This limited edition Wusthof knife set includes a 4-inch paring knife and a 9-inch chef's knife forged out of carbon steel; the way they were 200 years ago. Carbon steel offers an extremely fine structure with exceptional hardness, giving these knives the ability to hold a razor sharp edge. Carbon steel is also relatively easy to sharpen, which makes carbon steel knives preferred by professionals. The traditional handle and bolster design is reminiscent of early production Wusthof models. These blades will turn dark and develop a rich patina over time, giving them a true heirloom look and feel. Remember though, unlike modern steels, carbon steel is not stainless, so it's recommended to lightly wipe the blades with oil to keep rust from forming when stored. Hand wash only.
