The set features the basic knives necessary in any kitchen, as well as a few specialized knives. Included is the invaluable 4.5" Utility Knife, with eleven small serrations near the base of the blade. These serrations allow it to cut through thick rinds while still making shortcuts, perfect for cutting citrus fruit.

The 3.5" Paring Knife is useful for smaller, more nimble cuts that the larger knives cannot accomplish.

Why Choose a Forged Steel Knife?

Wusthof forged knives start with quality steel that undergoes extreme heat and hand molding to enhance the flexibility, density, and hardness of the blade. Forged knives are handcrafted and offer greater strength and durability as well as better balance, a heavier feel, and lasting sharpness compared to stamped cutlery. The tang of a forged knife always extends into the handle to improve balance and ergonomics.
