Full details

FAQs

Can I put this knife in the dishwasher?

No, it is highly recommended to hand wash your Wüsthof knife to protect the blade's edge and the handle material.

How often should I sharpen the wavy edge?

Due to the unique shape, the wavy edge holds its sharpness longer than a straight edge; however, it should be serviced by a professional sharpener when you notice increased resistance.

What is the Rockwell hardness of this blade?

The blade is tempered to 58 Rockwell, offering an ideal balance between edge retention and durability.

Is this knife made in Germany?

Yes, every Wüsthof Classic knife is precision manufactured in Solingen, Germany.

Can I use this to cut through bone?

No, this knife is designed for slicing; using it on bone or frozen foods can damage the blade and compromise the integrity of the edge.

Troubleshooting

The knife feels dull when cutting bread.

Ensure you are using a drawing motion rather than pressing straight down, and check if the blade needs a professional sharpening service.

Water spots or light surface marks appear on the blade.

Clean the blade with a soft cloth and a specialized stainless steel cleaner, then ensure the knife is dried completely after every wash.

The handle feels loose after heavy use.

Check the rivets for any debris. If the handle remains loose, contact a professional cutlery service as the full-tang design should remain secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This knife requires minimal setup as it arrives sharpened and ready for immediate use. To maintain its performance, always store the knife in a wooden knife block or on a magnetic strip to prevent the edge from dulling against other cutlery. While the materials are durable, it is strongly recommended to wash the knife by hand using warm water and a mild detergent immediately after use; dry it thoroughly before storage to prevent corrosion. Avoid using glass, ceramic, or stone cutting boards, as these surfaces will cause premature dulling of the edge. For maintenance, a professional honing or occasional professional sharpening is recommended to ensure the edge remains in peak condition.
