Wüsthof CLASSIC 6-Piece Starter Knife Block Set, Acacia
The Essential Knives, Plus Room to Grow
The 8-inch chef's knife handles the majority of board work, from chopping vegetables and herbs to portioning boneless meat. The 3.5-inch paring knife provides close control for peeling, trimming, and small cuts, while the 5-inch serrated utility knife moves cleanly through foods with firm exteriors and softer centers.
The 9-inch honing steel supports regular edge maintenance, and the come-apart kitchen shears handle herbs, packaging, kitchen string, and other jobs that do not suit a knife. The 15-slot acacia block keeps the included tools organized while leaving open storage for future additions.
Wüsthof CLASSIC 6-Piece Starter Knife Block Set, Acacia
A Practical Starting Point for CLASSIC
This set concentrates on tools that earn regular use instead of filling the block with specialized shapes. The open slots make it easy to add a bread knife, carving knife, Santoku, or steak knives as your needs become clear.
