Wüsthof Classic Ikon 11-Piece Knife Block Set

From bread to boning, the Classic Ikon 11-piece knife block set from Wüsthof covers the full range of kitchen work, and it is the largest Classic Ikon block set we carry. Eight knives fill the acacia block, joined by a steel plus kitchen shears.

Pairing a chef’s knife with a 5-inch santoku gives you a choice of cutting styles for vegetables and proteins. The bread knife handles loaves and cakes. A 5-inch boning knife trims chicken and separates meat from the bone. Four smaller knives fill in the gaps. Two are paring knives, one pointed and one flat cut. The others are a 4.5-inch utility knife and a serrated utility knife for bagels.

Asked whether a big set is worth it, we suggest looking at what you cook. If you break down whole chickens and bake bread at home, each of these knives earns its slot. For a smaller start, the Classic Ikon 8-piece set keeps the paring and utility knives. The Classic Ikon boning knife and the Classic Ikon 4.5-inch utility knife are sold on their own. Our knife shapes overview explains each blade.

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.
