Wusthof Classic Knife Block

The storage block is crafted from durable, elegant Acacia wood and features 17 slots to accommodate a wide variety of kitchen tools.

While the materials are durable, we strongly recommend hand-washing your Wusthof knives. Dishwashers can cause the blades to dull prematurely and may damage the handle material over time.

A full tang means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, strength, and stability, ensuring the knife feels secure and substantial in your hand while cutting.

Thanks to the high-carbon stainless steel and 14-degree edge angle, these knives hold an edge exceptionally well. With regular honing to realign the blade edge, you should only need to sharpen them professionally or with a stone once or twice a year, depending on your frequency of use.

A rating of 58 HRC strikes the ideal balance between hardness and flexibility. It is hard enough to maintain a razor-sharp edge for long periods, yet resilient enough that the blade won't chip easily during standard kitchen tasks.

Avoid using glass, ceramic, or granite cutting boards, as these hard surfaces will dull your blades almost immediately. We recommend using wood or high-quality plastic cutting boards to preserve the sharpness of your knives.
