Wüsthof Gourmet series

Agile and versatile. Gourmet blades are precision laser-cut from X50CrMoV15 stainless steel sheet and then processed in 35 production steps. The edge is ground to a 28° angle, and final finishing done by hand by skilled craftsmen gives exceptional sharpness and fast, easy cutting. With a very high hardness of 56 HRC, they compare with forged knives in quality and sharpness. Their lower weight and unique ergonomics make them very comfortable to hold, extremely well balanced and strong; they make cutting easier and are gentler on both the hand and the wrist. The handle, made of a special black synthetic material, is triple-riveted. The knives are dishwasher-safe and therefore highly hygienic. The Gourmet series offers excellent value for money and, with more than 40 different products, is just as useful for home kitchens as a starter set or as basic equipment for a professional kitchen. The Wüsthof Gourmet series is certified by NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) for public health and food safety.

• Hand guard: the ergonomic handle fits the hand well and the curved butt prevents slipping. The robust handle scales are fixed with stainless steel rivets.
