Wusthof Classic 8 Piece Knife Block Set, Rosemary

Wusthof Classic 8 Piece Knife Block Set, Fresh Rosemary is the complete Classic Color kitchen: seven forged blades in a matched eight-slot block, with no duplicate or filler pieces.

Why two chef's knives and a santoku

Most eight-piece sets give you one primary blade. This one gives you three, each with a different job. The 8" chef's knife is The Original, designed in 1886, for the bulk of board work. The 6" chef's knife is easier to steer on a small board or in smaller hands. The 7" hollow-edge santoku has a flatter profile for push cuts, with ground dimples that break the suction making potato, cucumber and cheese cling to the steel.

Around them: a 9" double-serrated bread knife whose large scallops and fine teeth break hard sourdough crust on the first stroke, a 6" utility knife for sandwiches, cheese and small roasts, a 5" serrated utility knife for tomatoes, rolls and citrus, and a 3.5" paring knife for hulling, deveining and peeling.

All seven are precision forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, hardened to 58 Rockwell, then sharpened by Wusthof's PEtec process for a 20% sharper edge with twice the edge retention. Triple-riveted full-tang handles in Fresh Rosemary, a deep green from the seven-shade Classic Color collection.

In the block: 8" chef's knife, 6" chef's knife, 7" hollow-edge santoku, 9" double-serrated bread knife, 6" utility knife, 5" serrated utility knife, 3.5" paring knife and an eight-slot knife block.

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