Wusthof Classic 6-Piece Starter Knife Block Set - Acacia

The Wüsthof Classic 6-Piece Starter Block Set (1090170606) is designed for cooks who prefer the weight, durability, and stability of a traditional Solingen workhorse. Rather than filling the block with redundant blades, this set focuses on three essential task-specific profiles: an 8-inch Chef’s Knife for high-volume prep, a 5-inch Serrated Utility Knife for fibrous skins and delicate crusts, and a 3.5-inch Paring Knife for off-board detail work. Each knife is precision-forged from a single piece of X50CrMoV15 stainless steel and features a full bolster that provides added safety and balanced control for a pinch grip.

The blades are finished using Wüsthof’s PEtec (Precision Edge Technology), applying an approximately 14-degree edge per side for a sharp, consistent cutting geometry that balances edge retention with durability. Triple-riveted POM handles are engineered to resist heat, moisture, and wear in a demanding kitchen environment.

This set includes an oversized 15-slot Acacia block, designed to house the included essentials while leaving ample room to expand your collection with additional knives as your needs evolve.
