Wüsthof Amici kitchen knives

Wüsthof knives with efficient blades

The blades of these Wüsthof knives are made of X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, a robust alloy of chromium and carbon that is highly resistant to impact and corrosion. These are full tang blades forged from a single piece of steel heated to high temperature, then shaped with a press. This technique requires meticulous skill on the part of the blacksmith to give them perfect balance. On the Rockwell scale, they have a hardness of 58HRC, making them easy to keep sharp with a Sharpening stone. The Wüsthof Amici range features quality blades that are smooth and other kitchen knives that are serrated to make all kinds of cuts on various foods. Chop your meat with the santoku knife, slice your vegetables with the chef's knife or perform precision work with the paring knife!

Top-of-the-range knives with an Italian flair

Wüsthof Amici handles are made from olive wood, renowned for its long life. So your kitchen knife has a long life ahead of it! The wood's high density makes it resistant to liquids and unpleasant odors, and its anti-bacterial properties are much appreciated in the kitchen! The olive tree used by Wüsthof originates from Calabria in Italy, and comes from a sustainable farm whose trees produce little or no fruit due to their advanced age. The handles are ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip and optimum maneuverability, especially during long periods of use. They feature 2 rivets that hold the blade securely in place in the handle and guarantee reliability. They're easy to maintain: a littlemaintenance oil or mineral oil is all you need to restore your bread knife to its youthful glory!
