Wüsthof CLASSIC IKON 6-Piece Starter Knife Block Set, Acacia

A Focused Set with Room to Grow

The three included knives cover the jobs most cooks handle every day. The chef's knife manages chopping, slicing, and mincing, the serrated bread knife cuts crusty loaves and soft baked goods, and the paring knife provides close control for peeling and detailed prep.

The 15-slot acacia block stores the complete set while leaving open positions for additional knives as your collection grows. Natural variations in the wood grain and color make each block slightly different.

Three Knives That Cover the Essentials

This starter set concentrates the investment in the blades used most often rather than filling the block with specialized knives. The open slots let you add a Santoku, utility knife, carving knife, or steak knives according to the way you cook.

The set contains a 3.5-inch CLASSIC IKON Paring Knife, 8-inch CLASSIC IKON Bread Knife, 8-inch CLASSIC IKON Chef's Knife, 9-inch brushed stainless steel honing steel, black come-apart kitchen shears, and a 15-slot acacia wood knife block.

Can I add more knives to the acacia block?

Yes. The 15-slot acacia block provides additional storage beyond the six included pieces. This allows you to expand the collection with compatible knives as your needs change. The natural wood grain and color may vary between blocks.

The three forged CLASSIC IKON knives are manufactured in Germany. The acacia wood knife block is made in China. The six-piece count includes the three knives, honing steel, kitchen shears, and block.
