Knives

The Wüsthof Classic 9-Piece Block Set (1090170911) is designed for cooks ready to expand beyond a basic three-knife setup into a more versatile, task-specific system. Forged in Solingen, Germany, each knife is precision-forged from a single piece of X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, delivering the durability and balanced feel expected from a traditional German workhorse. This configuration builds on the essentials by adding multiple utility knives for mid-size prep and a dedicated 8-inch bread knife for crusted loaves and delicate interiors. Together, these profiles improve efficiency across a wider range of kitchen tasks without introducing unnecessary redundancy. Each blade is finished using Wüsthof’s Precision Edge Technology (PEtec), applying an approximately 14° edge per side for a sharp, consistent cutting geometry that balances edge retention with durability. The full bolster enhances control and safety during a pinch grip, while triple-riveted POM handles are engineered to resist moisture, heat, and wear in a demanding kitchen environment. The included block provides organized storage for the full set while allowing room to expand your collection over time. Learn More
