Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional: the classic kitchen tool series, which includes more than 70 different blade shapes (blade lengths from 6 to 36 cm), stands out for ease of use, and is the right tool for every home cook and professional.
Single-piece forged stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel blade, 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 maintained from the outset: 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 manufactured Classic knife passes more than 20 uncompromising quality control points. The Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) laser-controlled sharpening process makes it especially sharp. The final work, done by hand by Wüsthof's experienced specialists, provides exceptional sharpness and quick, 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, a long blade lifespan, an optimal cutting edge along the entire length of the blade, and unique, consistently high and reproducible quality.
The Wüsthof Classic series holds NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certification 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 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, ensuring the blade is balanced.
• Precision double-serrated 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 work quick and precise.
• Hollow-edge blade – During cutting, small air pockets form at the hollows 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 to it.
• 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 exceptionally artistic creation in forged steel.
