Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional: the classic kitchen tool series, which includes more than 70 different blade shapes (6–36 cm blade length), stands out for its ease of use, and is the right tool for every home cook and professional. Forged from a single piece of rust-resistant (X50CrMoV15) steel, the blade has a hardness of 58 HRC and a 29° edge angle. This special high-carbon, corrosion-resistant alloy ensures that all the critical properties of every Wüsthof knife are preserved from the outset: razor-sharp, long-lasting cutting edge, high rust resistance, and an edge that can be easily restored. Made in 55 sophisticated manufacturing steps, from forging through hardening and sharpening to polishing, and every perfectly manufactured Classic knife passes more than 20 uncompromising quality control points. The Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) laser-controlled sharpening process makes it especially sharp. The final work carried out by hand by Wüsthof's experienced specialists provides extraordinary sharpness and quick, easy cutting. It has comfortable and durable synthetic handle panels made of 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 sturdy handle panels are triple-riveted for durability.
The Wüsthof technology offers outstanding sharpness: extremely high initial cutting performance, exceptionally long edge retention, long blade life, an optimal cutting edge along the full length of the blade, and a unique, consistently high and reproducible quality.
The Wüsthof Classic 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 handle end prevents slipping. The sturdy handle panels are fixed 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 hard crusts as easily as soft bread, or large fruit 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 work quick and precise.
• Ribbed blade: small air pockets form at the blade's hollows when cutting. This means thin or soft foods can be removed from the blade more easily during use and do not stick.
• Meat knife: this distinctive new knife is perfectly suited to portioning meat, and cuts large fruit and vegetables effortlessly. This specially designed model is an extremely artistic creation made of forged steel.
