Wüsthof Classic Ikon 8-Piece Knife Block Set

Vegetable and fruit prep get plenty of support from the Wüsthof Classic Ikon 8-piece knife block set. Its acacia block holds five Classic Ikon knives with room to spare, plus a honing steel.

The chef’s knife leads. It is backed by a 6-inch utility knife for slicing and portioning, and by a serrated utility knife for citrus and sandwiches. Two small knives cover close work. The pointed paring knife peels and cores in the hand. Its flat cut partner, squared at the tip, minces garlic on the board.

Eight slots stay free for future knives. Compared with the Classic Ikon 6-piece starter set, this set trades the bread knife for more small and mid-sized blades. The Classic Ikon 11-piece set adds a bread knife plus a santoku and a boning knife.

Pieces are sold individually too. Look for the Classic Ikon 3-inch flat cut paring knife or the Classic Ikon serrated utility knife. Every blade is covered in our guide to kitchen knife shapes.

    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.
