Featuring three knives essential to any kitchen, this set provides a solid foundation for beginning cooks and expert chefs alike. Great for chopping, slicing, dicing, mincing, coring and more, the high-carbon stainless steel blades can handle any cutting task with ease.

The 8" chef’s knife will quickly become the workhorse of your kitchen. An indispensable, all-purpose knife that can be used for everyday chopping, mincing, slicing and dicing, it’s also ideal for heavy-duty work like cutting through thicker vegetables or cuts of meat. The 8" bread knife boasts a serrated edge to help guide the blade through tough crust without compressing the tender, fluffy interior. It’s also great for cutting fruits and veggies with a tough outer skin and a soft inside. Rounding out the trio is a versatile 4.5" utility knife, which is sized just right for a wide range of kitchen tasks. Use it for mincing shallots, onions and herbs as well as cutting fruits, veggies and meats.

Each Wüsthof Gourmet blade is laser-cut from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel for a precise, razor-sharp edge. Plus, each blade is laser tested to ensure desired sharpness and correct cutting angle. Handles are made with a highly durable synthetic material that resists fading and discoloration for years of use.
