Prepare Better Food with a High Quality 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, Wusthof remains in the hands of family members and currently employs in excess of 350 employees, each of whom, we could surmise are committed to making every Wusthof knife set as sharp as its standing.
Product Lines
The Wusthof knives are produced through two methods – forging for their high-end line and stamping for their more affordable line. As a result, conditional to your budget, you can become the proud owner of a set of renowned Wusthof knives but possibly at assorted levels of sharpness.
The forged knives are used for the Classic, Ikon, Classic Ikon, Le Cordon Bleu, Culinar, Grand Prix, and Grand Prix II lines but the stamped knives are available in the Gourmet, Emeril, and Silverpoint lines. There is a solid difference between forged and stamped blades in any expensive knife collection, with experienced cooks opting for forged knives nearly every time to be used as their chef’s knives. Stamped knives are normally only good for steak and paring knives.
Whatever Wusthof knives set you select, though, each of these knives are made of 15 percent chromium, 0.5 percent carbon, and a small amount of molybdenum. Adding this to the company logo – a trident in a circle against a red background – the knives are easily distinguished from thier competitors’ knives.
Advantages
At the risk of sounding like a spokesperson for Wusthof, their knives have been proven time and again to be one of the highest quality blades on the market. Confirmation of this statement is Wusthof knives are the preferred cutting tool of celebrity chefs like Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver and James Martin, in addition to being routinely judged to be the top-rated knives by Consumer Reports and Cook’s Illustrated.
For amateur chefs, the non-slip traditional handle is suited well to various hand sizes so consequently allows many family members to feel comfortable using the knives in a Wusthof set. Naturally, these knife blades are extremely sharp and practically never rust, stain or lose their edge. More than the user-friendly aspects, top-notch construction and materials are the main traits of a quality knife.
Disadvantages
The primary feature that could discourage the amatuer from investing in a Wusthof knife set could be the expensive price. Considering the most affordable set of low-end Gourmet paring knives is priced at $35, you can find different knife brands offering more knives for the same prices. For the the more expensive collections, $300 is peanuts.
Also, Wusthof makes sets that have thinner-than-normal handles like the Wusthof Classic. Naturally, men are more concerned with this situation thanks to their more substantial hands. And of course, a few do not prefer a stainless steel handle, preferring instead the polypropylene type.
By and large, Wusthof knife sets can offer more product for any price. It slices very nicely and precisely the way that all high-quality knives should, performs for a long time as this manufacturer has done, and appears very professional sitting on your countertop. With a knife set such as this, you might wish to buy another set as a gift for a new chef.
