At WÜSTHOF, we believe that every knife we produce should stand the test of time. It’s rare for a knife to exist for decades and still be functional, but we’ve always oriented our company around using expertly sourced, high-quality materials that are built to last.

In honour of International Women’s Day, we spoke with some of WÜSTHOF’s leading women about their career accomplishments, inspirations, and the best advice they’ve ever received.

Find out which blades the Wüsthof family and friends have on hand in their own kitchens.

Join us as we travel through centuries of heritage, innovation, and adaptability, from the humble beginnings of Johann Abraham Wüsthof’s “Shears Factory, Steel, and Iron Works” to the seventh-generation leadership of Harald and Viola Wüsthof. Discover how this family business thrived through wars, challenges, and changing times, all while maintaining its commitment to craftsmanship.
