Wüsthof Gourmet series
Agile and versatile. Gourmet knife blades are laser-cut from stainless X50CrMoV15 steel sheet and then processed in 35 production stages. The edge is shaped to a 28° edge angle, and the final hand work by specialists provides extraordinary sharpness and fast, easy cutting. Thanks to their extremely high hardness of 56 HRC, they are comparable in quality and sharpness to forged knives. Their low weight and unique ergonomics make them very comfortable to hold, extremely well balanced and strong, making cutting easier and gentler on both hand and wrist. The special black plastic handle is triple-riveted. It is dishwasher safe and therefore extremely hygienic. The Gourmet series offers an excellent price-performance ratio and, with more than 40 different products, is just as useful for households as a starter set or as essential equipment for professional kitchens.
The Wüsthof Gourmet series holds the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) public health and food safety certification.
• Hand guard – The ergonomic knife handle fits well in the hand, and the curved end of the handle prevents slipping. The robust handle panels are fixed with stainless steel rivets.
• Tomato knife – The finely serrated edge cuts smoothly through firm tomato skins, while the split tip lifts the slices. The knife can also be used well for cheese and fruit.
• Garnishing knife – A special blade for decorative cutting of raw and cooked fruit and vegetables, or for finely portioning butter, ideal for creative cooks.
• Full tang – The blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability for the knife. It also provides balance as a counterweight.
• Wavy edge – The internally formed wavy edge gives clean cuts and is suitable for large fruits, vegetables or baked goods. The wide, long blade is ideally suited for bread and cakes.
