Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional – the classic kitchen knife series, which includes more than 70 different blade shapes (blade lengths from 6 to 36 cm), stands out for its ease of use and is the right tool for all home cooking and professional use. Blade forged from a single piece of stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel, 58 HRC hardness, with a 29° edge angle. This special, high-carbon, corrosion-resistant alloy ensures that all critical properties of every Wüsthof knife are retained from the outset: razor-sharp, long-lasting cutting edge, high rust resistance, easily restored edge. Made in 55 refined production steps: from forging through hardening and sharpening to polishing, and every perfectly manufactured Classic knife passes more than 20 uncompromising quality control points. Particularly sharp thanks to the Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) laser-controlled sharpening process. The final work, done by hand by Wüsthof's experienced specialists, provides extraordinary sharpness and quick, easy cutting.
They have handle panels made of comfortable, durable synthetic material, polyoxymethylene (POM), which has a denser molecular structure to resist fading and discolouration. The full bolster protects the hand, ensuring safety and balanced weight distribution. The robust handle panels are triple-riveted for durability.
Wüsthof technology offers outstanding sharpness: extremely high initial cutting performance, exceptionally long edge retention, long blade life, optimal cutting edge along the full length of the blade, and unique, consistently high and reproducible quality.
The Wüsthof Classic series holds 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.
• Full tang – The blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability for the knife. It also ensures balance as a counterweight.
• Precision double-serrated edge – The bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts hard crusts as easily as soft bread, or large fruits such as pumpkin. The difference compared with a traditional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• Full bolster – The full finger guard reliably protects the fingers during everyday cooking, and the balance makes quick and precise work easier.
• Fluted blade – When cutting, small air pockets form in the blade's recesses. This means thin or soft foods can be removed from the blade more easily during use and do not stick.
• Butcher's knife – The distinctive new knife is perfectly suited to portioning meat and cuts large fruits and vegetables effortlessly. This specially designed model is an extraordinary creation in forged steel.
