💎 What Makes WÜSTHOF Classic So Special?
Each Classic knife is precision forged from a single billet of high-carbon stainless steel using WÜSTHOF's renowned steel blend: X50 CrMoV15. This guarantees a knife that holds its edge, resists staining, and maintains top performance through years of use.
Steel Breakdown:
-
X = Stainless Steel
-
50 = 0.5% Carbon for sharpness
-
Cr = Chromium (15%) for corrosion resistance
-
Mo = Molybdenum for strength
-
V = Vanadium for edge durability
Combined with a triple-riveted synthetic handle and full tang, each knife in the Classic line offers unbeatable balance, comfort, and hygiene 🧼.
🛠️ Why Choose Forged?
Unlike mass-produced stamped knives, WÜSTHOF’s forged knives are hand-shaped under high heat, resulting in blades that are denser, more durable, and better balanced ⚖️. The extended tang adds weight and stability, making cutting smoother and more controlled.
Elevate your everyday prep with the WÜSTHOF Classic Bread Knife—a go-to blade for perfect slices every time. Whether you’re slicing warm sourdough or prepping a tomato tart, this knife delivers consistent results and a premium feel 🔥.
