Wüsthof Gourmet series
Agile and versatile. Gourmet knife blades are laser-cut from stainless X50CrMoV15 steel sheet and then processed in 35 production stages. The edge is shaped to a 28° edge angle; the final work done by hand by specialists provides extraordinary sharpness and quick, easy cutting. Thanks to their very high hardness of 56 HRC they are comparable in quality and sharpness to forged knives. Their lower weight and unique ergonomics make them very comfortable to hold, highly balanced and strong, making cutting easier for both hand and wrist. The special black plastic handle has triple riveting. Dishwasher safe and therefore highly hygienic. The Gourmet series offers excellent value for money and, with more than 40 different products, is as useful in domestic households as a starter set or as essential equipment in a professional kitchen.
The Wüsthof Gourmet 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 end of the handle prevents slipping. The robust handle panels are fixed with stainless steel rivets.
• Tomato knife – The tomato knife's finely serrated edge cuts smoothly through firm tomato skin, while the split tip lifts the slices. The knife can also be used well for cheese and fruit.
• Garnishing knife – A special blade for decorative cutting of raw and cooked fruit and vegetables, or for finely portioning butter; ideal for creative chefs.
• Full tang – The blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability for the knife. It also provides balance as a counterweight.
• Wavy edge – The internally formed wavy edge gives clean cuts and suits large fruit, vegetables or roasts. With its wide, long blade it is excellent for bread and cakes.
