Tough polypropylene handles with full, visible tangs and the traditional three rivets distinguish Classic knives from Wüsthof's other cutlery lines. Otherwise Classic knives are identical to other Wüsthof knives, embodying all the virtues that have earned the German manufacturer world renown. The principal parts of a Wüsthof knife--blade, bolster, and tang--are forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, and the blade is precisely tapered from bolster to tip and from back to hand-honed edge. The blades and beautifully formed bolsters are not as thick as on some knives. As a result, despite their heft, strength, and durability, Wüsthof knives are pleasingly delicate and marvelously balanced in action.

This set equips a serious cook with nearly every cutting edge imaginable--there are 14 kitchen knives and eight 4-1/2-inch steak knives--plus a 10-inch sharpening steel to keep their edges aligned, tough kitchen shears, a 6-inch serving fork, and a 25-slot oak block to store everything on the counter within reach. The kitchen knives include a 2-3/4-inch peeling knife, a 3-1/2-inch paring knife, a 4-1/2-inch utility knife, a 5-inch tomato knife, a 5-inch boning knife, a 9-inch bread knife, a 6-inch sandwich knife, a 7-inch flexible fillet knife, a 5-inch cook's knife, a 6-inch cook's knife, an 8-inch cook's knife, a 10-inch cook's knife, an 8-inch carving knife, and a 6-inch cleaver. These knives should be hand washed. --Fred Brack
