Further manufacturer information:
Wüsthof's precise double-serrated edge makes a clear difference in this bread knife: unlike the classic serrated edge, this knife has serrations within the serrated edge, which means it stays sharp for longer, requires less pressure and is suited to very precise, smooth cuts. Hard-crusted bread does not crumble when sliced with this double-serrated blade, while soft-crusted bread is also cut cleanly, without tearing the fine surface.
Ideal for slicing bread, rolls, cabbage, salad, pies, cakes and brassicas.
Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional – the classic kitchen tool series, which includes more than 70 different blade shapes (6 to 36 cm blade lengths), stands out for its ease of use and is the right tool for every home cook and professional. Single-piece forged stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel blade with 58 HRC hardness and a 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 manufactured Classic knife passes more than 20 uncompromising quality control points. Particularly sharp thanks to the laser-guided sharpening process of Precision Edge Technology (PEtec). The final hand-finishing by Wüsthof's experienced specialists provides extraordinary sharpness and fast, 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 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, long blade life, optimal cutting edge along the full length of the blade, and consistently high, 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 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 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 fruits 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.
• Corrugated blade – During 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.
• Butcher's knife – This distinctive new knife is perfectly suited to portioning meat and effortlessly cuts large fruits and vegetables. This specially designed model is an extraordinary piece of forged steel craftsmanship.
