Removing bones and skinning meat in a professional way: thanks to the sturdy workmanship and the easily manoeuvrable, extremely sharp blade with a pointed tip, the Boning Knife is ideal for removing bones or for skinning meat and poultry. Tendons and fat can also be removed easily so it is your ideal companion when it comes to meat preparation.
For professional carving in the kitchen or at the table we recommend our Carving Set.
WÜSTHOF's precise, double-serrated edge makes a clear difference with this bread knife: in contrast with a single-serrated edge, this knife has serrations within the serrations, meaning that it remains sharp for longer, requires less pressure and is suitable for very precise, smooth cuts. Bread with a hard crust is not crushed when sliced with this double-serrated blade, while bread with a soft crust is also sliced cleanly, without any tearing of the delicate surface.
Ceramic sharpening rod for dull to moderately sharp knives. The ceramic surface ensures exceptional sharpening of the blade: with just a few steps you can achieve the desired result. Ceramic Steels are available in fine and standard grit.
As these rods remove a tiny amount of metal from the knife, we recommend an additional WÜSTHOF Honing Steel for daily or weekly resharpening.
The Chinese blade shape with a new look and in WÜSTHOF quality: the Chai Dao combines the shape of a Santoku with that of a Chinese chopping knife. However, it adopts not only the form, but also the functionalities of the two models. Thanks to the slightly curved shape of the blade, the Chai Dao is suitable for both cutting and chopping, especially for a fluid rock-chop. As this knife is particularly finely ground towards the cutting edge it should not be used for chopping bones; instead we recommend our European Cleaver or Butchers Knife.
The all-rounder: for mincing, chopping or cutting meat, fish, fruit and vegetables. This Cook’s Knife is an active participant in many kitchen tasks, makes food prepping pleasurable and is part of every professional and hobby cook’s basic equipment.
The half bolster, the junction between handle and blade, reduces the weight of the knife, making it easier to handle. It also allows the entire blade to be sharpened more easily.
Our Cook’s Knife is the dynamic all-rounder in the kitchen. With its shorter 16 cm blade, this professional knife is ideal for precise, clean work on small and large ingredients. It is suitable for all knife techniques – making it the perfect all-purpose knife for food lovers and professional chefs.
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating: the DLC-coated blade is the gold standard on the knife market. Thanks to the lotus effect, it glides almost effortlessly through hard and soft ingredients and is also extremely durable and scratch resistant.
Hexagon Power Grip: the innovative, ergonomic handle with its offset non-slip honeycomb structure ensures ultimate control and is ideal for all working conditions.
A well-designed cutting board with a crumb catcher. The stable cutting base is a huge benefit, particularly when slicing bread and rolls. Crumbs fall through the heat-treated beech slats directly into the crumb catcher, which can then easily be emptied.
Anyone wanting the best for their knives, their high-quality Chopping Board and for their eyes too doesn’t have to make compromises with their cutting board supports. Made of sustainable natural fibres, our Cutting Board Support offers protection for both blade and wood, is dishwasher-safe and can easily be replaced if necessary.
A professional tool for exceptional sharpening results – even over time.

Asian knives can also be sharpened with the Electric Knife Sharpener.• Handy table-top device.• Flexible grinding belts.• Integrated dust suction.• Interchangeable angle guide.• Replaceable PEtec blade guide• Intelligent "One Touch" program control.• Anti-slip rubber base.• Delivery only within Germany.Improve handling with the Upgrade Set (7918).Replace the grinding belts with the Spare Belt Set (7918-1).
WÜSTHOF knives are worth protecting: this beech wood drawer insert fits all standard cutlery drawers and pull-outs, offering space for 7 knives with a blade length of up to 23 cm. The slots hold the knives firmly in position, preventing wear or damage caused by jarring or bumping.
The easiest way to sharpen knives and to keep them sharp. This 2-stage pull-through, V-shaped Knife Sharpener with tungsten and ceramic steels is particularly suitable for those who do not feel comfortable using Sharpening Steels or Whetstones. With this Sharpener, the knife is simply drawn through the guiding notches a few times - the notch with tungsten steel is used for coarser sharpening (for blunt blades) while the ceramic notch is for fine sharpening (for coarsely sharpened or moderately-sharp blades) – and results are quickly achieved.
A Magnetic Rack for the storage and display of your knives. The Magnetic Rack can be attached to the wall or to tiles. Two extra-strong magnets hold the knives safely and save space. WÜSTHOF Magnetic Racks are available in various lengths and materials.
The classic all-rounder: ideal for chopping, cleaning and decorating fruit and vegetables. This Vegetable Knife steals a march as a universal kitchen tool with its short blade and handy shape. Clean carrots, peel apples, chop shallots - it can do many things and do many things well. Together with the Cook's Knife and the Bread Knife , the Vegetable Knife is an essential piece of equipment that no cook should be without.
Anyone wanting the best for their knives, their high-quality Chopping Board and for their eyes too doesn’t have to make compromises with their cutting board supports. Made of sustainable natural fibres, our Cutting Board Support offers protection for both blade and wood, is dishwasher-safe and can easily be replaced if necessary.
Honing Steel for exceptional honing of your knives. Even high-quality knives, such as those made by WÜSTHOF, gradually dull due to use: to compensate, a honing steel should be used regularly. A few strokes of both sides of the knife over the sharpening steel will help you to maintain the sharpness of a good blade. We recommend using a Diamond Steel or a Ceramic Steel to restore the sharpness of particularly blunt knives.
The Ham Slicer has earned its name: its shape and sharpness are designed to cut very thin slices of hard ingredients, especially from hams. These qualities make this knife ideally suited to fruit and vegetables and other meats too, as well as for carving roasts.
A sharpening stone for a particularly gentle way of honing and sharpening your knives. WÜSTHOF Whetstones consist of a combination of different high-quality, abrasive grits. The stones have two sides – one with a fine grit and one coarse. The coarse side is used to smooth off any unevenness while the finer grit is used to hone and sharpen your knife.We recommend the Whetstone Holder, which guarantees even more stability, to accompany the Whetstone.
