<< Back to Kitchen Essentials WüSTHOF
Manufacturers of forged knives since 1814, WüSTHOF produces complete lines of excellent knives guaranteed to last a lifetime. Made in Solingen, Germany, their knives are precision forged from a single blank of high carbon, no-stain steel. Blades are laser-controlled and tested, also hand-honed twice before passing inspection, so you know the fine edges are sharp. Handles are made from high impact synthetic, beautifully crafted, with a smooth fit naturally balancing in the cook's hand - a pleasure to use.

Among the vast WüSTHOF selection are classic Chef's knives, Santoku knives and scores of specialty knives for different preparations including boning, fileting, peeling and paring, for slicing tomatoes, cheese, sausages, fish, beef, steaks, roasts and bread.



Culinar Utility Knife is a "sculpture in stainless" with a pronounced serrated 5-inch blade, it's
a true multi-purpose knife. If you travel a lot, make this A Travel Essential. It will become one of your favorites.








Experts in crafting filet and boning knives, WüSTHOF makes two really great knives for this purpose. The Flexible Filet Knife with 6-inch blade helps you make paper-thin slices for Italian carpaccio dishes and Asian stir-frying, lovely thin scallopine, and provides reliable assistance for basic at-home butchering preparations.







Look at that thin, curvy 7-inch blade on WüSTHOF's Thin Filet Knife! It gets as close to the bone as possible, into tiny crevices, and gives you control like no other filet knife can give, with almost surgical precision. It's as good in the kitchen as out of it when fishing or hunting...For perfect boning and flawless fileting every time, this is one knife to add to your collection. Exquisite.







Their Panini Knife with deep serrated 8-inch blade smoothly slices through Italian panini, focaccia, Reuben, stacked club and deli sandwiches, delicate PB&J, Cuban Pork and Vietnamese Banh Mi Baguettes with ease. Also great for artisan breads, it effortlessly slices through thick crispy crusts without crushing the soft interiors. (With that in mind, I tried it on ripe grapefruit and hard Kabocha squash to test the points...cuts like a breeze!) Don't under-estimate the value of this knife - My panini look so much better when cut with WüSTHOF's Panini Knife because the bread retains its height rather than being squished from the pressure of slicing and the filling remains plump and luscious with picture-perfect presentation.





Come-Apart Kitchen Shears - What a great idea! With bone notch and non-slip poly handles, these shears split apart making them very easy to clean, easy to sharpen. Use them for cutting fresh herbs, fresh vegetables, trimming fish and poultry, a myriad of uses.
