A comprehensive knife set from W¨¹STHOF’s Classic range, featuring seven German knives, a carving fork, a honing steel, kitchen scissors and a knife block. —DETAILS— W¨¹STHOF knives have been manufactured in the city of Solingen, Germany since 1814. The company, which is still run by the founding family, takes quality very seriously C which explains why their knives consistently feature in ‘best of’ lists. Every knife in the Classic range is fully forged from a single piece of stainless steel so it has a full tang, which allows for excellent blade-to-handle balance. The high-carbon blade undergoes a process in which the steel¡¯s molecular structure is realigned to be stronger and more robust, honed twice by hand and once by laser to ensure a perfect finish. This laser finish is the result of a proprietary technology called PEtec, which makes blades 20% sharper, with double the edge retention. The traditional riveted handle features a full bolster and finger guard, aiding the proper knife technique in which your thumb and forefinger grip the blade (‘pinch grip’). This set, featuring W¨¹STHOF Classic knives, is suitable for both professional and home use. It includes: A chef’s knife (20cm) A carving knife (20cm) A bread knife (20cm) A carving fork (16cm) A serrated utility knife (14cm) A peeling knife (7cm) A paring knife (10cm) A honing steel (23cm) A pair of kitchen scissors An ash wood knife block —BENEFITS— ‘In a Western-style knife, the weight of a blade does a lot of work, especially when cutting tough ingredients (meat with bones, swedes, or pineapples, for example). W¨¹STHOF has mastered the balance between the weight of the blade and the handle, on top of having sharp and durable blades with excellent edge retention. The result is knives that are comfortable to hold and easy to control.’
