Wusthof Cutlery Wusthof Gourmet 16-Piece Knife Block Set | Acacia

Upgrade your current knife collection or give the Wusthof Gourmet 16-Piece Knife Block Set as a housewarming present, a Christmas gift, or a wedding present for a newlywed couple. The 16-Piece Knife Block Set comes complete with all of the essential knives along with a 15-slot knife block to safely store your knives, protecting the blades from damage & your fingers from rummaging around in a drawer searching for a knife. The 15-Slot Knife Block also has slots for you to store your honing/sharpening steel & kitchen shears. The Wusthof Knife Block is constructed of eco-friendly bacteria-resistant wood in a natural finish. The exterior wipes clean with a damp cloth. The non-skid feet affixed to the block’s bottom provides a more secure & stable hold on your countertop. The angled block will keep knives in place while still giving easy access to the handles to easily grab the knife of your choice. The knives in the Gourmet Collection are lighter, more economical versions of Wusthof’s forged knives. The 16-Piece Knife Block Set includes:

• Cook’s Knife – used for chopping, mincing & dicing – one of the most versatile tools in the kitchen
• Bread Knife – slices effortlessly thru tough crust without compressing the soft bread inside, leaving minimal crumbs
• Santoku knife – it has a thinner blade than the traditional cook’s knife with a 10° cutting edge which makes it ideal for chopping, slicing & dicing vegetables

• Utility Knife – a larger version of a paring knife which is perfect for mincing herbs or onions, cutting vegetables, or small cuts of meat

About the Wusthof Gourmet Collection
The Wusthof Gourmet Series is seen as the introductory line for home chefs just starting to build their cutlery collection. With a reasonable price point and riveted handles that are also used in the Wusthof Classic Series, these knives are a great starting point for any cutlery enthusiast. One of the biggest benefits of the Gourmet Series is that it offers a huge range of knives and knife sets. Each knife in this line is stamped as opposed to forged and while this means they won’t retain their edge as long, Wusthof makes these blades with high-quality steel as their other knives, ensuring that, with proper care, these knives can outlast their competitors. The Wusthof Gourmet Series is a great choice for anyone looking for more cutlery options and is willing to care for their knives in the long term.
