Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional: the classic kitchen tool series contains more than 70 different blade shapes (blade lengths 6–36 cm) and stands out for ease of use. It is the right tool for every home cook and professional.
Single-piece forged stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel blade, 58 HRC hardness, 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, and every perfectly made Classic knife passes more than 20 uncompromising quality control points. Especially sharp thanks to the Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) laser-guided sharpening process. The final work done by hand by Wüsthof's experienced specialists provides extraordinary sharpness and fast, easy cutting.
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 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 retention, long blade life, an 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 fits well in the hand and the curved handle end prevents slipping. The robust handle panels are secured with stainless steel rivets.
• Full tang: the blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability. It also acts as a counterweight, keeping the blade balanced.
• Precision double-serrated edge: the bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts hard crusts as easily as soft bread or large fruit 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 work quick and precise.
• Fluted blade: during cutting, small air pockets form in the recesses of the blade. The positive effect is that thin or soft foods can be removed more easily from the blade during use and do not stick to it.
• Butcher knife: this distinctive new knife is perfectly suited to portioning meat and effortlessly cuts large fruit and vegetables. This special-design model is an extremely artistic creation made of forged steel.
