Tough polypropylene handles with full, visible tangs and
the traditional three rivets distinguish Classic knives from
Wüsthof's other cutlery lines. Otherwise Classic knives are
identical to other Wüsthof knives, embodying all the virtues that
have earned the German manufacturer world renown. The principal
parts of a Wüsthof --blade, bolster, and tang--are forged
from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, and the blade
is precisely tapered from bolster to tip and from back to
hand-honed edge. The blades and beautifully formed bolsters are
not as thick as on some knives. As a result, despite their heft,
strength, and durability, Wüsthof knives are pleasingly delicate
and marvelously balanced in action.
This set equips a serious cook with nearly every cutting edge
imaginable--there are 14 kitchen knives and eight 4-1/2-inch
steak knives--plus a 10-inch sharpening steel to keep their edges
aligned, tough kitchen shears, a 6-inch serving fork, and a
25-slot oak block to store everything on the counter within
reach. The kitchen knives include a 2-3/4-inch peeling , a
3-1/2-inch paring , a 4-1/2-inch utility , a 5-inch
tomato , a 5-inch boning , a 9-inch bread , a
6-inch sandwich , a 7-inch flexible fillet , a 5-inch
cook's , a 6-inch cook's , an 8-inch cook's , a
10-inch cook's , an 8-inch carving , and a 6-inch
cleaver. These knives should be hand washed. --Fred Brack

From the Manufacturer
---------------------
With over 70 styles (and growing), Wusthof's aptly named
Classic Series of precision forged knives is by far the world's
largest. With a size and shape available for any cutting task,
it's no wonder that professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts
the world over look to Wusthof for all their cutlery needs.
The Blade Shape
Each Wusthof blade is designed for specific task. For example,
the cooks (or chef's) s primary duty is chopping and
dicing. The curved edge--the belly of the --is designed from
the tip to the heel to facilitate that task by rolling smoothly.
The Edge
The edge of every Wusthof is the "business end."
Skillfully honed by hand, it's incredibly sharp. The edge is
laser-tested to perfection, long-lasting, and easily resharpened.
The Blade
Computer-controlled grinding and polishing procedures result in
precise tapering from bolster to tip and from back to edge.
The High-Carbon Steel
Every Wusthof is precision-forged from a single blank of
the same high-carbon, stain-resistant steel. Therefore, each
blade from each Wusthof line is the same--perfectly balanced,
finished, and sharp. The Wusthof steel formula, etched on every
blade, has evolved over years as the optimum high carbon- and
stain-resistant alloy for edge retention and resharpening. The
blades and tangs are constructed of high-carbon no-stain steel,
which has evolved over the years as the most perfect alloy for
superior making.
The Bolster/Finger Guard
Wusthof's signature bolster accounts for the heft--the solid,
balanced feel accled by professional chefs throughout the
world.
The Handle/Tang Assembly
A seamless, totally hygienic fit could only be achieved with
incredibly durable Hostaform-C handles, triple-riveted to the
fully visible tang of the Classic series. Completely buffed and
polished by hand, the slightest imperfection means the will
never leave the factory.
Choosing a Wusthof or Set
Wusthof designs and manufactures each and every precision-forged
Wusthof so that, regardless of the size, shape or product
family, the heft of the is properly proportioned.
There are distinctive visual differences between the Wusthof
Classic, Grand Prix and Culinar lines. From a construction
standpoint, every is precision-forged from a single blank
of the same high-carbon, stain-resistant steel. It is only the
handle assembly that varies from line to live. All Wusthof
Classic, Grand Prix and Culinar Collections blades are balanced,
finished, and sharp. You can choose the optimum size and style
for every cutting task in your kitchen.
Getting a Grip
Do not be intimidated by the size of some Wusthof knives, such
as the chef's . The 8-inch Classic chef's should be
grasped lightly and cradled in the palm. The thumb and forefinger
provide the control in what is commonly referred to as "the blade
grip."
Note that with this grip, almost one half of the handIe is not
in contact with your hand at all. This is where you will feel and
understand the benefits of the heft and balance of the .
Now secure in your hand, the precision forged cook's is
poised for action. An extension of your arm, the is
designed to work safely, smoothly, and efficiently with you, not
against you.
Sharpening/Honing Technique
Regular maintenance of your Wusthof knives insures a lifetime of
cooking pleasure. With regular use any 's edge will lose its
"bite". Under high magnification, you would see that the cutting
edge itself actually consists of rows of tiny "teeth" that must
be periodically realigned for optimum cutting performance.
The key to using a honing steel is holding the blade at a
consistent 20-degree angle as you simulate the motion of the
blade "shaving" off the surface of the honing steel itself. The
"tip down" method works best because you can see the contact
point of the and the steel.
At some point, any quality will require professional
sharpening performed on equipment not always available for home
use.
