These specialty knives from Wusthof are defined by their unique, hook-shaped blades that pierce and slice elegant filet mignons as well as thick pork chops and other meats. They're part of the Classic series, a harmonious blend of precision cutting performance, integrity of materials, safety and comfort. Prized possessions of professional chefs, Wusthof knives are an invaluable asset in any kitchen. Made in Solingen, Germany, each cutting utensil is hand-forged by skilled craftsmen following a 38-step manufacturing process. The high-carbon stainless steel blades are hardened to maintain a sharp edge for exact and precise cutting. Full tangs provide perfect balance while the high-impact composition handles are triple-riveted for added durability.
