Wüsthof Gourmet series
Agile and versatile. Gourmet knife blades are laser-cut from X50CrMoV15 stainless steel sheet and then processed in 35 production stages. The edge is shaped to a 28° edge angle; the final work carried out by hand by specialists provides extraordinary sharpness and quick, easy cutting. Thanks to their very high 56 HRC hardness 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 for 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 it is as useful for domestic 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.
• Bolster - The ergonomic knife handle fits well in the hand, and the curved end of the handle prevents slipping. The sturdy handle panels are fixed with stainless steel rivets.
• Tomato knife - The tomato knife's finely serrated edge cuts smoothly through the firm tomato skin, while the split tip lifts the slices. The knife can also be used well for cheese and fruit.
• Decorating knife - A special blade for the 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 to the blade.
