Other Knives
Material Premium forged steel engineered for lasting strength and corrosion resistance. Often stamped or made from standard steel blends that may sacrifice durability or rust resistance.
Sharpness 20% sharper than standard knives, thanks to laser-guided PEtec technology. Factory-sharpened blades that start strong but dull faster and lack precision honing.
Craftsmanship Hand-finished in Solingen, Germany with 200+ years of expertise and precision in every detail. Mass-produced or partially outsourced craftsmanship that lacks the same heritage and consistency.
Corrosion Resistance
 Exceptional rust resistance for a blade that stays beautiful for decades. Prone to staining or rust if not carefully maintained—especially with frequent kitchen use.
Edge Retention Stays sharper twice as long as ordinary knives, reducing the need to re-sharpen. Edges wear faster over time, requiring more frequent sharpening and touch-ups.
Limited Lifetime Warranty Limited lifetime warranty – a promise backed by generations of quality. Lifetime coverage may exist, but with less transparency and variable service depending on the brand.

Questions? We Have Answers

What sets WÜSTHOF knives apart from other brands?

WÜSTHOF is one of the few brands permitted to use the label “Made in Solingen” on our knives rather than the less restricted “Made in Germany.” Solingen, Germany is the steel manufacturing capital of the world and, as such, needed to take precautionary measures against fraudulent products bearing the prestigious name, “Solingen.” In 1938, Solingen became the only city in the world whose name is a registered trademark. To bear the name Solingen, all key manufacturing stages must have been processed and finished within Solingen, and the product must meet strict quality standards. This means that even cutlery manufactured entirely within Solingen’s town boundary may not be entitled to bear the name Solingen if it does not meet these required quality standards.

Some of our competitors use the label “Made in Germany,” which does not carry the same significance. We have the honor of labeling our products “Made in Solingen.”

What is Precision Edge Technology (PEtec)

WÜSTHOF’s proprietary state-of-the-art technology incorporates a computer-controlled method for putting the edge on forged knives. Using laser-guided precision, our knives are 20% sharper with twice the edge retention. All forged knives are manufactured using PEtec.

What do the numbers printed on my blade mean?

The number etched on your blade indicates the year it was made — just add “20” in front of it.

In some cases, you might see a second number, which shows the blade length in centimeters.

There is no item number printed on the blade.

Examples:

• “25” means the blade was made in 2025.

• “22 / 20” means the blade was made in 2022 and is 20 cm long.

What is the difference between forged and laser-cut stamped knives?

Forged knives go through over 40 steps in our factory to create the top quality blades WÜSTHOF has to offer. Forged knives include a bolster, which helps to balance the knife. Laser-cut stamped blades go through 14 steps in our factory, and are more economically priced. They are lighter in weight, and do not have a bolster.

What are the most important knives to start a set?

The most important knife in any kitchen is the chef’s knife, and after that, it depends on your own personal preferences when cooking.

How do I keep my knives sharp?

WÜSTHOF knives can be honed and sharpened using a hand-held sharpener, an electric sharpener, a sharpening or honing steel, or a whetstone. We recommend using the same brand sharpener as your knife collection, to ensure that the material used is the correct hardness for the steel on your knives. Our sharpening angle for standard blades is 14˚ per side, and for Asian-style blades (Santokus, Nakiris) is 10˚ per side. We offer a variety of sharpening products with pre-set angles.

Warranty return

"Appreciate lifetime warranty and honoting the warranty. The product had served us well for many rears. Appreciate your courteous attention."

Very nice 17 slots

"Very nice 17 slots"

Quality block!

"Quality block!"

— Chris H. (5/5)

Nice wood , I like

"Nice wood , I like being able to have steak knives in one block. Would buy again ."

— joann b. (5/5)

Nice looking knife block

"I’ve already got two nice blocks from Wusthof. This block feels light in weight, which was surprising, compared to the other two I had from before, which are very heavy. The reason being this knife block, although it says walnut, it is actually walnut wood only on the outside. Inside the core of this block is another would probably pinewood. I wasn’t aware of that based on my prior blocks from the same brand. If I knew this, I would have not probably bought it."

— svjetlan b. (3/5)

Not great

"Good looking wood and seems solid but we received a block with poor stain on the corners and scratches in a few places. We returned and ordered another and it had similar issues."

— Derick F. (2/5)

"Quality!!"

— Robert (5/5)

"Nice block but had to return it due to my knives being too large. Could only fit half my steak knives"

— Ryan (3/5)

I love it! It is

"I love it! It is exactly what I was looking for! It seems to be really well made."

— Jolayne L. (5/5)

Beautiful

"Replaced our old block with this one. Different wood and stain. Just beautiful. Will add, though, that you must be cautious when inserting knives and shears; if you poke the wood at all, it will leave a mark. Must be the stain color. This happens frequently when replacing the shears into their slot."

— REBECCA C. (4/5)

Q&A

1. What is the max length of the bread knife slot 2. what is the max length of steak knife blade slots
The slot below the honing steel will accommodate a 10" bread knife. The steak knife slots are deep enough for a 5" steak knife. For further questions, please contact our Sales Support Team directly at info@wusthof.com
Can you engrave the block? I’d love to have one with my last name.
Hi Rob, Thank you for your interest in our knife block. Unfortunately, we don't offer engraving at this time, but we love that idea and will pass it along to our product development team! Thank you.
