Wusthof Classic 6-Piece Block Set with Bonus Shear

Product Review

Known worldwide for their superior performance, Wüsthof knives are the cutlery of choice among many professionals and by discriminating amateur chefs. The Classic series features a traditional styling that makes it the most popular of the Wüsthof lines. The blades are formed with the perfect balance of high-carbon steel and a stain-resistant alloy so they retain their edge longer and are easier to resharpen. The blade is ground and polished by computer, ensuring perfect tapering from bolster to tip, and the edge is then hand-honed for precision slicing. The sturdy feel of this knife is achieved by the weighted bolster, which is considered to be Wüsthof’s signature feature. The tang runs through the synthetic handle and is secured with three rivets.

This 6-piece set has just the basics for those beginning their cutlery collection. The knives in the set include a 6-inch cook’s knife, a 5-inch serrated sausage knife, a 4-1/2-inch utility knife, and a 3-1/2-inch paring knife. A 9-inch sharpening steel and a bonus pair of kitchen shears ($20 value) complete the set. Everything fits neatly into the rubber-footed oak block, which has space to eventually add three more knives. --Cristina Vaamonde
