Invest in a Long-Lasting Knife Set
With a history covering just about two centuries, Wusthof still provides people with well-made kitchen knives and shears, pocket knives, and other accessories. Operating in Solingen, Germany, the company is still run by the original family and presently employs over 350 craftsmen, each of whom, one can surmise are invested in creating each Wusthof knife set as sharp as its standing.
Product Lines
The Wusthof knives are constructed through two methods – forging for the high-end line and stamping for the less expensive line. As a result, contingent on your bank account size, you could enjoy being the happy owner of a set of world-famous Wusthof knives although at different levels of sharpness.
The forged knives can be found in the Classic, Ikon, Classic Ikon, Le Cordon Bleu, Culinar, Grand Prix, and Grand Prix II lines while the stamped knives come from the Gourmet, Emeril, and Silverpoint lines. You will see a sharp difference between forged and stamped knives in every Wusthof knife product line, with experienced cooks opting for forged knives all the time for their chef’s knives. Stamped knives are normally only good for steak and paring knives.
Regardless of which Wusthof knives set you choose to get, though, every one of their knives are an amalgam of 15 percent chromium, 0.5 percent carbon, and a small amount of molybdenum. Together with the manufacturer’s logo – a trident in a circle against a red background – the knives are distinctive from thier competitors’ wares.
Advantages
While we’re trying to avoid sounding like a spokesperson for Wusthof, those knives have been proven time and again to be one of the best blades in the business. Proof of this statement is Wusthof knives are the number one blade of celebrity chefs including Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver and James Martin, and furthermore being routinely voted among the the most valuable knives by Consumer Reports and Cook’s Illustrated.
For amateur chefs, the non-slip traditional handle lends itself nicely to many hand sizes and therefore helps many in the family to feel competent working with the knives in a Wusthof set. Of course, these knife blades are particularly sharp and just about never rust, stain or require sharpening. More than the user-friendly aspects, high-quality craftsmanship and materials are the primary characteristics of a quality knife.
Disadvantages
The main feature that might turn off the hobby chef from buying a Wusthof knife set would be its expensive price. Considering the most affordable set of low-end Gourmet paring knives costs around $35, you can locate many knife brands with more knives while charging similar prices. For the the more expensive collections, $300 is peanuts.
Also, Wusthof makes sets that have thinner-than-usual handles such as the Wusthof Classic. Obviously, men are more sensitive to this situation on account of their larger hands. Furthermore, some do not care for a stainless steel handle, but instead favor the polypropylene type.
For the most part, Wusthof knife sets will give substantial product for any price. It performs very nicely and efficiently the way that all high-quality knives should, performs for a long time as Wusthof has done, and looks very professional while it rests on your countertop. With a product such as this, you might want to purchase one more set as a gift for newlyweds.
