Know before you buy
These knives feature a straight edge. This design allows them to glide through proteins cleanly without tearing the fibers of the meat, providing a much smoother cut than serrated alternatives.
The knives must be hand-washed and dried immediately after use. Because the handles are made of natural smoked oak, they should never be placed in the dishwasher, as the heat and moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack.
Full tang construction means the steel extends from the tip of the blade all the way through the end of the handle. This provides superior balance, weight, and structural integrity, ensuring the knife feels sturdy and secure in your hand during use.
Thanks to Wüsthof’s Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) and a 58-degree HRC tempering, these blades offer twice the edge retention of standard knives. While they stay sharp significantly longer, you should still use a honing steel regularly to maintain the edge alignment.
No, these are precision-forged steak knives designed specifically for slicing cooked meats. Using them on bone, frozen items, or hard surfaces can chip the high-carbon steel blade.
