Wüsthof Urban Farmer series
Grow. Prepare. Eat. The Urban Farmer knife series is for urban gardeners, and for everyone who is becoming one. Preparing food begins not on the chopping board but in the field and the kitchen 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, and most large cities have little uncultivated land. An alternative for city residents is urban farming. Land is enthusiastically worked, sown and harvested on balconies, rooftop gardens or small plots on the outskirts. The new Wüsthof Urban Farmer knife series expresses this lifestyle. The knives in this series are versatile. This unique series accompanies fresh produce from cultivation through harvesting and preparation to eating, for city dwellers who value fresh food, home gardening and natural, healthy eating.
Cut. The right knife for every task.
Urban Farmer knives can be used indoors and outdoors: the pruning knife and machete are for growing and harvesting vegetables and herbs. The pruning knife, with its distinctive curved tip, is suitable for harvesting, preparing and peeling fruit and small vegetables. The high-performance machete, combining serrated and plain edges, is the optimal tool for harvesting and cutting large vegetables or whole lettuce heads. For preparation there are a bread knife, slicer, Santoku and two chef's knives of different sizes. Consumption follows, for which there is a vegetable knife and a four-piece steak knife set.
Weather-resistant, sustainable and durable.
The series' knives have impressive unique advantages. The sharp blade is laser-cut from a special high-carbon stainless steel alloy with 56 HRC hardness. The knives have long-lasting edges, are flexible and easy to re-sharpen. The ergonomic handle made from 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 slip-resistant, soft-touch special plastic (TPE), which ensures a secure grip and easy handling even in wet weather.
• Handle – The smoked beechwood handle 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, offering completely secure grip even with wet hands.
• Serrated edge – Robust serrated knives cut tomatoes beautifully, and the same applies to most vegetables, soft fruit with a hard skin, or bread, rolls and cured sausage.
• Pruning knife – With the distinctive curve at the tip, this unique blade shape is excellent for harvesting, preparing and peeling fruit and smaller vegetables.
• Machete – For harvesting and cutting large vegetables and whole salad heads. The robust machete is the best tool in the garden, and combined with serrated and plain edges it is also ideal for kitchen preparation, e.g. cabbage or pumpkin.
