Traditional know-how and modern technology
The blades of these knives are made of stainless steel. They are resistant to corrosion and have a Rockwell hardness of 58HRC. Incidentally, each knife is also forged from a single solid piece of steel, which is one of the reasons why Wusthof is so well known. So you get durable and very resistant knives.
The handle is made from a synthetic material known as polyoxymethylene (POM). This material is designed to be comfortable in the hand while offering maximum strength. In addition, the handles are also fitted with three rivets that give the knife unparalleled robustness.
Wusthof also uses a laser-assisted sharpening process: PEtec technology. This technique enables Wüsthof to produce high-quality blades that retain their sharpness for longer and are easier to sharpen and maintain. Every knife therefore has perfect cutting properties.
It should also be noted that all knives and utensils in the Classic series undergo quality controls to ensure that they are not harmful to health. An international organization called NSF is responsible for certifying the products.
