Made in Solingen We value the heritage and identity of a place known for centuries as “The City of Blades." We believe that quality knives can only be made where high-precision production meets traditional craftsmanship. 40 steps in the WÜSTHOF knife production process. It takes forty steps to turn a piece of WÜSTHOF steel – a special mixture of chrome, vanadium, molybdenum, and stainless steel – into a quality knife. When this level of intuition, experienced artisanship, and seasoned eyes are required, we turn to our 400 employees who know how to craft truly exceptional premium knives.
