Wusthof Limited Edition 200th Anniversary 2pc Knife Set-Carbon Steel

Celebrating 200 Years of Excellence 2014 marks the 200th anniversary of Wusthof, a family-run company that has been producing the highest quality cutlery in Solingen, Germany since 1814. To mark this occasion, Wusthof has looked back at the earliest design of the company's kitchen cutlery for inspiration, and has created the Wusthof 200th Anniversary 2-Piece Knife Set . This set is crafted from carbon steel, a steel preferred by professional chefs for its extremely fine structure and exceptional hardness and durability. The remarkably sharp carbon steel blades on these pieces are full-tang, and the beautiful rosewood handles are secured to the tang using three brass rivets. The Anniversary Knife Set includes a 9-inch Cook's Knife and a 4-inch Paring Knife, and comes in a presentation box celebrating Wusthof's heritage. Also included is a bottle of oil for the maintenance of the blades and the handles. The Wusthof 9" Cook's Knife is a true kitchen multi-tasker.
