Wüsthof Gourmet series
Agile and versatile. Gourmet knife blades are laser-cut from X50CrMoV15 stainless steel sheet and then processed in 35 production stages. The edge is shaped to a 28° edge angle, and the final work done by hand by specialists gives extraordinary sharpness and quick, easy cutting. Thanks to their very high 56 HRC hardness, 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. Dishwasher safe, and therefore extremely 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 the basic equipment of a professional kitchen.
The Wüsthof Gourmet series has 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 sturdy handle panels are fixed with stainless steel rivets.
• Tomato knife: The finely serrated edge of the tomato knife cuts smoothly through firm tomato skin, 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, giving the knife reliable stability. It also acts as a counterweight for the balance of the blade.
• Wavy edge: The internally formed wavy edge produces a clean cut and suits large fruits, vegetables or roasts. The wide, long blade is excellent for bread and cakes.
