Product Details


WÜSTHOF knives have been manufactured in the city of Solingen, Germany since 1814. The company, which is still run by the founding family, takes quality very seriously – which explains why their knives consistently feature in 'best of' lists. This WÜSTHOF Classic Asian Utility Knife features a uniquely curved straight-edge blade that works for low rocking cuts requiring moderate heft and precise balance, as well as for closer hand work that demands a razor-sharp edge and outstanding agility. The pointed tip is useful for detail work as well. It's the ideal size and shape for numerous food prep tasks and ingredients, including small- and medium-sized fruits, vegetables, and cheeses. It's also handy for trimming meats and poultry.

Why we love it

'In a Western-style knife, the weight of a blade does a lot of work, especially when cutting tough ingredients (meat with bones, swedes, or pineapples, for example). WÜSTHOF has mastered the balance between the weight of the blade and the handle, on top of having sharp and durable blades with excellent edge retention. The result is knives that are comfortable to hold and easy to control.'

About The Brand

Wusthof

For over 200 hundred years, the Wusthof has manufactured their knives in Solingen, Germany, known as the ‘City of Blades’. What started as a metalsmith making scissors in a cellar during the Napoleonic Wars is now an internationally recognized name for high-quality European blades. The company, which is still family-owned, produces no less than 1200 knives and kitchen accessories that vary in style and price range, but are consistent in high quality.

We love that they employ the most up-to-date procedures throughout the entire production process, consisting of:

  • Measuring the blades before sharpening using lasers
  • Calculating via computers the precise sharpening angle for each blade
  • Sharpening the blades on a whetstone using precision robots
  • Special final polishing of all blades using a special disc

If strict quality standards are not achieved, the knife is not approved for sale. That’s why Wusthof’s trident logo symbolises their three core values of passion, diligence, and perfection.
