Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional – the classic kitchen tool series, with more than 70 different blade shapes (6–36 cm blade length), stands out for ease of use and is the right tool for every home cook and professional. Single-piece forged stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel blade, hardness 58 HRC, with a 29° edge angle. This special, high-carbon, corrosion-resistant alloy ensures that the critical properties of every Wüsthof knife are retained from the outset: razor-sharp, long-lasting cutting edge, high rust resistance and an easily restored edge. Made in 55 refined manufacturing steps, from forging through hardening and sharpening to polishing, and every perfectly made Classic knife passes more than 20 uncompromising quality control points. Exceptionally sharp thanks to the Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) laser-controlled sharpening process. Final hand-finishing by experienced Wüsthof specialists ensures extraordinary sharpness and fast, easy cutting.
The handle panels are 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, optimal cutting edge along the full blade length, 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 handle end prevents slipping. The robust handle panels are secured with stainless steel rivets.
• Full tang – the blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability for the knife. It also acts as a counterweight, ensuring the blade is balanced.
• Precision double-serrated edge – the bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts a hard crust 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 bolster reliably protects the fingers during everyday cooking, and the balance makes quick, precise work easier.
• Ribbed blade – during cutting, small air pockets form in the recesses of the blade. As a result, thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick to it.
• Butcher knife – this characteristic new knife is perfectly suited to portioning meat and effortlessly cuts large fruits and vegetables. This specially designed model is an exceptionally artistic creation in forged steel.
