About Wüsthof®

As early as 1814, when the Americans were wrapping up their war with the British and putting away their weapons, a German family in the Duchy of Berg were creating weapons of another sort: quality, precision knives and cutlery.

Nearly two hundred years later, the Wüsthof family of Solingen, now in its seventh generation of ownership, are renowned around the world for crafting knives and other culinary tools, each of which are carefully designed to perform with perfection and ease. Their chef knives are the choice of professional chefs worldwide, and their wide range of knives for most every kitchen task imaginable, from boning and paring to make cooking a pleasure for cooks of all levels.

The more than two hundred styles of precision-forged knives go through thirty-eight separate manufacturing steps, from forging to tempering, grinding and polishing, to ensure that all Wüsthof products are made to the highest standards of quality. Each step along the way is performed to exacting standards by skilled workers, aided by the most modern computer guided equipment and powerful robots. That is how each Wüsthof knife is created, world famous for its unique, uncompromising quality.
