Wüsthof Gourmet series
Agile and versatile. Gourmet knife blades are laser-cut from stainless X50CrMoV15 steel sheet, then processed in 35 production stages. The edge is ground to a 28° edge angle, and the final hand-finishing by specialists provides extreme sharpness and fast, easy cutting. Thanks to their very high hardness of 56 HRC, they are comparable in quality and sharpness to forged knives. Their low weight and unique ergonomics make them very comfortable to hold, extremely balanced and strong, making cutting easier on both hand and wrist. The special black plastic handle is triple-riveted. Dishwasher safe, and therefore extremely hygienic. The Gourmet series offers an excellent price-performance ratio and, with more than 40 different products, is as useful for home households as a starter set or the basic equipment of a professional kitchen.
The Wüsthof Gourmet series is NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certified 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 sturdy handle panels are secured with stainless steel rivets.
• Tomato knife – The finely serrated edge of the tomato knife cuts smoothly through firm tomato skin, while the split tip lifts the slices. The knife is also useful for cheese and fruit.
• Decorating knife – The special blade for decorative cutting of raw and cooked fruit and vegetables, or for finely portioning butter, is ideal for creative cooks.
• Full tang – The blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability for the knife. It also acts as a counterweight, balancing the blade.
• Wavy edge – The inside-formed wavy edge gives a clean cut and is suitable for large fruits, vegetables or roasts. With its wide, long blade, it is excellent for bread and cakes.
