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 stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel, 58 HRC hardness blade, with a 29° edge angle. This special, high-carbon, corrosion-resistant alloy ensures that the critical properties of every Wüsthof knife are maintained from the start: razor-sharp, long-lasting cutting edge, high rust resistance, easily restored edge. Made in 55 sophisticated production steps: from forging through hardening and sharpening to polishing, and every perfectly made Classic knife passes more than 20 uncompromising quality control checkpoints. Particularly sharp thanks to the laser-guided Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) sharpening process. The final work, done by hand by Wüsthof's experienced specialists, ensures extreme sharpness and quick, easy cutting. Comfortable and durable with synthetic handle panels made of polyoxymethylene (POM), which has a denser molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. The full bolster protects the hand, ensuring safety and a 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 unique, consistently high and reproducible quality. The Wüsthof Classic series holds NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) public health and food safety certification.

• Hand guard – 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. It also acts as a counterweight, balancing the blade.
• Precision double serrated edge – the bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts hard crusts as easily as soft bread, or large fruits such as pumpkin. The difference compared with traditional serrated edges is immediately noticeable.
• Full bolster – the full finger guard reliably protects fingers during everyday cooking, and the balance makes work quick and precise.
• Ribbed blade – when cutting, small air pockets form in the blade's recesses. This has the positive effect that thin or soft foods can be removed from the blade more easily during use and do not stick to it.
• Butcher's knife – this distinctive new knife is perfectly suited to portioning meat and easily cuts large fruits and vegetables. A special design, an extremely artistic creation in forged steel.
