Wüsthof Classic 15-Piece Knife Block Set

Kitchen prep and dinner service are both covered by the Wüsthof Classic 15-piece knife block set. It holds six Classic kitchen knives and six Classic steak knives, plus shears and a steel, in a 17-slot acacia block.

The kitchen knives cover each size class. For chopping there is a chef’s knife along with a 5-inch santoku. A bread knife takes care of loaves. Two utility knives at 6 and 4.5 inches handle slicing and trimming, and a paring knife does the small work. Owning both shapes lets you choose between a rocking cut and a straight up-and-down chop.

Customers who want steak knives in the same block ask whether everything fits. It does, with two slots open for later additions. For a set without steak knives, see the Classic 9-piece block set. To add more steak knives later, the Classic 6-piece steak knife set matches these. A bigger collection can move into the 25-slot acacia block. Our kitchen knife shapes guide compares the santoku with the chef’s knife.

    Care

    Wash by hand in warm, soapy water right after use and dry it immediately. Do not put the knife in the dishwasher or leave it soaking. Hone it regularly on a steel and sharpen it when honing no longer restores the edge. Cut on wood or plastic boards, never on glass, stone or metal. Wipe the block with a damp cloth, and make sure each knife is dry before it goes back in the slot.
