Knife Block Sets

A Full Set of Smaller Blades Around the Chef’s Knife The Wüsthof Classic 9-Piece Set is for cooks who do most of their work with a chef’s knife but want a dedicated tool for everything the chef’s knife does poorly. It builds on the Classic 6-Piece Starter Set by adding a bread knife, two additional utility knives, and a larger 17-slot block.
Why It Works Three utility profiles: A straight utility knife, an Asian utility knife, and a serrated utility knife cover the mid-size work that is awkward with either a paring knife or a full chef’s knife. Dedicated bread knife: A long serrated blade saws through crusted loaves cleanly and leaves the soft interior intact. Forged from a single piece of steel: Blade, bolster, and tang are one continuous piece, for strength and a balanced feel. Full bolster: Adds weight at the balance point and guards the fingers during a pinch grip. PEtec edge: Wüsthof’s laser-guided Precision Edge Technology sets a uniform edge from heel to tip. Triple-riveted synthetic handle: The traditional Classic handle resists moisture, heat, and wear.
In the Kitchen Use the chef’s knife for volume prep, and turn to the utility knives for shallots, garlic, cheese, fruit, and portioning small cuts. The serrated utility knife handles tomatoes and sandwiches; the bread knife handles whole loaves and cakes. The paring knife covers peeling and trimming. The open slots in the block leave room for a carving knife, santoku, or boning knife. Learn More
