Oak knife block WMF Spitzenklasse Plus 5 kitchen knives

The Spitzenklasse Plus 5-knife block is a concentrate of efficiency and durability!

With its 36.5 x 20 x 15 cm dimensions, this block can be placed on any worktop and contains all the knives you need for everyday use in the kitchen. In fact, it takes up very little space, allowing you to keep your kitchen knives within easy reach at all times.

This block contains these 5 knives:

- 1 paring knife 8cm: for peeling and slicing small fruits and vegetables

- 1 12cm utility knife: for cutting medium-sized fruit and vegetables

- 1 16cm utility knife: for slicing large fruits and vegetables

- 1 20cm chef's knife: for all cuts of boneless vegetables, meat and fish

- 1 20cm serrated bread knife: for slicing bread and brioche

Each knife features an X50CrMoV15 steel blade. This alloy is composed of approximately 0.5% carbon, whose purpose is to solidify the blade. 15% chromium is also included in the composition of this steel, giving it its stainless character. Molybdenum reinforces the blade's strength and rust-proofing. Finally, vanadium completes the steel's resistance to impact.

The blades are forged, proof of the high quality of these knives. Forging is traditionally carried out in one of Germany's largest forges, in Hayingen, and gives the knives a top-quality cutting edge. After forging, the blades are heated in a special furnace, which changes the structure of the steel. The steel hardens and is then ground to a sharper angle. This is Performance Cut technology: it gives the blades their precise, even contours to retain their sharpness for a very long time.

Knife handles are made from top-quality synthetic materials to ensure perfect hygiene and sturdiness during use. Like the blades, the handles are also forged and feature 3 rivets for added strength. The bolster of each knife is also forged and serves as protection. It prevents your fingers from slipping on the blade.

As these knives are forged, they are perfectly balanced for ease of use. The curved shape of the handles ensures optimum grip. We recommend that you wash your knives by hand and dry them promptly to ensure that they last.

An oak wood block allows you to store your knives on your worktop. Oak has an elegant, natural design that adds warmth to your decor. It features 5 predefined interstices for each kitchen knife.

This block is ideal for anyone looking for efficient, must-have knives! A great gift idea!
