Frequently Asked Questions
How are Wüsthof knives made?
Construction varies by collection. Most Wüsthof knives are forged from a single piece of German steel and sharpened with the manufacturer’s laser-controlled Precision Edge Technology. Wüsthof Gourmet blades are laser cut from sheets of steel, providing a lighter and more economical alternative to forged models.
How should Wüsthof knives be cleaned and stored?
Hand wash Wüsthof knives with mild detergent and towel dry them. Store clean knives in a knife block, protective sheath, in-drawer tray, or suitable magnetic holder to protect their edges and keep them accessible.
Do Wüsthof knife sets include blocks?
Most Wüsthof sets consist only of knives or other utensils. Sets without blocks may be a better option for kitchens that already have an established cutlery storage system.
How often should Wüsthof knives be honed and sharpened?
Wüsthof knives should be regularly honed based on how frequently they're used. In busy commercial kitchens, knives may need to be honed after every few uses to realign the edge. The blade should be sharpened when honing no longer restores its cutting ability; Wüsthof recommends using a compatible sharpening steel, whetstone, or manual or electric sharpener.
