Preparing a soothing pot of minestrone or a zesty rack of chicken kabobs requires chopping bell peppers, dicing onions, slicing meat, and mincing garlic. Each task necessitates a different knife that caters to the ingredients’ hardiness and texture. To cover the wide gamut of cutting in the kitchen, Wusthof offers this quality knife set from their Grand Prix2 line. Wusthof has produced highly functional knives since setting up base in 1814 in Solinger, Germany. The blade, bolster, and tang of each knife were precision forged from a single sheet of German high carbon, stainless steel extending through the full length of the handle for increased balance and permanence. The hygienic stainless-steel construction resists rusting, staining, and pitting. The craftsmen at Wusthof honed the blades by hand before employing computer-controlled front-to-back tapering, grinding, and polishing techniques and laser testing to guarantee consistency and lifelong sharpness and efficiency. With single-riveted, pebble-grained molded handles, chefs enjoy an ergonomically-friendly hold and chop without the potential hindrance of slipping. The knife block features sturdy oak construction to protect knives while allowing chefs quick access while cooking. For the best results, sharpen knives regularly at a 20-degree angle on the sharpening steel. Although the knives are dishwasher- safe, washing by hand is highly recommended for continued efficacy. Made in Germany, the set is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Jessica Reuling What’s in the Box Set includes a 2.75 inch peeling knife, 3 inch flat cut paring knife, 3.5 inch paring knife, 4.5 inch utility knife, 6 inch utility knife, 8 inch bread knife, 8 inch cook's knife, 9 inch honing steel, come-apart kitchen shears, and a 17-slot storage block
