Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional: the classic kitchen tool series includes more than 70 different blade shapes (6 to 36 cm blade lengths), 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, 58 HRC hardness, with a 29° edge angle. This special, high-carbon, corrosion-resistant alloy ensures that all the key properties of every Wüsthof knife are preserved from the start: razor-sharp, long-lasting cutting edge, high rust resistance, and an 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. Particularly sharp thanks to Precision Edge Technology (PEtec), a laser-controlled sharpening process. The final work, done by hand by experienced Wüsthof specialists, provides exceptional sharpness and quick, 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 and ensures 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 life, optimal cutting edge along the full length of the blade, and unique, consistently high and reproducible quality. The Wüsthof Classic series holds NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certification for public health and food safety.
• Bolster - The ergonomic knife handle fits well in the hand, and the curved handle end prevents slipping. The robust handle panels are fixed with stainless steel rivets.
• Full tang - The blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability for the knife. It also provides balance as a counterweight to the blade.
• Precision double-serrated edge - The bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts a hard crust as easily as soft bread, or large fruit such as pumpkin. The difference from a conventional 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 hollows of the blade. This means 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 effortlessly cuts large fruit and vegetables. This specially designed model is an extremely artistic creation in forged steel.
