Wusthof Classic 26 Piece Knife Block Set, Acacia

Wusthof Classic 26 Piece Block Set, Acacia is the top of the Classic line: twenty-five forged pieces standing in a figured acacia block, plus the shears and steel to keep them working. This is the set for a kitchen that cooks for a table, not a plate.

Three chef's knives, on purpose

Most sets give you one. This one gives you 6", 8" and 10" chef's knives so the blade can match the job — a short one for shallots and garlic, the 8" Original for daily work, and a 10" for melons, cabbage and volume prep. A 7" hollow-edge santoku adds a flatter, low-stick option.

The specialists are what make it a career set: a 5" boning knife and 7" fillet knife for meat and fish, a 6" cleaver for joints and hard rind, a 5" tomato knife, 6" and 4.5" utility knives, a 3.5" paring knife, a 2.75" peeling knife and a 6" straight meat fork. Eight forged 4.5" steak knives carry it to the table.

Every blade is forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel across more than 40 production steps, hardened to 58 Rockwell, then sharpened by Wusthof's computer-controlled PEtec process for a 20% sharper edge with twice the edge retention. The full bolster acts as a finger guard, and the triple-riveted handle bears the embedded Wusthof trident.

In the block: 10", 8" and 6" chef's knives, 7" hollow-edge santoku, 8" hollow-edge carving knife, 8" bread knife, 7" fillet knife, 6" cleaver, 6" utility knife, 5" boning knife, 5" tomato knife, 4.5" utility knife, 3.5" paring knife, 2.75" peeling knife, 6" straight meat fork, eight 4.5" steak knives, kitchen shears, 10" honing steel and a twenty-five-slot acacia block.

Care: hand wash and towel dry immediately. Covered by the Wusthof lifetime warranty.
