No kitchen is complete without the reliable performance of the Wusthof Classic 3-Piece Kitchen Essentials Set. Handmade in Germany since 1814, Wusthof cutlery is prized by the world's best chefs for restaurant and home cooking. Considered one of busiest knives in the kitchen, the 8" chef's knife is ideal for cutting board tasks with a rigid blade to absorb impact. A slight curve enhances the ultra-sharp blade's balance and prevents food from clinging. The Wusthof Classic cutlery line is precision forged of high-carbon, stain-resistant steel and skillfully honed by hand to razor sharpness. The heft of the Wusthof chef's knife lets gravity do most of the work. The 8" chef's knife offers a firm, comfortable grip for coarse or fine chopping, mincing and dicing of everything from thick stew meats to delicate chives and cilantro. The wide flat blade surface is perfect for flattening and shaping meat cuts such as filets. The hand-buffed virtually indestructible full tang handle is triple-riveted for superior strength and durability. Since 1814, knives bearing the Wusthof name and the Trident logo have been crafted in the world's "Cutlery Capital" of Solingen, Germany. Today, in a state-of-the-art facility, that tradition of quality is ensured as old-world craftsmanship meets modern production methods.
The Wusthof Classic 3-piece set includes gourmet kitchen shears that quarter chicken, portion meat to grill or freeze, cut through vegetables and snip fresh herbs without straining your hands. Zip cleanly through parchment paper. Open stiff plastic packaging, too. Handles pull apart for thorough sanitization and for resharpening of blades, then lock back into place. The kitchen shears open stubborn jar lids and bottle caps using the adjustable gripper teeth below the handle.
The Wusthof 2-stage manual knife sharpener features tungsten carbide blades for a precision-sharp edge and ceramic rods that hone the edge to polished perfection. The Wusthof sharpener is lightweight and simple to use. Just a few quick strokes keep knives in top-notch working condition. Nonslip grips on the base and handle for firm steady control. The legendary quality that Wusthof brings to its cutlery is seen in this easy-care sharpener.

Use and Care
Knife and Kitchen Shears
• Wusthof cutlery is dishwasher-safe but hand washing is recommended. In the dishwasher, your Wusthof 8" chef's knife and kitchen shears may bang against other cutlery or pots and pans and knick the blades.
• Your kitchen shears come apart for thorough sanitation and easily locks back into place. Wipe the blades of the chef's knife and kitchen shears clean with a wet cloth and dishwashing detergent. Dry immediately.
• No metal is completely stain-free. To prevent slight tarnishing, be sure to remove acidic foods (lemon, mustard, ketchup, etc.) from the blades after use. If blades should show some signs of staining, clean with a non-abrasive metal polish.
• To prevent irreparable blade damage, it is best to store your chef's knife and kitchen shears in a knife block or in-drawer knife tray.
2-Stage Manual Knife Sharpener
• Safe and easy to use, the Wusthof 2-stage knife sharpener requires only a few strokes to keep blades sharp. In the ceramic fine stage, the knife sharpener can be used for serrated and scalloped edges.
• Place sharpener on a flat work surface. Hold the sharpener with one hand as indicated and the knife handle with the other. Insert knife blade fully into the slot at a 90-degree angle to the sharpener.
• Apply moderate downward pressure on the blade while pulling the knife toward you through the appropriate notch. Repeat this action, always pulling the blade from heel to tip (never back and forth) through either the carbide or the ceramic notch.
• Note: The first stage carbide (coarse) sharpens dull edges. The second stage ceramic (fine) provides a polished, razor sharp edge. A reasonably sharp knife may only require this light honing.
• Always clean your sharpener after use. Clean with a damp cloth or mild brush, wipe dry. Do not rinse with water.
