Family owned for seven generations, WÜSTHOF was founded in Solingen, Germany over 200 years ago. With the world's widest blade selection, the Classic series is timelessly iconic, delivering professional-grade quality at an accessible price point. Since 1886, Classic has been the choice of food enthusiasts and professionals alike, delivering unmatched performance and reliability. Forged from a single block of High Carbon Stainless Steel and tempered to 58-degree HRC, WÜSTHOF's Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) yields a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention than previous models. The 14° blade angle on each side offers superior sharpness, and the triple-riveted POM handles offer lasting durability and comfort with a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. The Trident logo on the handle is permanent and wear-resistant too. If you want an investment piece that will stand the test of time and perform flawlessly, Classic is for you.

Best kitchen knife I’ve owned!

I love everything about this knife! The feel in hand is amazing. The edges of the handle are smooth where I want it and grips in the right places. The blade is slightly weighted toward the handle, which makes me feel like I have better control. The construction is absolutely master-class. I couldn’t be happier!

Replacement Knife

Loved my original knife which actually split on its own. This was a warranty issue, Not sure how it happened, but I wish someone had an idea and informed me what they think happened. Received my replacement knife worked like the first one and I was totally satisfied with your warranty process.

Good Knife - NOT the same as the Classic

This is a good knife. It felt "off" in my hand. I've been using the Wusthof classic 8" style knives since 1986. This one with the white handle was labeled "classic" but laying over another knife, the angle front the heel to the tang is different. The tip to but is about 3/8" longer, & the scales are longer and wider than my old knives. It's still got the full heel like my other classics... But after +/- 40 years, I can tell this one is NOT on spec. I'm sure I'll get used to it. but it's not going 1st in my rotation for sure. I won't buy another one "site unseen" from now on. This has NEVER been an issue in the past. One reason I don't use Henkle is because of these types of variations. I'm dissappointed.

The 8" Chef's knife is

The 8" Chef's knife is much better than any knife i have had in 50 years of cooking. I had no idea a knife could cut all vegetables so easily.

Coral Perfection

This knife is an absolute stunner out of the box and magnificently sharp. Great for slicing and chopping an extremely broad amount of foods. Blade seems to be standing up well to hard everyday work in a busy kitchen environment. Coming with instructions on how to polish the brass rivets as well is a plus. The handle is solid and has a lovely weight to it, giving more precision on your board. Can't love it enough and already saving up for several complimentary Wusthof knives for career.
