Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional: the classic kitchen tool series includes more than 70 different blade shapes (blade lengths 6–36 cm), stands out for its ease of use, and is the right tool for all home cooking and professionals alike. Single-piece forged stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel blade with 58 HRC hardness and a 29° edge angle. This special high-carbon, corrosion-resistant alloy ensures that all critical properties of every Wüsthof knife are preserved from the start: 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 passes more than 20 uncompromising quality control points for every perfectly made Classic knife. Particularly sharp thanks to the Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) laser-controlled sharpening process. The final work, done by hand by Wüsthof's experienced specialists, provides exceptional sharpness and fast, easy cutting.
The handle panels are made of comfortable, durable synthetic polyoxymethylene (POM), which has a denser molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. The full bolster protects the hand, ensuring safety and even 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, optimal cutting edge along the full length of the blade, and consistently high and reproducible quality.
The Wüsthof Classic series has NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) public health and food safety certification.
• Hand guard: the ergonomic handle fits well in the hand, and the curved handle end prevents slipping. The sturdy handle panels are fixed with stainless steel rivets.
• Full tang: the blade runs through the handle, giving reliable stability to the knife. It also ensures balance as a counterweight to 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 a traditional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• Full bolster: the full finger guard reliably protects the fingers during everyday cooking, and the balance enables fast and precise work.
• Grooved blade: small air pockets form in the hollows of the blade while cutting. The positive effect is that thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick.
• Butcher's knife: this distinctive new knife is perfect for portioning meat and effortlessly cuts large fruits and vegetables. The specially designed model is an extremely artistic creation made of forged steel.
