Forged from one piece of specially tempered high carbon steel to ensure outstanding strength with long-lasting, extreme sharpness, thanks to WÜSTHOF’s Precision Edge Technology, this set includes 4 WÜSTHOF Classic 4 1/2" Steak Knives. Instead of using a serrated blade to saw through a fantastic cut of beef, Wüsthof employs a straight-edge blade that slices cleanly, allowing for exquisite presentation and superior feel. Although they need to be sharpened a little more often than a serrated steak knife, the results are far superior and worth the effort. With these, you’ll be ready to dig in without trepidation at every steak-bearing opportunity. As with all Wüsthof Classic knives, these feature a German high-carbon stainless steel blade, a precision forged bolster, and a durable riveted handle that will last long enough to be an heirloom for your great grandchildren. So stop with the hacking! Let Wüsthof help you in your quest for steak nirvana. For a larger family, Wusthof Gourmet Steak Knives come in a set of 6.
