Wusthof is one of the most renowned names in the world of chefs knives. It is a German company and it has been in the industry of cutlery making for more than a century. The knives that they manufacture are thick and heavy in the German style and are well known for the kind of wear and tear that they can withstand in the kitchen. The blades are made of high carbon stainless-steel which is easy to sharpen. Their knives have always been looked upon as a traditional favorite of professional chefs.

Wusthof was established in Solingen in Germany in 1814. Since then, it is considered as one of the world's leading manufacturers of forged cutlery. They manufacture high-end cutting tools. They are precision-forged from a single blank of high carbon steel with incredibly sharp, specially polished edges. The knives have distinctively lighter bolsters that are more agile, so the fatigue produced with the repetitive motions associated with dicing, peeling or chopping is reduced to an incredible extent.

The handles have no seams, so they don’t attract food particles or juices, making them completely hygienic, and are triple-riveted for added strength. You can see some of the most preferred models described below.
The Wusthof Classic Chef Knife is one of their fast-selling products. It is the standard 8 inches, single piece construction for maximum strength, balance and heft. This piece costs around $129.
The forged cook’s knife, which measures about 9-inches, has a rounded blade to get a back-and-forth rocking motion necessary when chopping onions or mincing fresh herbs. The long blade covers a large surface so you can slice, mince or chop more at once. It costs around $150 and it's a multi-purpose knife made for daily use.
You can also get packages at a cheap rate, which is quite a bargain. The Wusthof Classic 3 piece chef’s set consists of an 8 inch cook’s knife, 6 inch sandwich knife, and 3.5 inch paring knife at an incredible rate of around $260.
Lots of discounts and offers are also available through specific dealers and merchants for all these products.
