## Description

WÜSTHOF’S CLASSIC full-tang knives are precision-forged from a single piece of an exclusive high-carbon stainless steel. CLASSIC knives feature a new handle design made of a highly durable synthetic material – Polyoxymethylene (POM) – which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration.

Review: Best Knife Set I've Ever Owned – Truly a Cut Above the Rest - I've owned several knife block sets over the years — some decent, some disappointing — but this WÜSTHOF Classic 15-piece set blows them all out of the water. From the moment you hold one of these knives, you can feel the difference in quality. The weight, balance, and sharpness are all exactly what you'd expect from a premium brand. Every knife in the set feels purpose-built, not just thrown in to fill a block. The chef’s knife and paring knife have become my go-to tools for daily cooking, and the included honing steel is a great touch to help keep the edges razor sharp. Even the steak knives are a cut above what most sets offer. The block itself is sturdy and looks beautiful on the counter — a great mix of function and aesthetics. After trying other well-known brands, I can honestly say WÜSTHOF has set the bar. Worth every penny if you take your cooking seriously or just want something that performs and lasts.
Review: The knives cut like butter; these are the best I've ever had - It's taken me many years to finally break down and buy myself a quality knife set instead of purchasing oodles of individual knives. I'm finally glad I did. These are the best knives I have ever owned. The edges are sharp and cut like butter. In many cases I do not have to exert any effort to slice and chop food. There are 12 pieces in this set as follows: - one 3-1/2-inch paring knife - one 6-inch utility knife - one 8-inch carving knife - one 8-inch bread knife - one 8-inch cook's knife (a.k.a. chef's knife) - four 4-1/2-inch steak knives - one 9-inch honing steel - one pair of kitchen shears (they come in two pieces for cleaning; originally I thought they were broken) - one 13 slot storage block (this leaves two extra slots to store other knives of your choice) They are forged in Germany from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel. Hand washing is recommended and it comes with a limited lifetime warranty. I've been using these regularly with three wooden cutting boards I purchased specifically for these knives. I use to use a glass cutting board which damages knives so in order not to damage these knives, I made sure to purchase wooden boards. Although end grain cutting boards are better, I purchased edge grain instead. These knives are a dream to work with and I highly recommend them. At the beginning I was a bit annoyed that the storage block had two extra slots, but I learned to love that feature because I am able to store my Victorinox and other knife there and have gotten over the fact that they don't match. UPDATE August 27, 2019 - Today the scissors that came with this set broke. I used them once or twice per week. I am so disappointed. I did contact the company to see if they would replace them. Other than this, I use mostly the steak knives in this set. I have had to sharpen them as is typical and they are still going strong. I also use the other knives but only about once per month because I work with the steak knives mostly. I have also sharpened the other knives about two times since I have purchased this set. I am very satisfied with everything but the cutlery scissors. Also, note that I only used those scissors for cutting herbs and not chicken bone or anything hard, which makes this an even bigger disappointment. UPDATE August 29, 2019 - Today I received a replacement pair of scissors from Wusthof. I am incredibly impressed with the prompt service.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent set
*by P***R on December 30, 2025*

Received this set as a holiday gift, very happy with included knives. I am an experienced home cook and my old knives left a lot to be desired… finally, I got new ones. The knives arrived boxed and very well packed. Upon inspection, everything was without damage. The knives are very sharp, balanced, and a true pleasure to use. If you are not sure which one is best for a task at hand, watch Wusthof promos and other YouTube videos where professional chefs give great knife usage tips and food cutting demonstrations. They are very helpful. I am particularly happy a honing steel is part of this 9-piece set, ensuring your knives stay well-maintained and sharp. The acacia wood block is very stable due to its low profile. It is very polished and handsome. Make sure you shake out the freshness preservative packets stuffed inside (I used chopsticks to push them out of narrow spaces inside the block).
