Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional: the classic kitchen tool range, which contains more than 70 different blade shapes (6–36 cm blade length), stands out for ease of use and is the right tool for every home cook and professional. 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 remain from the start: razor-sharp, long-lasting cutting edge, high rust resistance, easily restored edge. 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. Especially sharp thanks to the Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) laser-controlled sharpening process. The final hand finishing by Wüsthof's experienced specialists provides extreme sharpness and quick, easy cutting. The comfortable, durable synthetic handle scales are made of polyoxymethylene (POM), which has a denser molecular structure to resist fading and discolouration. The full bolster protects the hand, ensuring safety and a balanced weight distribution. The sturdy handle scales are triple-riveted for durability. Wüsthof technology offers outstanding sharpness: extremely high initial cutting performance, exceptionally long edge retention, 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) certification for public health and food safety.
• Hand guard: the ergonomic knife handle fits well in the hand, and the curved handle end prevents slipping. The sturdy handle scales are secured with stainless steel rivets.
• Full tang: the blade runs the full length of the handle, providing reliable stability. 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 just as easily as soft bread, or large fruit such as pumpkin. The difference compared with conventional 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 blade's indentations. 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 perfectly suited for portioning meat and effortlessly cuts large fruit and vegetables. This special design is an extremely artistic creation in forged steel.
