Know before you buy
The set includes a 3" flat cut paring knife, a 3.5" paring knife, a 5" serrated utility knife, a 6" utility knife, an 8" chef's knife, a 9" honing steel, and kitchen shears, all housed in a 15-slot Acacia wood block.
While Wusthof knives are technically dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand-washing them with warm water and mild soap. Dishwashers can dull the blades and potentially damage the handles over time.
The 15-slot block is designed to provide extra space, allowing you to expand your collection with additional specialty knives or steak knives in the future without needing to replace your storage.
You should use the honing steel before or after every major use to realign the edge of your blades. This keeps the knife sharp for longer, though it does not replace the need for professional sharpening once the edge eventually dulls.
The come-apart design allows the two blades to separate completely, which makes them much easier to clean and sanitize thoroughly compared to standard shears that remain fixed.
The manufacturer's lifetime limited warranty covers defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal use. It does not cover damage caused by misuse, such as cutting on glass surfaces, prying, or improper cleaning.
