As part of Wusthof's Gourmet collection, each knife features a special blend of
high-carbon German stainless steel throughout the whole length of the knife for
exceptional strength and balance. Typical stamped knives are punched out like a cookie cutter. Wusthof Gourmet knives are Laser Cut. This intricate manufacturing process is superior to other "cookie cutter" methods as it is more precise and leaves the knives with less distortion. The Gourmet knives use the same steel that is used in our other more expensive knives. Wusthof uses a special blend of German steel through out the whole length of the knife. The ingredients of this steel are proudly etched on each blade. Wusthof not only uses the best materials to make a fine knife, but it is also crucial that each blade is precisely tempered. This tempering allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet can be maintained in your home kitchen with out the need to be sent away for maintenance. Each blade is laser tested to ensure a precise and even cutting angle. Another thoughtful detail
includes the handles, which come riveted and ergonomically designed for a
secure, comfortable grip.
