WÜSTHOF

After over 200 years, the company remains in family hands. They believe that quality knives can only be made where high-precision production meets traditional artisanship, and for that there is no place like home. They have spent over two centuries honing both knives and technique to perfection, and they employ some of the world’s most skilled knife artisans to ensure that their premium blades are truly extraordinary.

WÜSTHOF is one of the few brands permitted to use the label “Made in Solingen” on their knives rather than the less restricted “Made in Germany.” Solingen, Germany is the steel manufacturing capital of the world. To bear the name Solingen, all key manufacturing stages must have been processed and finished within Solingen, and the product must meet strict quality standards.

Inkwell sells Classic and Classic Ikon forged knives. The forged knives go through over 40 steps in the factory to create the top-quality blades WÜSTHOF has to offer. Forged knives include a bolster, which helps to balance the knife. Laser-cut stamped blades go through 14 steps in the factory and are more economically priced. They are lighter in weight and do not have a bolster.

The most important knife in any kitchen is the chef’s knife, and after that, it depends on your own personal preferences when cooking. Guten Appetit!
