Wüsthof Classic White series
The Classic knife series with white handles adds a special touch to the kitchen. With refined simplicity and striking elegance, these durable knives offer everything needed to prepare and serve fresh food. They are perfectly balanced, comfortable to hold, and allow ingredients for any dish to be prepared with easy control.
Robust, sharp and functional – the classic kitchen knife series, which stands out for its ease of use, and is the right tool for every home cook and professional.
Forged from a single piece of stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel, 58 HRC hardness. 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 checks. Particularly sharp thanks to Precision Edge Technology (PEtec), a laser-guided sharpening process. The final hand-finishing by experienced Wüsthof specialists provides exceptional sharpness and quick, easy cutting.
The handle panels are made of comfortable, durable synthetic material, 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, optimal cutting edge along the full length of the blade, and unique, consistently high and reproducible quality.
Made entirely in Solingen, Germany.
The Wüsthof Classic series is NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certified for public health and food safety.
• Full bolster – The full finger guard reliably protects the fingers during everyday cooking, and the balance makes quick and precise work easier.
• Full tang – The blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability for the knife. It also acts as a counterweight, balancing the blade.
• 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 secured with stainless steel rivets.
• Fluted blade – When cutting, small air pockets form in the recesses of the blade. This means thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick to it.
• Precision double-serrated edge – The bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts hard crust as easily as soft bread or large fruit such as pumpkin. The difference compared with a conventional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
