The set includes an 8-inch chef's knife, an 8-inch bread knife, a 2.75-inch paring knife, a 5-inch spreader, kitchen shears, and the compact 6-slot storage block.
Yes, these knives are dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the sharpness and integrity of the fine-edge blades over time, hand washing is generally recommended for all quality cutlery.
The Gourmet series features laser-cut, stamped blades rather than forged steel. This makes them lighter in the hand and more affordable while still delivering the high-carbon stainless steel performance and German quality Wusthof is known for.
Absolutely. The studio block is specifically designed with a slim, compact footprint, making it an excellent choice for apartments or kitchens with limited counter space.
Wusthof provides a manufacturer's lifetime warranty on this set, covering defects in material and workmanship when used under normal household conditions.
