The new WÜSTHOF technology offers superior sharpness!
The latest cutting tests carried out by the FGW (Forschungsgemeinschaft Werkzeuge und Werkstoffe eV, a German research, tool and materials association based in Remscheid) confirm that WÜSTHOF forged knives offer the best quality when compared to other well-known, single-ply brands . The extensive tests were carried out in accordance with DIN EN ISO 8442-5. WÜSTHOF knives have a higher ICP (initial cutting performance) and maintain it for an extremely long period of time (TCC = Total Card Cut). Compared with the winners of the "chef's knife" category awarded by the German consumer organization "Stiftung Warentest" in its first edition in 2008, the WÜSTHOF forged knives with the new PEtec technology produce a better result of around 20%. The technology: The blades are measured with a laser before sharpening. Computer programs calculate the exact sharpening angle for each blade. The knives are then sharpened with whetstones using precision robots. Finally, the knives receive their final finish using a special disc. The advantages:
Extremely high initial cutting performance.
Cutting maintenance for an exceptionally long period / long blade life.
Optimal cut over the entire length of the blade.
Unique, consistently high and reproducible quality.
