Wüsthof Gourmet series
Agile and versatile. The blades of Gourmet knives are laser-cut from stainless X50CrMoV15 steel sheet and then processed in 35 production stages. The edge is formed to a 28° edge angle, and the final work done by hand by specialists gives extraordinary sharpness and fast, simple cutting. Thanks to their very high hardness of 56 HRC, they are comparable in quality and sharpness to forged knives. Their lower weight and unique ergonomics make them very comfortable to hold, extremely balanced and strong, so cutting is easier and gentler on both hand and wrist. The special black plastic handle is triple-riveted. 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 domestic households as a starter set or as essential equipment for a professional kitchen.
The Wüsthof Gourmet series holds NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certification for public health and food safety.
• 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 skin, while the split tip lifts the slices. The knife is also good for cheese and fruit.
• Garnishing knife: a special blade for decorative cutting of raw and cooked fruit and vegetables or for finely portioning butter, excellent for creative cooks.
• Full tang: the blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability. It also acts as a counterweight, balancing the blade.
• Wavy edge: the inside-formed wavy edge gives a clean cut and is suitable for large fruits, vegetables or roasts. With its wide, long blade it is ideal for bread and cakes.
