We’ll help you cut through the confusion!

Has your endless search for the right chef's knife become dull?

This **Wüsthof Classic chef's knife** is similar to the
'regular' Wüsthof Classic chef's knife 20 cm. The main difference
can be found in the height of the blade. For this chef's knife the blade is
extra high. This is great when you quickly need to cut
large amounts of food. Your finger tips are pointed inwards
to make sure only your knuckles can come into contact
with the blade of the knife. With it you namely determine the pace and
it also means that it becomes impossible
to cut yourself (as long as you make sure the knife remains straight).

## Wüsthof Classic blade: razor-sharp stainless steel


The blade made from chromium-vanadium steel (X50CrMoV15) is forged from one solid piece of steel. It is sharpened according to Wüsthof’s PEtec technology. This means that for each blade a sharpening angle is determined with the help of a computer. Afterwards it is precisely sharpened on a wet sharpening stone. After thorough inspection each knife leaves the production line, ready for a life of intensive use.


Wüsthof processes the steel in a specific way to make sure it has a high hardness of 58 Rockwell. As such the knife retains its sharpness for a really long time. However, if you notice that the knife is not as sharp as it used to be, all you have to do is move it over a honing steel. The result is a razor-sharp knife that is amazing to use.


## Wüsthof Classic handle: sustainable and hygienic


This knife is a combination of a forged blade and an ergonomic handle made from black POM, a very sustainable type of plastic. The handle can withstand all substances you find in the kitchen. The handle was traditionally and seamlessly riveted to the blade with three rivets. As such dirt can never accumulate in between the blade and the handle. The crop protects your fingers from unnecessary contact with the edge. What more could you possibly ask for?


## Wüsthof Classic: the classic Wüsthof collection


The Classic is the most extensive Wüsthof collection on the market today. It is comprised of over 80 different kitchen knives, amongst which different sizes of chef’s knives, bread knives and carving knives. Because this collection has the most versions of all possible knives, you can easily comprise your own perfect knife set. A knife set with a knife block of chef’s case is, of course, also an option.


Both amateur and professional chef’s love working with these kitchen knives. They are enhanced with the NSF hygiene mark.

My incredibly particular husband requested an all purpose kitchen knife for Christmas. I took a risk choosing one for him, but he was most delighted with this one. He said it was perfect! Very pleased with service and quality.

It's the definitive chef's knife. If you only have one, this should be it.
Good heavy spine, sturdy at the heel, slim at the tip and nicely balanced.
The bolster isn't for everyone, I understand but it's a classic design intended for cracking bones & I've never once felt compromised by it when sharpening or in use.
Value for money is exactly right, this is a knife for life.

The perfect Chefs knife, wide blade, sharpens easily and holds the edge, 
Ideal weight and balance the only knife I used for everything everyday during the last 20 years of my profesional kitchen work.

Ik kan en wil niet anders dan 10en toekennen aan dit product. Omdat zowel mijn echtgenote als ik zelf fervente kokers zijn hebben we uiteraard heel wat koksmessen. Mijn echtgenot verlangde reeds lang naar dit koksmes met een extra breed lemmet. Ik bestelde het voor haar, supersnelle levering, goede verpakking. Ik kreeg een ontroerde echtgenote aan de telefoon toen het pakje afgeleverd werd.Nog dezelfde dag heeft ze het mes gebruikt. Super. Het voldeed helemaal aan haar verwachtingen!

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

Way of sharpening

type_of_handle

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.

For the number of knives in the knife sets we stick to the information supplied by the manufacturer. Some brands consider the block to be part of the set, others don't.
