Inspired by farm-to-table cooking, the Craftsman is a hybrid design combining the features of a chef's knife, curved boning knife, and slicing knife. Forged from a single piece of high-carbon, stain-free steel, its blade is sharpened by WÜSTHOF's proprietary PEtec (Precision Edge Technology), which ensures a 20% sharper blade with twice the edge retention. A wide belly helps for rocking cuts, the clip-point tip facilitates easy maneuvering around joints for de-boning and filleting, and the hollow-edge design allows for smooth, precise carving and slicing.

Formulated for Optimal Sharpness

At WÜSTHOF's production factory in Solingen, Germany, forged knives are meticulously crafted through a process involving over fifty-four manufacturing steps. This process seamlessly blends innovative technology with the time-honored traditions of hand-made artisanship.

Each knife is:

Made from WÜSTHOF Steel, our proprietary blend of German steel is the optimal formula for durability fulfilling the strict requirements of an optimal 58° Rockwell.

20% sharper than your average knife thanks to our laser-assisted sharpening process.
