Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional – the classic kitchen tool series, containing more than 70 different blade shapes (6-36 cm blade length), stands out for ease of use and is the right tool for all home cooking and professionals. Forged from a single piece of stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel, 58 HRC hardness blade, 29° edge angle. This special high-carbon, corrosion-resistant alloy ensures that the critical properties of every Wüsthof knife are retained 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 control points. Particularly sharp thanks to the laser-guided Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) sharpening process. The final hand work by experienced Wüsthof specialists delivers exceptional sharpness and quick, easy cutting.
Handle panels are comfortable and 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, a long blade service life, an optimal cutting edge along the full length of the blade, and consistently high, reproducible quality.
The Wüsthof Classic series holds NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certification.
• Hand guard – The ergonomic knife grip fits well in the hand, and the curved handle end prevents slipping. The robust handle panels are secured with stainless steel rivets.
• Full tang – The blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability. It also acts as a counterweight, ensuring the balance of the blade.
• 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 traditional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• Full bolster – The full finger guard reliably protects the fingers during everyday cooking, and the balance makes quick, precise work easier.
• Ribbed blade – When cutting, small air pockets form in the recesses of the blade. The positive effect: thin or soft foods can be removed more easily from the blade during use and do not stick.
• Meat knife – The distinctive new knife is ideally suited for portioning meat and effortlessly cuts large fruit and vegetables. This specially designed model is an extremely artistic creation made of forged steel.
