The paring knife has the ideal size for quickly and easily peeling vegetables and fruits, as well as slicing them. Its precision allows for great control and it is also used for carving and creating décor and garnishes.
Paring Knife
Bread Knife
The bread knife is ideal for all crusty foods, as its serrated blade allows the knife to penetrate the outer crust without breaking it. It has a long length and can be used on all foods with a hard outer surface, even on sweets.
Filleting Knife
The filleting knife is designed to offer precision and ease of use. The long, thin blade of the knife is extremely flexible to cut your meat or fish without resistance and help you prepare fish fillets easily & quickly in seconds. Ideal for cutting fish such as salmon, swordfish, trout, as well as any type of meat.
Chef Knife
The chef's knife is the favorite knife of every professional and amateur cook, and not without reason. It perhaps has the most uses of any other kitchen knife, as you can use it to cut large portions, chop or slice everything from vegetables and fruits to meat and fish. Its wide blade and curved edge make it ideal for quick chopping through the well-known rocking motion. The thickness of the blade at the spine is enough to give you the weight and power you need, while its length covers a wide range of daily tasks.
Sharpening Steel
Helps to realign the edge of the knife, straightening the metal fibers that have bent during the cutting process.
Blade Material
The blade is made from a single piece of surgical steel containing chromium-molybdenum-vanadium (X50 Cr MoV 15).
X50 Cr MoV 15 is a widely used steel in many kitchen knives, and its composition includes approximately 0.5% carbon (X50), which provides hardness to the knife edge, and approximately 15% chromium (Cr), which gives corrosion resistance.
Additionally, it contains a small percentage of molybdenum (Mo) and vanadium (V), which offer improved wear resistance and edge retention.
The Wusthof knife is designed to provide reliable cutting performance and long-lasting durability.
The blade hardness is rated at 58 (±1) HRC (a knife with hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).
Handle
The handle is made from a material called Polyacetal Copolymer F20-03 BKF, also known as POM (Polyoxymethylene). POM is a type of plastic widely used for making knife handles and is known for its durability, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance. The three rivets on the handle of the knife contribute to increased stability and control during use.
Cutting board
It is recommended to make cuts on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable as they can cause permanent damage to the knife blades.
Cleaning
Wash the knife with warm water before using it for the first time. After each use, make sure to wash the knife without delay (with a simple detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you must wash the knife immediately after use.
For your safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from the edge, with a cloth or towel.
It is not recommended to wash it in the dishwasher but by hand, in order to protect its material and maintain its sharpness for a long time.
Sharpening
You can tell if your knife cuts well with an easy test using the knife and a sheet of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut a sheet of paper. Conversely, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and its cut will be jagged.
It is also recommended to have your knives sharpened by a professional occasionally, to repair any possible damage to the blade's edge and to maintain its sharpness.
