Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional: the classic kitchen tool series, with more than 70 different blade shapes (blade lengths 6-36 cm), stands out for ease of use and is the right tool for home cooking and for professionals. Blade forged from a single piece of stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel, 58 HRC hardness, 29° edge angle. This special high-carbon, corrosion-resistant alloy ensures that the key 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 control points. Particularly sharp thanks to the Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) laser-controlled sharpening process. The final hand finishing by Wüsthof's experienced specialists ensures extraordinary sharpness and quick, easy cutting.
The handle panels are comfortable and durable, made from polyoxymethylene (POM), which has a denser molecular structure to resist fading and discolouration. The full bolster protects the hand and ensures safety and balanced weight distribution. The sturdy handle panels are triple-riveted for durability.
Wüsthof technology offers outstanding sharpness: very high initial cutting performance, exceptionally long edge retention, a long blade life, an optimal cutting edge along the full length of the blade, and consistently high, reproducible quality.
Wüsthof Classic series is certified by NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) for public health and food safety.
• Hand guard – The ergonomic knife handle sits 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 is balanced.
• 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 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, precise work.
• Ribbed blade – When 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 characteristic new knife is perfectly suited to portioning meat and effortlessly cuts large fruit and vegetables. This specially designed model is an extremely artistic creation in forged steel.
