Robust, sharp and functional: the classic kitchen tool series, which contains 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 all home cooking and professionals alike. Forged from a single piece of stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel, 58 HRC hardness blade, with a 29° edge angle. This special, high-carbon, corrosion-resistant alloy ensures that the critical properties of every Wüsthof knife are retained from the start: razor-sharp, long-lasting cutting edge, high rust resistance and an edge that is easy to restore. Made in 55 refined manufacturing steps, from forging through hardening and sharpening to polishing, and every perfectly made Classic knife passes more than 20 uncompromising quality control checkpoints. The Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) laser-controlled sharpening process makes it especially sharp. Final work done by hand by Wüsthof's experienced specialists gives extreme sharpness and fast, simple cutting.The handle panels are made of comfortable, durable synthetic material, polyoxymethylene (POM), which has a more compact molecular structure to resist fading and discolouration. The full bolster protects the hand, ensuring safety and balanced weight distribution. The sturdy 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 full 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 end of the handle prevents slipping. The sturdy handle panels are fixed with stainless steel rivets.
• Full tang - The blade runs the full length of the handle, providing reliable stability for the knife. It also acts as a counterweight, balancing the blade.
• Precision double serrated edge - The bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts hard crusts as easily as soft bread, or large fruit such as pumpkin. The difference compared with traditional serrated edges is immediately noticeable.
• Full bolster - The full finger guard reliably protects the fingers during everyday cooking, and the balance makes work quick and precise.
• Ribbed blade - When cutting, small air pockets form at 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.
• Butcher's knife - This distinctive new knife is ideal for portioning meat and easily cuts large fruit and vegetables without effort. This specially designed model is an extremely artistic creation made of forged steel.
