Wusthof Classic 15-Piece Knife Block Set

The Wüsthof Classic 15-Piece Acacia Block Set (1090171501) is the complete cutlery system for cooks who want full kitchen capability without the need to build a collection over time. Forged in Solingen, Germany, each knife is precision-forged from a single piece of X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, delivering the durability, edge stability, and balanced feel that define a traditional German workhorse.


This configuration extends beyond the core essentials by incorporating a full range of task-specific blades. In addition to the 8-inch chef’s knife, the set includes multiple utility profiles for mid-size prep, an 8-inch bread knife for crusted loaves, and a 2.5-inch peeling knife for curved produce and detailed work. Six matching 4.5-inch steak knives complete the system, allowing the same level of performance in the kitchen to carry through to the table.


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. A full bolster enhances control and safety during use, while triple-riveted POM handles are engineered to resist heat, moisture, and wear in a demanding kitchen environment.


Housed in a multi-slot Acacia wood block, this set provides organized storage for the full system while leaving room for future additions—making it a long-term foundation that does not require replacement or upgrading.
