One of the most trusted names in cutlery, Wüsthof offers the perfect knife for every cutting, chopping and slicing job. The expansive Gourmet collection combines all the knives you'll need plus honing steel and sheers stored neatly in a custom bamboo wood knife block, with extra spaces for steak knives. Strong, long-lasting blades are precision-tapered from bolster to tip to maintain their shape and hold their edge. Blades are laser-cut from a single piece of steel and easy to sharpen. Full tang adds weight and balance to blades longer than 5 inches. Knives feature high-impact, molded synthetic handles that are comfortable to hold, more durable and sanitary than wood. The 15-slot acacia knife block holds 2 ½" paring, 2 ¾" trimming, 2 ¼" peeling, 3" spear point paring, 4 ½" utility, 5" spreader, 5" hollow edge santoku, 8" bread, 8" chef's, and four 4 ½" steak knives, as well as 9" honing steel and come-apart kitchen shears.
