The WÜSTHOF Way

Made in Solingen. Only in Solingen.

Known for centuries as the 'City of Blades', we treasure Solingen's heritage. We believe quality knives are forged where state-of-the-art technology meets traditional craftsmanship.

Our WÜSTHOF knives are crafted in over 54 steps from a single piece of special German steel. Heated to around 1,250°C, the steel is compressed and shaped in the drop forge, ensuring longevity. With proper care, our knives last a lifetime.

At WÜSTHOF, we blend expert craftsmanship with modern technology. The human hand and eye remain crucial in creating our unique quality.

A Family Tradition

Since 1814, WÜSTHOF has been family-owned and seven generations have perfected the art of knife-making. Today, cousins Harald Wüsthof and Viola Wüsthof continue this legacy, ensuring each knife reflects the family's passion for quality and precision.
