged knives start with quality steel that undergoes extreme heat and hand molding to enhance the flexibility, density, and hardness of the blade. Forged knives are handcrafted and offer greater strength and durability as well as better balance, a heavier feel, and lasting sharpness compared to stamped cutlery. The tang of a forged knife always extends into the handle to improve balance and ergonomics.
