It occurred to me as I was preparing my wedding registry to share some of my choices. Right now I’m registering for knives, particularly those from Wusthof. They are of a really high quality, last a long time and stay sharp. I’ve looked at a lot of knives and particularly like the ways these feel.
These are the 3 I’m asking for:
Wüsthof Classic 8-Inch Cook’s Knife
Wüsthof Classic 8-Inch Bread Knife

I looked at the smaller paring knife, which is the norm, but it just felt too small for Ianiv at the 3-5 or 4 inch level. So, we decided to upgrade and are good with anything over 5.5
Wusthof Classic 6 inch Utility Knife
I particularly want the 6″ paring knife, but the utility knife is similar.
I think these three cover off your primary cooking needs, so it should serve us well.


i have both the chef’s knife and the utility knife as well as an 8-inch carving — but i really would like one with the granton edge! the bread knife is next on my list! and a ham slicer, and a santoku….
[...] good knives – like these Wusthof’s [...]
Yeah, I wish they had the 3 I want in a set. It would make it easier for someone to get it from my registry!
I was just dreaming about that wusthof 8 inch today. If there is one ONE gadget every cook should have, its a kick arse knife.
