In the block, you’ll find a great assortment including all the must haves plus a scissors, and a honing steel. The knife handles are synthetic, so they’ll never warp or splinter and will always feel smooth in your grip. Yet, it also has the heft to cut a whole chicken into quarters. Right out of the box, it’s sharp enough to slice ripe tomatoes without squishing. On the chef’s knife, called a "cook’s knife" by Wusthof, there’s a rounded blade that glides when you’re lifting it to cut a carrot or onion and that can be rocked back and forth when you’re mincing a mound of parsley into confetti.
