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 steps. The edge is ground to a 28° edge angle, and the final hand-finished work by specialists gives extraordinary sharpness and fast, easy cutting. Thanks to their very 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, highly balanced and strong, making cutting easier on both hand and wrist. The special black plastic handle is triple-riveted. It is dishwasher safe and therefore highly hygienic. The Gourmet series offers an excellent price-performance ratio and, with more than 40 different products, is as useful for households as a starter set or as an essential piece of equipment for professional kitchens.
The Wüsthof Gourmet series holds NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certification for public health and food safety.
• Finger guard - The ergonomic knife handle sits well in the hand, and the curved end of the handle prevents slipping. The sturdy handle panels are fixed with stainless steel rivets.
• Tomato knife - The finely serrated edge of the tomato knife cuts smoothly through a firm tomato skin, while the split tip lifts the slices. The knife can also be used well for cheese and fruit.
• Decorating knife - The special blade for decorative cutting of raw and cooked fruit and vegetables, or for finely portioning butter, is ideal for creative cooks.
• Full tang - The blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability for the knife. It also acts as a counterweight to balance the blade.
• Wavy edge - The internally formed wavy edge gives a clean cut and is suitable for large fruits, vegetables or baked goods. With its wide, long blade it is excellent for bread and cakes.
