Collection: Wüsthof Classic

The Wüsthof Classic range at Hospitality Connect covers 55 lines, including cooks knives, kitchen knives, carving and slicing knives, paring knives, santoku knives and bread knives. Knife sets and knife block sets are listed alongside individual knives.

A cooks knife has a curved belly that supports a rocking cut and is usually longer. A santoku has a shorter, flatter blade with a rounded tip, designed for a straight downward chop rather than a rocking motion.

Choose the longest blade you can control comfortably on your usual board. A shorter cooks knife is easier to handle and suits smaller benches, while a longer blade covers more product per stroke and speeds up volume prep work.

A bread knife has a long serrated edge that saws through hard crust without compressing the soft crumb underneath. A straight edged knife pushes down instead of cutting through the crust, which tears the loaf and flattens the slice.

A knife set or block set suits a kitchen being fitted out from scratch, because it covers the core shapes in one purchase. Individual knives suit established kitchens replacing worn blades or adding one specific shape to an existing kit.
