The Wusthof Classic 2-Piece Starter Set is the perfect starter set for home cooks or professional chefs. This two-piece knife set includes one Classic 8" Chef's Knife and one Classic 3.5" Paring Knife. The chef knife, the workhorse of the kitchen, excels at chopping, dicing, slicing, mincing, julienning, and pretty much everything else under the sun. The paring knife takes up the slack in smaller jobs: whether it’s peeling an apple, coring a tomato, de-stemming a strawberry, or garnishing a fruit plate, the paring knife’s nimble size and practical shape flows effortlessly from task to task.
