Wüsthof Gourmet 3-Piece Starter Knife Set

Three knives, one starter set, and a kitchen ready to cook.

Meet the Gourmet 3-Piece Starter Knife Set from Wüsthof, the three blades most kitchens reach for every day. The 8" chef’s knife handles chopping, mincing, slicing and dicing. The 8" serrated bread knife saws through crusty loaves and soft tomatoes without squashing them. The 4.5" utility knife takes care of the small jobs, from trimming to peeling and slicing fruit. Laser-cut from a single piece of high-carbon, stain-resistant steel, they’re lightweight, sharp and easy to control, with comfortable black handles. Made in Solingen, Germany, the “City of Blades,” since 1814. A great first set for a new home cook, a housewarming gift or anyone building a kitchen.

What Makes It Special

How to Use

Use on a wooden or plastic cutting board, and avoid hard surfaces such as metal, glass or hardwoods like bamboo. Wash by hand and towel-dry immediately. Do not put in the dishwasher, soak in the sink or use abrasive sponges. Hone regularly and sharpen as needed with a whetstone, sharpening steel or hand-held sharpener (14° per side for the standard blades). The knives do not come with sheaths, so store them in a knife block, in a drawer with blade guards or on a magnetic strip. Keep out of reach of children.
