Know before you buy
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the high-carbon stainless steel blades and the handle materials, we recommend hand-washing them with mild soap and drying them immediately after use.
The full tang design means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, strength, and stability, ensuring the knife feels like a natural extension of your hand while you work.
Yes. The beechwood block features 17 slots, but this set only includes 10 pieces. This gives you seven extra slots to customize your collection with additional specialty knives as your culinary needs grow.
The laser-guided PEtec edge ensures a precise, consistent angle across the entire length of the blade for exceptional initial sharpness. While this technology helps the edge last longer, you can maintain it easily using the included sharpening steel.
Wusthof provides a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. This covers issues related to manufacturing, though it does not cover damage caused by normal wear and tear, misuse, or improper maintenance.
Yes, the ergonomic handles are designed for a secure, comfortable grip. The seamless, molded construction provides a non-slip surface that remains hygienic and easy to clean during food preparation.
