Wüsthof Knives in the Modern Kitchen
In every well-equipped kitchen, the right knife isn’t just a tool—it’s a trusted companion. For those who value performance, elegance, and lasting quality, Wüsthof knives offer the perfect balance. Renowned for their precision forging and iconic German craftsmanship, they’ve earned a place in both professional and home kitchens around the world.
Available at Cassandra’s Kitchen, each piece is designed to deliver accuracy, comfort, and durability, turning everyday prep into an elevated culinary experience.
Wüsthof: A Legacy of Quality & Expertise
Founded in Solingen, Germany in 1814, Wüsthof has stood as a symbol of knife-making excellence for over two centuries. The company remains family-owned and operates production facilities and R&D labs in the renowned “City of Blades,” where many of its 400‑plus employees work diligently to craft the finely balanced tools chefs rely on.
Wüsthof knives are meticulously precision-forged using high-carbon stainless steel—typically the X50CrMoV15 alloy—ensuring durability, edge retention, and exceptional sharpness. Their rolled-edge technology, known as PEtec (Precision Edge Technology), sharpens each blade consistently to an optimal angle of 14° per side, epitomizing modern manufacturing combined with artisan finish.

Wüsthof Knives – Frequently Asked Questions
1. How should I care for my Wüsthof knives?
Hand-wash with warm water and mild soap, then dry immediately. Avoid dishwashers, as heat and detergents can damage the blade and handle.
2. How often should I sharpen my Wüsthof knives?
Hone your knives regularly to maintain the edge. For sharpening, once or twice a year is usually enough depending on use.
3. What’s the difference between honing and sharpening?
Honing realigns the blade edge for daily sharpness. Sharpening removes metal to restore a dull blade.
4. Can Wüsthof knives cut through bones or frozen foods?
They’re not designed for bones or frozen items. Use a cleaver or specialty tool instead to protect the blade.
5. How should I store my Wüsthof knives?
