Chef's & Cook's Knives From Wusthof

View All Wusthof

Wusthof is known the world over for its precision-forged knives intended for professional chefs and home cooking enthusiasts alike. The Company was founded in 1814 and has been family owned and operated for seven generations. Wusthof’s knives are produced in a highly controlled 38-step process in its state-of-the-art production facilities located in Solingen, Germany, a region long famous for producing some of the best blades in the world. Wusthof’s blades are hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength. The hand-polished blade is exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when it's honed or sharpened.

Among the most frequently used pieces of cutlery in the kitchen, a high-performance chef’s knife is a necessity for everything from chopping vegetables to mincing fresh herbs. The front portion of the blade is suitable for many small cutting jobs, the mid section can be used for firm or soft food and the blade’s curved design is ideal for mincing. The knife’s weight distribution allows for optimal balance to increase efficiency while reducing fatigue. Adding to the blade’s function is the wide flat surface that is suitable for flattening and shaping of meat cuts such as fillet as well as for lifting of the chopped product.
