Wüsthof Amici series

Forged in Germany, inspired by Italy: every Amici knife is a tribute to Wüsthof's collaboration with Castello di Serragiumenta, a 16th-century castle in the Calabrian countryside. Inspired by the sun-drenched landscape and fertile land of Calabria in Italy, Wüsthof Amici embodies "la dolce vita", the joy of life. The Amici series combines iconic, precision-forged blades with uniquely textured Calabrian olive wood handles, blending modern craftsmanship with Italian design sensibility to create the ideal knife for preparing and sharing food. Benvenuti Amici.

Unique blades

Amici blades are forged from a single piece of Wüsthof steel at the company's factory in Solingen, Germany. The special stainless steel, precisely shaped in Wüsthof's forge, is extremely hard, durable and rust-resistant. Every blade is finished by hand by experienced master knifemakers to make it perfect for everyday use.

Calabrian olive wood

Every Amici knife is unique thanks to the distinctive grain of its olive wood handle. Calabrian olive wood grows slowly; its extremely durable wood is naturally water-repellent and antibacterial. The sustainably sourced wood comes mainly from olive trees that, because of their age, bear little or no fruit.
