🛠️ Why Forged Steel Makes All the Difference

WÜSTHOF knives are hand-forged from X50 CrMoV15 steel, a premium German alloy known for its exceptional sharpness and edge retention. Each blade undergoes a precise heat-treatment and tempering process, giving it the strength and durability needed for everyday and professional kitchens alike.

Steel Composition Breakdown:

• X = Stainless Steel

• 50 = 0.5% Carbon – For sharper, longer-lasting edges

• Cr = Chromium (15%) – Corrosion and stain resistance

• Mo = Molybdenum – Adds toughness and strength

• V = Vanadium – Improves edge retention and hardness

Whether you're prepping weeknight dinners or hosting holiday feasts, the WÜSTHOF Classic Ikon Chef’s Knife is the go-to tool you’ll reach for again and again 🔪✨.
