Just pick up a Wüsthof-Trident Classic knife and you can feel the care and expertise that go into each knife. Classic cutlery is hot drop-forged from a single piece of Wüsthof’s exclusive steel alloy, given a traditional, riveted handle bonded to a full-length tang, then hand finished and sharpened. Wusthof knives are produced from only the finest of original, select materials. It takes more than 40 major manufacturing steps from forging to tempering, grindling and polishing until the final cutting edge is applied.
