Frequently Bought Together

When you use a WÜSTHOF knife, you can be sure that you are holding one of world’s best kitchen tools in your hand.

We have been developing and manufacturing our products in Solingen, Germany, the “City of Blades,” since 1814 – loyalty that pays off in the quality and reliability of our family business, knife by knife.

High quality WÜSTHOF steel: Our special stainless steel is durable, corrosion resistant, easy to sharpen, and reduces wear on the blade. Ideal for chef’s knives.

Other Knives
Material Premium forged steel engineered for lasting strength and corrosion resistance. Often stamped or made from standard steel blends that may sacrifice durability or rust resistance.
Sharpness 20% sharper than standard knives, thanks to laser-guided PEtec technology. Factory-sharpened blades that start strong but dull faster and lack precision honing.
Craftsmanship Hand-finished in Solingen, Germany with 200+ years of expertise and precision in every detail. Mass-produced or partially outsourced craftsmanship that lacks the same heritage and consistency.
Corrosion Resistance
 Exceptional rust resistance for a blade that stays beautiful for decades. Prone to staining or rust if not carefully maintained—especially with frequent kitchen use.
Edge Retention Stays sharper twice as long as ordinary knives, reducing the need to re-sharpen. Edges wear faster over time, requiring more frequent sharpening and touch-ups.
Limited Lifetime Warranty Limited lifetime warranty – a promise backed by generations of quality. Lifetime coverage may exist, but with less transparency and variable service depending on the brand.

Questions? We Have Answers

What sets WÜSTHOF knives apart from other brands?

WÜSTHOF is one of the few brands permitted to use the label “Made in Solingen” on our knives rather than the less restricted “Made in Germany.” Solingen, Germany is the steel manufacturing capital of the world and, as such, needed to take precautionary measures against fraudulent products bearing the prestigious name, “Solingen.” In 1938, Solingen became the only city in the world whose name is a registered trademark. 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. This means that even cutlery manufactured entirely within Solingen’s town boundary may not be entitled to bear the name Solingen if it does not meet these required quality standards.

Some of our competitors use the label “Made in Germany,” which does not carry the same significance. We have the honor of labeling our products “Made in Solingen.”

What is Precision Edge Technology (PEtec)

WÜSTHOF’s proprietary state-of-the-art technology incorporates a computer-controlled method for putting the edge on forged knives. Using laser-guided precision, our knives are 20% sharper with twice the edge retention. All forged knives are manufactured using PEtec.

What do the numbers printed on my blade mean?

The number etched on your blade indicates the year it was made — just add “20” in front of it.

In some cases, you might see a second number, which shows the blade length in centimeters.

There is no item number printed on the blade.

Examples:

• “25” means the blade was made in 2025.

• “22 / 20” means the blade was made in 2022 and is 20 cm long.

What is the difference between forged and laser-cut stamped knives?

Forged knives go through over 40 steps in our 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 our factory, and are more economically priced. They are lighter in weight, and do not have a bolster.

What are the most important knives to start a set?

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

How do I keep my knives sharp?

WÜSTHOF knives can be honed and sharpened using a hand-held sharpener, an electric sharpener, a sharpening or honing steel, or a whetstone. We recommend using the same brand sharpener as your knife collection, to ensure that the material used is the correct hardness for the steel on your knives. Our sharpening angle for standard blades is 14˚ per side, and for Asian-style blades (Santokus, Nakiris) is 10˚ per side. We offer a variety of sharpening products with pre-set angles. Learn how to use our different sharpening tools here.

Imado’s Wusthuf

"It's a very nice looking knife, very sharp and light in weight. The only issue I had with it was, the cheap box that it is placed in. For a $1500 knife I would expect a nicer package."

— Imad R. (4/5)

Functional work of art!

"Thought long and hard before ordering this knife, mostly because of the price. However, this knife is a reward for all the many, many meals I have prepared and will probably continue to prepare until I cease to exist. It's a delight to hold and use. I would suggest investing in a knife block that has a clear view of this blade so you can enjoy it even when not using it. There are magnetized knife blocks with a clear plexiglass front."

— Kathleen H. (5/5)

Amazing

"Best and most beautiful knife. Super quality as always (my other Wusthof is 26 yrs old and still going) thank you for maintaining the quality over the years."

— Jenni A. (5/5)

Absolutely brilliant craftsmanship

"This is now my must prized possession. The quality and craftsmanship is beyond compare."

— Ralph T. (5/5)

Stunning knife

"I love this knife. The quality of Amici is obvious, but the beauty of the details in this knife are beyond stunning. I was replacing my knives after 30 years and couldn’t be happier. While some say they save it for special occasions, I use mine regularly because it makes me smile every time."

— Paige R. (5/5)

Amazing

"Beautiful knife."

— Russell S. (5/5)

Yes.

"If I'm ever murdered, please let it be with this knife, Imma give that 👍 before rigor mortis sets in."

— William S. (5/5)

Absolutely STUNNING!

"I was super apprehensive to buy a $1500.00 knife. But this one's a beauty. So much so that I will never use it lol. I can get the $300 Amici for daily use and frame this 1814 Amici to put up on my kitchen wall. If you can afford it, get one. Before it's all sold out 👍🏼"

— nyoung808 (5/5)

Wow

"Talk about a beautiful knife. Bought one of these to add to the collection and well, it only comes out on occasions. I have used it when family/guests come over, and it is definitely a conversation starter. Now, I’m not sure if it is worth the extra 1200ish dollars over the regular amici series, but it’s definitely cool. If you are not a collector and are looking for just a solid knife, get the regular amici. I must say it does feel good, I do personally prefer Japanese knives though."

— Daniel J. (5/5)

Amici 1814

"Nice knife, good quality but a bit pricey for what it is."

— Dennis S. (4/5)
