Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional – the classic kitchen tool series, which includes more than 70 different blade shapes (blade lengths from 6 to 36 cm), stands out for its ease of use and is the right tool for every home kitchen and for professionals. Blade forged from a single piece of stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel, 58 HRC hardness, with a 29° edge angle. This special, high-carbon, corrosion-resistant alloy ensures that the 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 every perfectly made Classic knife passes more than 20 uncompromising quality control points. Particularly sharp thanks to the Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) laser-controlled sharpening process. The final work, done by hand by experienced Wüsthof specialists, provides exceptional sharpness and quick, easy cutting.
Comfortable and durable synthetic handle panels made of polyoxymethylene (POM), which has a denser molecular structure to resist fading and discolouration. The full bolster protects the hand, ensuring safety and an even distribution of weight. The robust handle panels are triple-riveted for durability.
Wüsthof technology offers outstanding sharpness: extremely high initial cutting performance, exceptionally long edge retention, a long-lasting blade, an optimal cutting edge along the entire length of the blade, and unique, consistently high and reproducible quality.
The Wüsthof Classic 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 handle end prevents slipping. The robust handle panels are fixed with stainless steel rivets.
• Full tang – The blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability for the knife. It also provides balance of the blade as a counterweight.
• Precision double-serrated edge – The bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts a hard crust as easily as soft bread, or large fruits such as pumpkin. The difference compared with a conventional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• Full bolster – The full finger guard reliably protects the fingers during everyday cooking, and the balance makes quick and precise work easy.
• Ribbed blade – When cutting, small air pockets form in the recesses of the blade. The positive effect is that thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick to it.
• Butcher's knife – The distinctive new knife is perfect for portioning meat and effortlessly cuts large fruits and vegetables. This specially designed model is an extremely artistic creation made of forged steel.
