The Wüsthof Classic chef's knife is the ideal addition to any kitchen. Ideal for cutting cabbage, fish, fruit, herbs, meat and vegetables.

Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional – the classic kitchen tool series contains more than 70 different blade shapes (6–36 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, 58 HRC, 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 outset: 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 points. Particularly sharp thanks to the Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) laser-controlled sharpening process. The final hand finishing by Wüsthof's experienced specialists gives exceptional sharpness and fast, easy cutting. The handle panels are made of comfortable, 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 sturdy 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 sturdy 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, balancing the knife.
• 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 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, precise work easier.
• Fluted blade – Small air pockets form at the hollows of the blade when cutting. This means thin or soft foods are easier to release from the blade and do not stick.
• Butcher's knife – This distinctive new knife is perfectly suited to portioning meat and easily cuts large fruit and vegetables without effort. This specially designed model is an exceptional work of art made from forged steel.
