Chefs, both pros and us at home love the Wusthof Classic knife style because it's so easy to use.The secret is its balance and, of course, extreme sharpness.
- You can see the impressive German engineering in this forged knife.
- Crafted with a special stainless steel alloy to help knives retain a sharp edge longer.
- The metal that forms the blade extends to the end of the handle. It is called a full tang and adds strength and durability.
- A well-designed bolster, or hand guard, acts as a protective divider between your hand and the sharp blade.
- 30% sharper and will last 40% longer than ever before, thanks to the latest Wusthof Precision Edge Technology, PEtec. This knife has an extra sharp 28 degree angle.

- MetroKitchen.com recommends washing your knives by hand; then immediately drying them. Do not let your knives soak in water.
- Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts. They may stain the surface of your knives.
- Always use a wooden cutting board to preserve blade sharpness. Cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass quickly dulls blades.
- To maintain a sharper cutting edge, use a sharpening steel, preferably each time after you've used a knife.
- It's best to store your Wusthof knife so its edge and your fingers are protected, preferably in a block or in-drawer knife tray.
- We suggest using a meat cleaver when you need to cut through bone, otherwise you can damage your knife blade.
