The chef's knife is the hero of your kitchen — it's an all-rounder in food preparation that supports the widest variety of kitchen tasks.
 
After a chef's knife, the paring knife is the second-most important knife to have on hand in your kitchen. The small, narrow blade of this knife is easy to handle, making it the perfect knife to trim, slice, and peel small produce such as herbs, strawberries, and garlic cloves. With a plain-edge blade that tapers to a point at the tip, this 4" paring knife is your handy companion for detailed kitchen work that requires precise, agile control.
 
A bread knife is one of the more important knives to have in your kitchen. Beyond crusty loaves of bread and soft dinner rolls, this bread knife is also perfect for slicing into hard-skinned fruits and vegetables. The concave, serrated edge of this knife works like the teeth of a saw, yet much finer — this means minimal pressure is required for clean, even cuts.
 
The extra-sharp carving knife has a longer, narrower blade than a chef's knife. The increased surface area of the blade allows for clean, even slicing and a higher level of maneuverability. The pointed tip of the knife is designed to help guide meat away from the bone for effortless carving with minimal waste.
 
The honing steel is essential for keeping your sharp knives sharp. A few strokes of both sides of the knife over the steel will help you to maintain the sharpness of your good blades.
 
The Classic series has been the best-selling Wüsthof collection for generations, featuring blades precision-forged from a single piece of Wüsthof steel hardened to 58 Rockwell; stainless steel rivets for extra durability; and a full bolster for optimal balance and safety.
