Wusthof Classic Series Knives

Every Wusthof Classic knife is forged from one piece of specially tempered high carbon steel to ensure outstanding strength, balance, and heft. The classic black handles are made from synthetic material that has been triple riveted to the full tang for a seamless and hygienic fit. Not only are these blades comfortable to hold, but the skillfully honed blades are also razor sharp and are easily re-sharpened to maintain a factory quality cutting edge.

Why Choose a Forged Steel Knife?

Wusthof forged knives start with quality steel that undergoes extreme heat and hand molding to enhance the flexibility, density, and hardness of the blade. Forged knives are hand crafted and offer greater strength and durability as well as better balance, a heavier feel and lasting sharpness compared to stamped cutlery. The tang of a forged knife always extends into the handle to improve the balance and ergonomics.
