Wusthof Classic 9-Piece Knife Block Set, Acacia

A small, versatile knife with slim blade and plain edge: the 3 1/2" paring knife is the second most important knife to have in the kitchen. The small narrow blade tapers to a point at the tip and is easy to handle making it the perfect knife to trim and slice and peel small produce such as garlic cloves and herbs.

The 4 1/2" utility knife is smaller than a chef's knife but larger than a paring knife, making it the perfect knife for a magnitude of tasks. A utility knife is much like a versatile paring knife and is perfect for mincing shallots, onions, and herbs as well as cutting vegetables or small meats.

The 4 1/2" Asian Utility Knife features a uniquely curved straight edge blade, which allows it to be used as both a mini chef's knife and as a paring knife. The knife is perfectly designed for both low rock cuts that require moderate heft and precise balance, and closer hand work that demands a razor-sharp edge and exceptional agility. The ideal size and shape for countless food prep tasks, the Asian Utility Knife performs effortlessly when cutting, slicing, or dicing a variety of ingredients, including small- and medium-sized fruits, vegetables, and cheeses. It can also be used to trim meats and poultry.

The perfect companion for preparing your packed lunch or at brunch: thanks to its fine serrated edge, the 5" utility knife not only cuts cleanly through rolls without tearing, but it is also suitable for vegetables (such as firm tomatoes), fruit, or dry sausage. This makes it an integral part of sandwich preparation and of the brunch table setting, ideally found alongside our Cheese Knife.

A classic amongst the range of knives that belong in every kitchen: as well as bread, the 8" bread knife is suitable for use on hard-skinned vegetables and fruit, as well as for roasts, especially those with crackling. The concave (inwardly curved), serrated edge of the knife works like the teeth of a saw, but is much finer, so no pressure is required to cut any sort of bread and even a hard crust will allow a clean cut.

The Original chef's knife is iconic, withstanding the test of time, and maturing with quality and style. Unmatched in design and quality, the WÜSTHOF Classic 8" Chef's Knife is the all-rounder - perfect for mincing, chopping, or cutting meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables. This chef's knife is an active participant in many kitchen tasks, makes food prepping pleasurable, and should be a part of every professional chef and home cook’s basic equipment.
