Wüsthof technology offers outstanding sharpness: extremely high initial cutting performance, exceptionally long edge retention, long blade life, optimal cutting edge along the entire length of the blade, unique, consistently high and reproducible quality. The Wüsthof Classic series is certified by the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) for public health and food safety.

• Handguard - The ergonomic knife handle fits well in the hand and the curved handle tip prevents slipping. The robust handle panels are secured with stainless steel rivets.

• Full tang - The blade reaches the entire length of the handle, providing reliable stability for the knife. In addition, it acts as a counterweight to ensure the blade is balanced.

• Precision double-serrated edge - The bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts through hard crusts as easily as soft bread or large fruits such as pumpkins. The difference compared to a conventional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.

• Full bakni - The full finger guard reliably protects your fingers during everyday cooking, and the balance facilitates fast and precise work.

• Ribbed blade - When cutting, small air pockets form in the recesses of the blade. The positive effect of this is that thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick to it.

• Butcher knife - The distinctive new knife is perfect for portioning meat and cuts large fruits and vegetables effortlessly. The specially designed model is a highly artistic creation made of forged steel.
