Wüsthof Urban Farmer series
Grow. Prepare. Eat.
The Urban Farmer knife series is for urban gardeners, and for everyone who becomes one. Preparation begins not on the cutting board but in the field and the small garden, where freshly harvested fruit and vegetables ripen over time. More than half of the population no longer lives in the countryside but in cities. Most large cities have little uncultivated land. The urban alternative is urban farming. Land is enthusiastically cultivated, sown and harvested on balconies, roof gardens or small plots on the outskirts. The new Wüsthof knife series, Urban Farmer, expresses this lifestyle. The knives in this series are varied. The unique series' knives accompany fresh produce from growing through harvesting and preparation to eating. For city dwellers who need fresh food, home gardening and natural, healthy eating.
Cutting
The right knife for every task. Urban Farmer knives can be used indoors and outdoors: the pruning knife and the machete are for growing and harvesting vegetables and herbs. The pruning knife, with its distinctive curve at the end, is suitable for harvesting, preparing and peeling fruit and small vegetables. The high-performance machete, combining a serrated and a plain edge, is the optimal tool for harvesting and cutting large vegetables or whole lettuce heads. For preparation there is a bread knife, a slicer, a Santoku and two chef's knives of different sizes. Eating is followed by a vegetable knife and a four-piece steak knife.
Weatherproof, sustainable and durable.
The knives in the series have impressive, unique advantages. The sharp blade is laser-cut from a special high-carbon stainless steel alloy with 56 HRC hardness. The knives hold their edge for a long time, are flexible and easy to resharpen. The ergonomic handle made of heat-treated beechwood is extremely robust and comfortable. Made from sustainably grown, high-quality beechwood, the uncoated handle is heat-treated for durability and water resistance. The finger guard (bolster) between blade and handle is made of a non-slip, soft-touch special plastic (TPE) that ensures a secure grip and easy handling even in wet weather.
• Handle – The handle made of smoked beech has a natural texture and rewards the user with a smooth feel.
• Non-slip finger guard – Always hold the knife firmly: the non-slip bolster is made of a high-performance special synthetic material. It offers a completely secure grip, even with wet hands.
• Serrated edge – The robust serrated edge cuts tomatoes beautifully – and the same goes for most vegetables, soft fruit with a hard skin, bread, rolls and cured sausage.
• Pruning knife – With the distinctive curve of its tip, this unique blade shape is excellent for harvesting, preparing and peeling fruit and small vegetables.
• Machete – For harvesting and chopping large vegetables and whole lettuce heads: the strong machete is the best tool in the garden, and combined with serrated and plain edges it is also excellent for kitchen preparation, e.g. cabbage or pumpkin.
