Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional – the classic kitchen tool series, containing more than 70 different blade shapes (blade lengths 6–36 cm), stands out for its ease of use and is the right tool for all home cooking and professionals. Single-piece forged stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel blade, hardness 58 HRC, 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, 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. Especially 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 fast, simple cutting. The handles have synthetic handle panels made of comfortable and durable 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, 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 end of the handle prevents slipping. The robust handle panels are secured with stainless steel rivets.
• Full tang - The blade runs through the entire handle, providing reliable stability for the knife. It also acts as a counterweight, balancing the blade.
• Precision double-serrated edge - The bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts through 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 quick and precise work easier.
• Ribbed blade - When cutting, small air pockets form in the recesses of the blade. This has the positive effect that thin or soft foods are easier to release from the blade during use and do not stick.
• Cleaver - The characteristic new knife is perfectly suited to portioning meat, and effortlessly cuts large fruit and vegetables. This specially designed model is an extremely artistic creation made from forged steel.
