Like all newer Wusthof cutlery, the ham slicer sports the advanced PEtec edge which is constructed using lasers, computers, and robots. Made in Solingen, Germany. Lifetime Wusthof Guarantee.

Why Choose a Forged Steel Knife?
Wusthof forged knives start with quality steel that undergoes extreme heat and hand molding to enhance the flexibility, density, and hardness of the blade. Forged knives are hand crafted and offer greater strength and durability as well as better balance, a heavier feel and lasting sharpness compared to stamped cutlery. The tang of a forged knife always extends into the handle to improve the balance and ergonomics.
