Think of the chef's knife as the hero of your kitchen – an all-rounder in food preparation that supports the widest range of kitchen tasks. A great chef's knife makes slicing and dicing a pleasure, which is one of the reasons it is often the most used and most important kitchen tool for home cooks and professional chefs. The Classic series has been Wüsthof's best-selling collection for generations; its blades are precision-forged from a single piece of Wüsthof steel hardened to 58 Rockwell; stainless steel rivets provide extra durability; and a full bolster ensures optimal balance and safety. 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, which includes more than 70 different blade shapes (6–36 cm blade length), stands out for its ease of use, and is the right tool for every home cook and professional. Forged from a single piece of stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel, the 58 HRC blade has a 29° edge angle. This special, high-carbon, corrosion-resistant alloy ensures that the key properties of every Wüsthof knife are preserved from the start: 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 checks. Especially sharp thanks to the Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) laser-guided sharpening process. The final hand work by Wüsthof's experienced specialists provides extraordinary 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 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 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 robust handle panels are secured with stainless steel rivets.
• Full tang – The blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability for the knife. It also acts as a counterweight, ensuring the blade is balanced.
• 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 to a traditional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• Full bolster – The full finger guard reliably protects the fingers during everyday cooking, and the balance makes for quick and precise work.
• Textured blade – During cutting, small air pockets form in the recesses of the blade. This means thin or soft foods can be removed from the blade more easily during use and do not stick to it.
• 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 extremely artistic creation made of forged steel.
