Saw this at costco in warehouse in marina del rey california. Can't find it online so maybe its in warehouse only.

Sorry for the horrible picture, but I didn't really know what I was looking at until I took a pic and showed it to a friend who knows knives better (I am looking for knives....) , you can just barely read the 3 knives on the label in attached pic.

https://www.costco.com/kitchen-di...tlery.html

8" chef knife
5" serrated utility knife
3.5" paring knife

The knives and block are $373 on amazon. Hopefully this is useful to someone.

So interestingly enough, my Costco (Raleigh, NC) has a VERY similar set for the same price ($249.99), but with different knives included. The one at mine included the following:

WÜSTHOF Classic 4-Piece Prep Knife In-Drawer Set (1758065)

Classic 7" Santoku With Hollow Edge [wusthof.com] - $170
Classic 8" Bread Knife [wusthof.com] - $135
Classic 4" Extra Wide Pairing Knife [wusthof.com] - $115
In-Drawer Knife Organizer [wusthof.com] - $65

WÜSTHOF "total cost" - $485

I tried seeing if maybe both were just hidden away, but all the boxes at my Costco only included the ones I stated above (the "Prep" set, OP's seems to be labeled as the "Starter" set)

WÜSTHOF Classic 4-Piece Starter Knife In-Drawer Set (OP's)

Classic 8" Chef's Knife [wusthof.com] - $170
Classic 5" Serrated Utility Knife [wusthof.com] - $115
Classic 3.5" Pairing Knife [wusthof.com] - $95 (Don't know if OP's is an "extra wide" version or not)
In-Drawer Knife Organize [wusthof.com]r - $65

WÜSTHOF "total cost" - $445

So it seems theoretically, one may be more "valuable" on paper than the other, but just depends on what you're looking for.

I think it's a decent deal either way personally. I ended up buying it and pairing it (no pun intended) with this deal https://slickdeals.net/f/16982215-129-00-w-sthof-classic-hollow-edge-2-piece-chef-s-knife-set-black-6-nd-3-5-inch-at-amazon

I didn't need 2 pairing knives, but at least they're different.

Tangent, those wood drawer organizers from Wusthof are my favorite storage for knives. (One is included in that kit.)

I bought the 8" Chef's knife a couple years ago and it's been my favorite knife to use for close to everything I do. I added a couple other knives from Wusthof and would definitely jump on this if I hadn't pieced together my own set at this point.

Great breakdown interesting the locations have different selection. Only point I'll make is the real value is in the 8" chef's knife simply from a usage point of view. Bread knife may hold high value cost wise but usage case is obviously limited.

just my 2 cents:
8" might be on the small side for a chef's knife (normally you would want 10-12" for 'average' people)
the 7" is also a big small for the santoku (these you normally want 8")

so if you have a knife set and want to upgrade you might find these on the small side if you aren't aware.

I saw that in our warehouse in Texas (DFW). We have a large set of Wüsthof Classic knives that we bought several years ago at Williams Sonoma and they're great! I know that there are a lot of sets at Costco itself or elsewhere that might be a "better deal" if you think about quantity, but at the end of the day, high quality and the right knives that you'd need on a daily basis matter most.
And from the selection we got, the 3 knives in this set are the 3 we probably use the most! Our set is white and I wish Costco would have the single knives in white as well so we could increase our set.
Also, if you're not willing to hand wash these after every time after use and carefully place it back into the holder, then don't bother buying them. These are not stainless steel (for a reason!) and would rust easily.

For daily use, this chef's knife is actually comfortable and I find myself using this one a lot more often than the bigger one (that we also have in our set). My wife has small hands and it's a great size for her too.

💯! Having both this 8' and the bigger Chef's knife in our set, I definitely use this one far more than the bigger one

Is it just me, or is the Woot deal for the Classic 6 piece set a better deal at $299, with the possibility to get $20 additional off through the Woot app? The 6 piece set includes: paring, boning, bread, chef's, and carving, plus a honing steel.

Of course there is the benefit of Costco's return policy and cash back.
