WÜSTHOF :: Precision-Forged, Full-Tang Cutlery

Founded in 1814, WÜSTHOF is a 7th generation, family-owned and managed company with a rich heritage crafting superior quality knives. All WÜSTHOF knives are made in the company’s headquarters in Solingen, Germany, the “city of blades” that is known for maintaining the highest standards for cutlery craftsmanship.

WÜSTHOF’s precision-forged, full-tang cutlery collections, such as new LEGENDE, new X-LINE, best-selling CLASSIC, CLASSIC IKON, GRAND PRIX II, and EPICURE, feature the company’s exclusive Precision Edge Technology (PEtec). This patented advancement increases blade sharpness to 14 degrees per side for a total of 28 degrees (10 per side on Asian-style blades for a total of 20 degrees), and increases edge retention for twice as long.

GOURMET, WÜSTHOF’s popular laser-stamped collection, features a wide assortment of well-crafted knives at moderate prices. All GOURMET knives that are 4-inches in length and longer are full-tang.
New for this year, and originally created for commercial kitchens, the PRO series offers highly affordable, top performing stamped cutlery with high-carbon, stain-free steel blades and unique, ergonomically shaped, soft-poly handles.

Offered exclusively at Williams-Sonoma, new LEGENDE combines beauty with brawn in  a precision-forged, full-tang knife collection distinguished by its svelte and curved, pebble-textured black handle, which lightens the look of pro-style knives without compromising on performance. Available this month at stores nationwide, X-LINE, designed by award-winning industrial designer Nick Thompkins, features slightly oversized blades, and a dynamic “X” design at the crossroads of the blade and modern, squared-off handle.

Also new this year are several sets and items in CLASSIC and CLASSIC IKON, such as the 2-Piece Extra Wide Chef Set (available in both collections), the CLASSIC 4.5-inch Artisan Knife and Board Set, the CLASSIC 6-inch Hollow Edge Curved Boning Knife, the CLASSIC 3.5-inch Clip-Point Paring Knife and the CLASSIC IKON 6-inch Salad Knife.
