Wusthof is recognized worldwide as a specialist in outstanding knives. Ambitious home cooks and professional chefs appreciate the first-class quality of forged Wusthof knives. Wusthof is a 7th generation family business since 1814 with production of its knives taking place in Solingen, Germany. More than 40 processes are involved in making Wusthof knives and strict quality checks throughout the entire production process guarantee a consistently outstanding level of quality. The double serrated edge of this knife guides the blade through tough crust without compressing the soft inside of the bread. The double serrated bread knife differs from a traditional edged bread knife because it contains an additional serration in between the teeth. This second serration never comes into contact with foods or cutting boards during use, which is what causes a blade to dull. With proper use, the double serration will never need to be sharpened. CLASSIC has been Wusthof's best-selling collection for generations. These full-tang knives are precision-forged from a single piece of an exclusive high-carbon stainless steel and feature a handle made of highly durable Polyoxymethylene, which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration.
