WUSTHOF Amici 5-Piece Knife Block Set

Forged in Germany, inspired by Italy: each Amici knife pays homage to our collaboration with Castello di Serragiumenta – a 16th century castle in the Calabrian countryside.

Inspired by the abundant sunshine and farmland of Calabria, Italy, WÜSTHOF Amici embodies “la dolce vita”: the joyful zest for life. The Amici series combines our iconic, precision-forged blades with uniquely grained Calabrian olive wood handles, fusing modern craftsmanship with Italian design sensibilities to create an ideal knife for preparing and sharing meals. Benvenuti Amici.

Made in Solingen, Germany

Unique Blades

The Amici blade is forged from a single piece of WÜSTHOF steel in our factory in Solingen, Germany. Our special stainless steel, shaped precisely in our forge, is exceptionally hard, durable, and rust-resistant. Each blade is finished by hand by our experienced knife artisans to perfect it for daily use.

Calabrian Olive Wood

Each Amici knife is an original thanks to the distinct grain of the olive wood handles. The Calabrian olive tree is slow growing, with extremely durable wood that is naturally water-repellent and antibacterial. Our sustainably sourced wood comes mainly from olive trees that bear little to no fruit, due to their advanced age.

AMICI knife set

Special knives inspired by the sunny hills of Calabria deserve an eye-catching knife block. The round, leather-bound Amici Villa Knife Block can safely and stylishly store up to six knives (with a maximum blade length of 9 inches). The Italian-leather side stitching subtly magnifies the beauty of the Amici series’ characteristic olive wood handles, and the premium beechwood acts as a stable, non-slip base for expertly storing your blades between meals.
