Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional – the classic kitchen tool range, with over 70 different blade shapes (blade lengths 6–36 cm), stands out for its ease of use and is the right tool for every home and professional cook. Forged from a single piece of stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel, 58 HRC hardness, 29° edge angle. This special high-carbon, corrosion-resistant alloy ensures that the critical properties of every Wüsthof knife are preserved from the outset: razor-sharp, long-lasting cutting edge, high rust resistance, 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 checkpoints. Particularly sharp thanks to the Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) laser-controlled sharpening process. Final hand finishing by experienced Wüsthof specialists provides extraordinary sharpness and fast, simple 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, ensuring 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, 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.
• Hand guard – the ergonomic 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, 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 fruit such as pumpkin. The difference compared with a conventional 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 – air pockets form in the blade's recesses during cutting. The positive effect is that thin or soft foods release more easily from the blade during use and do not stick.
• Butcher's knife – this characteristic new knife is perfectly suited to portioning meat and cuts large fruit and vegetables effortlessly. This special design model is an extremely artistic creation in forged steel.
