For many professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts, Wusthof Classic knives, is the Cadillac of kitchen knives. This is due to the knives' distinct features like having the right amount of heft, a blade that is a cut above the rest, a bolster that gives good balance, and a very comfortable handle. The Wusthof Classic knives blade is forged from a single stainless steel. Initially the blade may be duller than what you may have thought, but expect this with Wusthof knives. You can sharpen them to your satisfaction and the result will not only be a very sharp blade but also one that stays such for a long time. It also features a bolster which enables users to have a firm grip on the knife with the thumb and index finger in front of the bolster. This grip allows precise chopping, dicing, and slicing. The handle is ergonomically triple-riveted and slip resistant. This why most people are very comfortable when holding the handle. A maintenance tip about knives is not to put it in a automatic dishwasher. It is also important to keep them in a knife block or in knife cover when not in use.
