Find the Perfect Wusthof Chef Knife for Yourself or Another

The Wusthof chef knife has a storied reputation, just as the 200-year-old company itself does; professional chefs the world over, including those who've racked up many Michelin stars such as Gordon Ramsay, rely on Wusthof chef knives to get them through service night after night. The good news: you don't have to work in a professional kitchen to be able to enjoy professional quality, or to gift it to that special someone in your life who loves to cook. At House of Knives, we make it easy to find the Wusthof knife set perfect for your purposes. Let's start by answering an important question: what should you know before you buy?

A Short Buyer's Guide to the Wusthof Classic Line

One of the most well-respected product lines in the culinary world, the Wusthof Classic represents decades of refinement and craftsmanship. Made from a robust steel alloy that allows the knife to maintain a sharper edge for a more extended period, it's not hard to see why knives are so popular. Here's how you can find one for yourself:

• Choose the blade shape and width most appropriate for your purposes. Those with smaller hands may prefer a shorter blade, as it will be easier to control. For those who need the broadest range of functionality, however, a longer blade will be the right choice. 
• Learn how to grip a chef knife properly. You can practice with an old knife if you have one handy. Before you invest in a high-end knife, make sure you know how to make the most of its abilities. 

These quick tips may be just the start of your journey. If you find that you have additional questions or concerns, the House of Knives customer support team is here to help. 

Problems A Wusthof Knife Sharpener Can Help You to Address 

It's an unfortunate fact of life: even the sharpest, most well-honed blades will eventually lose their edge. How can you prolong the time between professional sharpenings to save money and increase the value of your investment? Consider the problems you can solve with one of the sharpeners we make available:

• Losing your edge between meals. Every use of your knife will dull the blade slightly, taking off the sharpest edge. Using a sharpener just before you begin to prep gives you the best cutting ability possible. 
• Save money on sharpening. Regularly using a home sharpener helps you avoid overspending on services you may not necessarily need. 
• Prevent kitchen accidents. When you do not have to use excessive force to cut through vegetables or meats, you lower the risk of cutting yourself. 

With the right sharpening tools and their appropriate use, your Wusthof Classic Ikon knives will continue to help you make fabulous meals for years.
