Our take on the Wüsthof Classic

The Wüsthof Classic 7-piece set puts the core German kitchen knives in a beech block: chef's, santoku, bread, paring and more, all forged from high-carbon stainless steel at 58 HRC. The full tang and triple-riveted handles give the heft and balance the Classic line is known for. It suits cooks who want one durable, no-frills set rather than specialty blades. Against Japanese knives it trades razor thinness for toughness and edge retention that shrugs off bones and squash; against cheaper stamped sets the forging and hardness are the real step up.

Questions and answers

Is the Wüsthof Classic set worth it over a cheaper block set?
Yes, if you want forged blades that hold an edge. The steel and full-tang construction outlast stamped sets, and the Classic line is easy to sharpen and maintain.
Can these knives go in the dishwasher?
No. Hand wash and dry them promptly. Dishwasher heat and detergent dull the edge and can damage the handle scales.
How does Wüsthof Classic compare with Wüsthof Ikon?
Ikon has a more contoured, rivet-free handle and costs more. The blades are similar; Classic gives the same steel with a traditional triple-riveted handle.
What knives are in the 7-piece set?
The set includes a chef's knife, santoku, bread knife, paring knife and additional blades, plus the knife block. Check the listing for the exact lineup.
Do the knives need special sharpening?
A honing steel keeps the edge aligned between sharpenings. Use a whetstone or a pull-through sharpener suited to 58 HRC steel every few months.
Is the santoku good for vegetables?
Yes. The fluted blade releases slices of cucumber, potato and onion cleanly, and the wide blade works well for scooping.
Where is the Wüsthof Classic cheapest?
At eBay, for $95.00, 91% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Wüsthof Classic?
4 stores we checked sell it, including eBay, The Container Store, BbqGuys, Nordstrom.
