Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional – the classic kitchen tool series contains more than 70 different blade shapes (blade lengths from 6 to 36 cm), stands out for ease of use, and is the right tool for every home cook and professional. Forged from a single piece of stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel with 58 HRC hardness, 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 start: 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 made 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 fast, easy cutting. The handles have comfortable, durable synthetic 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.
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 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 sits 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 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 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 recesses of the blade. The positive effect is that thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick to it.
• Butcher's knife – This distinctive new knife is perfectly suited to portioning meat, and cuts large fruits and vegetables effortlessly. The special design model is an extremely artistic creation made of forged steel.
