The Wusthof Classic 2-Piece Starter Set is the perfect starter set for home cooks or professional chefs. This two-piece knife set includes one Classic 8" Chef's Knife and one Classic 3.5" Paring Knife. The chef knife , the workhorse of the kitchen, excels at chopping, dicing, slicing, mincing, julienning, and pretty much everything else under the sun. The paring knife takes up the slack in smaller jobs: whether it’s peeling an apple, coring a tomato, de-stemming a strawberry, or garnishing a fruit plate, the paring knife’s nimble size and practical shape flows effortlessly from task to task. WÜSTHOF Classic Knives have been a staple in professional chefs' collections for generations. Each WÜSTHOF Classic knife is precision-forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, with a full-tang and a durable POM handle. Each blade is sharpened with Precision Edge Technology (PEtec), making every blade 20% sharper with twice the edge retention. The Classic line is WÜSTHOF’s most versatile collection, offering the widest range of knife styles to suit every chef or home cook.
