Wüsthof Urban Farmer series
Grow. Prepare. Eat. The Urban Farmer knife series is for urban gardeners, and for everyone who becomes one. Food preparation begins not on the chopping 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, and most large cities have little uncultivated land. An alternative for city dwellers is urban farming: land is enthusiastically cultivated, sown and harvested on balconies, roof gardens or small plots on the outskirts. The new Wüsthof Urban Farmer knife series expresses this lifestyle. The knives in this series are varied, and the unique series accompanies fresh produce on its journey from cultivation through harvesting and preparation to consumption. For city dwellers who want 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 for growing and harvesting vegetables and herbs. The pruning knife, with its striking curved tip, is suitable for harvesting, preparing and peeling fruit and small vegetables. The high-performance machete, with its combination of serrated and smooth 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. Consumption is followed by the vegetable knife and the 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 a hardness of 56 HRC. The knives keep a long-lasting edge, are flexible and easy to re-sharpen. The ergonomic handle, made from heat-treated beech wood, is extremely robust and comfortable. Made from sustainably grown, high-quality beech wood, the uncoated handle is heat-treated for durability and water resistance. The finger guard (bolster) between blade and handle is made from a non-slip, soft-touch special plastic (TPE), which ensures a secure grip and easy handling even in wet weather.
• Handle – The handle made from smoked beech has a natural texture and a smooth feel.
• Non-slip finger guard – Always hold the knife firmly; the non-slip bolster is made from a high-performance special synthetic material. It offers a completely secure grip, even with wet hands.
• Serrated edge – Robust serrated edges cut tomatoes beautifully, and the same goes for most vegetables, soft fruit with a hard skin, bread, rolls and cured sausage.
• Pruning knife – With the characteristic curve of the tip, this unique blade shape is ideal for harvesting, preparing and peeling fruit and small vegetables.
• Machete – For harvesting and cutting large vegetables and whole salad heads. The powerful machete is the best tool in the garden; combined with the serrated and smooth edge, it is also ideal for kitchen preparation, e.g. cabbage or pumpkin.
Storage. The new Urban Farmer tool basket. The Urban Farmer series also includes a decorative tool basket made of beech wood and stainless steel. This beautiful garden tool set is not only an ideal storage solution; the knives in the series are also easy to carry. The tool basket makes an attractive gift too.
