Wusthof Classic 6 Piece Knife Block Set, Beechwood

Wusthof Classic 6 Piece Block Set, Beechwood is the starter block that never needs replacing. It is built around The Original — the 8" chef's knife Wusthof has been forging in Solingen since 1886 — and adds the three blades a working kitchen reaches for next, plus the steel to keep them keen and a warm beechwood block to hold them.

Why the Classic series

Each knife 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 pulls the balance point back toward your hand, so the knife feels planted rather than blade-heavy. The triple-riveted black handle carries the embedded Wusthof trident, the mark that tells you it is the real thing.

In the block: 8" chef's knife, 8" carving knife, 8" bread knife, 3.5" paring knife, 9" honing steel and a nine-slot beechwood knife block with open slots for future additions.

Care: hand wash and towel dry immediately, hone regularly and store in the block. Covered by the Wusthof lifetime warranty.
