Further manufacturer information:
Smaller than a chef's knife but larger than a chopping knife, the Wüsthof Classic household knife is the perfect blade for countless tasks. Think of it as a slightly longer, equally versatile chopping knife, suitable for chopping spring onions, onions, herbs, young vegetables and smaller pieces of meat.
Ideal for cutting fruit, ham, meat, roast, dry or semi-dry sausage and vegetables.

Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional: the classic kitchen tool series includes more than 70 different blade shapes (6 to 36 cm blade lengths) and stands out for ease of use. It 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 retained from the start: razor-sharp, long-lasting cutting edge, high rust resistance and an 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 checkpoints. Particularly sharp thanks to the Precision Edge technology (PEtec) laser-controlled sharpening process. The final hand-finishing by experienced Wüsthof specialists gives extreme 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 has NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certification for public health and food safety.
• Hand guard: the ergonomic knife grip fits well in the hand, and the curved handle end prevents slipping. The robust 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, ensuring the blade's balance.
• Double-serrated precision edge: the bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts a hard crust as easily as soft bread or large fruit 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.
• Fluted 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 fruit and vegetables. This specially designed model is an extremely artistic creation made from forged steel.
