This Japanese knife is perfect for finely slicing a variety of food in the kitchen. The blade has a length of 17 cm and has a firm, comfortable handle. Compared to a European chef’s knife, the blade is wider, thinner, and not as pointed. The dimples in the blade also stop food sticking to the knife.

Wusthof Gourmet Knives

The Wusthof Gourmet series is one of the most extensive collections. This series includes a range of chef’s knives, meat knives, fish knives, a Santoku knife, as well as the necessary accessories to complete your kitchen equipment.

The knives from this German brand Wusthof are made of one piece of high-quality chrome-molybdenum-vanadium steel. This steel grate has a hardness of 56/58 Rockwell. This guarantees long-lasting sharpness and can be easily sharpened.

The handles from the Wusthof Gourmet collection also have a tear-shaped handle. This shape has a pleasant feeling in the hand and ensures a good grip. The three stainless steel rivets also keep the handle firmly and seamlessly attached to the knife.

Wusthof Knife Storage

Storing shape knives loosely in the kitchen drawer is asking for trouble. Not only is it dangerous, but doing so will damage the cutting edge of the blade. To ensure your knives lasts a long time, it is recommended to use a knife block or hang them on a knife magnet. This will keep your knives within easy reach and safer. If you still want to store your knives in a kitchen drawer, then we advise using a knife protector.

Maintenance for Wusthof Knives

Even though Wusthof knives are dishwasher safe, we would advise against doing this. This is because the residue from the dishwasher may make the knives blunt and cause oxidation. We recommend hand washing the knives immediately after use with warm soapy water. You can also run them under a hot tap. Dry immediately after cleaning to avoid oxidation spots forming on the blade. This will keep the quality of your Wusthof knives high and guarantee a long lifespan. We also have a range of Wusthof accessories that will help maintain your knives.
