Wüsthof Classic 9-Piece Knife Block Set

A cook who wants the right blade for each job will find it in Wüsthof’s Classic 9-piece knife block set. Six Classic knives fill a 17-slot acacia block, joined by a honing steel plus shears.

Beyond the chef’s knife and the paring knife, the set adds a bread knife for crusty loaves and a serrated utility knife for juicy tomatoes. Two 4.5-inch knives cover small slicing jobs. One is a Western utility knife. The other is an Asian utility knife with a straighter edge and a thinner grind for precise vegetable cuts.

Eight slots stay open, enough for a set of steak knives or a santoku later. Compared with the Classic 6-piece starter set, this one adds the bread knife and both small utility knives. The Classic 15-piece set goes further with six steak knives, a santoku and a longer utility knife.

Several pieces are available individually. Try the Classic 8-inch bread knife, and you will also find the Classic 4.5-inch Asian utility knife on its own. Our guide to knife shapes explains what each blade is for.

    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.
