Wüsthof PARTNER 8-Piece Knife Block Set

Forged Knives for Everyday Cooking

The set includes an 8-inch chef's knife for chopping and slicing, an 8-inch bread knife for crusted loaves, a 6-inch utility knife for controlled prep, a 5-inch serrated utility knife for firm skins and soft interiors, and a 3.5-inch paring knife for small, detailed work.

PARTNER knives are fully forged from single pieces of WÜSTHOF steel. Each knife uses a half bolster that allows access to the full cutting edge and a full tang that adds stability through the handle.

A Complete Starting Point in Forged Cutlery

This set gives a cook the knife profiles that matter most, plus the tools needed to store and maintain them. The open heel created by the half bolster also makes the straight-edged knives easier to sharpen from end to end as they see regular use.

Steel extending through the handle adds stability and a secure feel during cutting.

Ergonomic synthetic handles

From Our Founder

"This set covers the work most kitchens actually do. The half-bolster design also makes sense for long ownership because you can maintain the full edge instead of working around a heavy heel."

Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

What is included in the WÜSTHOF PARTNER 8-Piece Knife Block Set?

The set contains five PARTNER knives: a 3.5-inch paring knife, 5-inch serrated utility knife, 6-inch utility knife, 8-inch chef's knife, and 8-inch bread knife. It also includes a 9-inch honing steel, kitchen shears, and a dark walnut knife block.

Is the PARTNER 8-Piece Knife Block Set suitable for a first kitchen?

Yes. The chef's knife handles everyday chopping, while the paring and utility knives provide control for smaller ingredients. The serrated utility and bread knives cut crusts and firm skins, and the honing steel, shears, and block support regular use and storage.

How does PARTNER compare with a GOURMET knife block set?

The PARTNER knives use fully forged construction, full tangs, ergonomic handles, and half bolsters. GOURMET knives are precision-cut rather than forged, making them lighter. The PARTNER set also includes five complementary knife shapes for everyday preparation.

Does the WÜSTHOF lifetime warranty cover every item in this set?

No. WÜSTHOF's limited lifetime warranty covers qualifying manufacturing defects in the knives under normal household use. The honing steel and wooden knife block are not covered. Normal wear, misuse, and damage from improper handling are also excluded.
