Think of the cook's knife as the hero of your kitchen – an all-rounder in food preparation that supports the widest range of kitchen tasks. A great cook's knife makes slicing and dicing a pleasure, which is one reason 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 for extra durability; and a full bolster for optimal balance and safety. The Wüsthof Classic cook's knife is the ideal companion for any kitchen.
Ideal for cutting cabbage, fish, fruit, herbs, meat and vegetables.
Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional – the classic kitchen knife series, which includes more than 70 different blade shapes (blade lengths 6–36 cm), 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, 58 HRC hardness, with a 29° edge angle. This special, high-carbon, corrosion-resistant alloy ensures that the critical properties of every Wüsthof knife are preserved 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 made Classic knife passes more than 20 uncompromising quality checks. Particularly sharp thanks to Precision Edge Technology (PEtec), a laser-guided sharpening process. The final hand-finishing by experienced Wüsthof specialists provides exceptional sharpness and quick, 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, optimal cutting edge along the full length of the blade, and unique, consistently high and reproducible quality.
The Wüsthof Classic series is NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certified for public health and food safety.
• 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, balancing the blade.
• Precision double-serrated edge – The bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts hard crust 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 and precise work easier.
• Fluted blade – When cutting, small air pockets form in 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 – The characteristic new knife is perfectly suited to portioning meat and easily cuts large fruit and vegetables without effort. This specially designed model is an extremely artistic creation forged from steel.
