Wüsthof Gourmet series
Agile and versatile. Gourmet blades are laser-cut from stainless X50CrMoV15 steel sheet and then processed in 35 production stages. The edge is ground to a 28° edge angle, and the final work done by hand by specialists gives extraordinary sharpness and fast, easy cutting. Thanks to their very high hardness of 56 HRC, they are comparable to forged knives in quality and sharpness. Their low weight and unique ergonomics make them very comfortable to hold, extremely well balanced and strong, making cutting easier on both hand and wrist. The special black plastic handle is triple-riveted. It is dishwasher safe and therefore extremely hygienic. The Gourmet series offers excellent value for money and, with more than 40 different products, is just as useful for domestic households as a starter set or as essential equipment in a professional kitchen.
The Wüsthof Gourmet 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 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.
• Decorating knife - A special blade for decorative cutting of raw and cooked fruit and vegetables, or for finely portioning butter, is ideal for creative cooks.
• Full tang - The blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability. It also acts as a counterweight, balancing the blade.
• Wavy edge - The inside-formed wavy edge gives clean cuts and is suitable for large fruit, vegetables or roasts. With its wide, long blade it is ideal for bread and cakes.
