Wusthof Knife

The artisans who make every Wusthof Knife have a recipe for success, and it's not a secret.

They start by precision forging every knife from their own high carbon, no-stain steel alloy: X50 Cr Mo 15; which is surgical steel with .5% carbon, 15% chromium, and Molybdenum.

Over 200 talented crafts-people then cooperate during the 40 major steps required to grind, shape, heat treat, assemble, polish, sharpen, and inspect each knife.

Their goal is perfection, and every Wusthof Knife is truly elegant.

The bolsters of Wusthof knives are shaped and proportioned so that the heel of the blade will not abrade the fingers, and to provide leverage points for the thumb and index finger.

The handles are available in classic and modern ergonomic styles, designed to provide a comfortable, natural grip that makes the knife feel like an extension of the hand.

Every blade is hand honed and laser inspected, and the blade shape of every model is optimized for it's specific task.

Some are serrated, some are flexible, and almost all are made with a slight 'belly' that allows the cutting edge to be rocked back and forth.

Gourmet Series

The 'Gourmet' Wusthof Knife series was created for price-conscious shoppers.
