{"product_id":"wusthof-crafter-knife-block-set-3-piece","title":"Wusthof Crafter Knife Block Set (3 Piece)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Crafter range is Wusthof's most distinctive — traditional blade shapes, natural smoked oak handles, and authentic brass triple rivets that feel like they belong in a heritage workshop. Not minimalist, not modern. Built to look like it was made for someone who cares about how the tool feels in the hand and how it sits on the bench when it's not being used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis three-piece set covers the two knives most kitchens actually rely on — the 20cm chef's knife for the bulk of the work, and the 9cm paring knife for everything that needs precision — paired with a six-slot block that takes you well beyond the starter setup. The block itself is a small statement piece in its own right, finished in mixed timbers: smoked oak, oak, maple and thermo-beech panels that age handsomely with use. Three slots stay open so you can build the set out over time with steels, shears, or another Crafter blade as your kit grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach knife is fully forged in Solingen from a single piece of Wusthof's chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel, hardened to 58 HRC. Same blade engineering as the Classic range. The difference is the soul of the handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9cm Paring Knife — smoked oak handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20cm Chef's Knife — smoked oak handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-slot mixed-timber knife block (3 spare slots for future additions)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraditional blade shapes\u003c\/strong\u003e — classic Wusthof geometry in the chef's and paring knives, no styling shortcuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmoked oak handles\u003c\/strong\u003e — natural timber that develops character with use, sealed for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrass triple rivets\u003c\/strong\u003e — authentic old-world hardware, polished to contrast the dark handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWÜSTHOF logo branded into handle\u003c\/strong\u003e — signature Crafter detail, burned rather than printed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully forged construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — single piece of X50 CrMoV 15 chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e58 HRC hardness\u003c\/strong\u003e — sharp enough for precision, tough enough to hold the edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfectly balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e — engineered weight distribution from heel to tip for comfort and control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMixed-timber knife block\u003c\/strong\u003e — six slots in smoked oak, oak, maple and thermo-beech panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree spare block slots\u003c\/strong\u003e — room to add a honing steel, kitchen shears, or another Crafter knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForged in Solingen, Germany\u003c\/strong\u003e — designed and manufactured at Wusthof's home factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLifetime warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e — covered against manufacturing defects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAustralian sharpening service\u003c\/strong\u003e — Wusthof sharpening available locally\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only in warm soapy water and dry immediately with a soft cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever dishwasher safe — heat and detergents will damage the timber handles and edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly with a honing steel to keep the edge true between uses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen only when genuinely dull, using a whetstone, sharpening rod, or pull-through sharpener\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut on wood or poly boards — avoid marble, glass, metal, or bamboo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in the included block, out of reach of children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe the block occasionally with a dry cloth — avoid wetting the timber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wüsthof","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53628406432043,"sku":"1090870202W=FA","price":1319.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/6087\/0955\/files\/1090870202W-1000x1000_720x_ddd46902-ba77-4ec1-b940-654e689cfda0.jpg?v=1780101419","url":"https:\/\/www.essentialutensil.au\/products\/wusthof-crafter-knife-block-set-3-piece","provider":"The Essential Utensil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
