💎 What Makes WÜSTHOF Classic Stand Out?

Each knife in the Classic line is hand-forged from a single billet of high-carbon stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting edge retention and exceptional sharpness. The X50 CrMoV15 steel formula delivers top-tier performance:

• X = Stainless Steel

• 50 = 0.5% Carbon for a razor-sharp edge

• Cr = 15% Chromium for corrosion resistance

• Mo = Molybdenum for strength

• V = Vanadium for edge durability

The synthetic black handle is resistant to wear and designed for hygiene and comfort, making this a kitchen essential you’ll reach for again and again 🧼.

🛠️ Why Choose Forged?

Forged knives like this one undergo extreme heat and shaping to form a denser, stronger blade. The result? A knife with superior balance, control, and cutting power compared to stamped alternatives ⚖️.

Make mess-free slicing a part of your kitchen routine with the WÜSTHOF Classic Double Serrated Bread Knife—a high-performance blade that blends tradition, innovation, and German precision✨.

Care of Knives

Honing and Sharpening 

Honing or sharpening depends on whether your knife has lost its sharpness or if it is really blunt. A blade's loss of sharpness can be treated using a honing steel. For dull, blunt knives, use a sharpener. To ensure a beautifully sharp blade, we recommend you hone your knives regularly, after each use.  Regular honing prevents blades from deteriorating quickly.

Cleaning

Clean your knives right after use. Thoroughly wash your blades with a non-abrasive sponge or brush, then dry immediately afterwards. Use warm soapy water. Always carefully dry your knives with the blade facing away from you to prevent unintentional injuries. While Wusthof knives are suitable to clean in the dishwasher, we recommend you hand wash only to prolong the life of your blades. Dishwashers can cause your blades to rub against objects during the cycle, causing the blades to deteriorate.  

Proper Storage

Proper storage of your knives and accessories ensures they will last for a very long time. There are three ways we recommend storing your knives and honing steels; knife blocks, magnetic bar holders, and special cases and space saving rolls. Knife blocks help your knives to sit beautifully on your counter top, while keeping them close at hand. Magnetic bars safely hold your knives and provide space. Special cases and space saving rolls allow you to easily transport your knives without causing damage or harm. Make sure your knives are completely dry before storing to protect the quality of the cutlery and accessories.
