Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional: the classic kitchen tool series, which includes more than 70 different blade shapes (blade lengths from 6 to 36 cm), 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, 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 and an easily restored edge. Made in 55 refined production steps, from forging through hardening and sharpening to polishing; every perfectly manufactured 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 experienced Wüsthof specialists, gives extraordinary sharpness and fast, simple cutting.
They have comfortable, 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.
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 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 sturdy handle panels are fixed with stainless steel rivets.
• Full tang – The blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability. It also acts as a counterweight, balancing the knife.
• Precision double-serrated edge – The bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts hard crusts as easily as soft bread or large fruit. The difference from 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 – Air pockets form in the blade's indentations during cutting. Thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick to it.
• Butcher's knife – This characteristic knife is perfectly suited to portioning meat and effortlessly cuts large fruit and vegetables. This specially designed model is an exceptionally artistic creation in forged steel.
