Wusthof Classic Knife Block

No, these knives should be hand washed only. Dishwashers can dull the blades, damage the handles, and cause corrosion, so we recommend washing them with warm water and mild soap immediately after use.

Full-tang means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This design provides superior balance, strength, and durability, ensuring the knife feels stable and secure in your hand during heavy-duty cutting tasks.

Thanks to Wüsthof's PEtec technology, these blades hold their edge exceptionally well. While the frequency depends on how often you cook, regular use of a honing steel will keep the edge aligned, meaning you will only need professional or manual sharpening occasionally.

Acacia is a dense, durable hardwood that naturally resists moisture, making it an excellent choice for a kitchen environment. To keep the block in top condition, simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth and avoid submerging it in water.

The hollow edge features small indentations along the blade that create tiny air pockets between the knife and the food. This prevents ingredients like potatoes or cucumbers from sticking to the blade, allowing for faster, more efficient slicing.

Yes, Wüsthof provides a limited lifetime warranty on these knives. This covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal household use, giving you peace of mind regarding your investment.
