Technologies and materials used

For the production of the knives, special high-quality knife steel with a hardness of approximately 55 - 57 HRC according to Rockwell was used, which is fine-grained, hard and less susceptible to corrosion. In addition, thanks to the flat cut, it is highly resistant to damage or breakage while maintaining excellent cutting performance. Its properties are further enhanced for knife making by forging, which homogenises and densifies its structure.

Special Performance Cut technology combines the advantages of traditional forging with the benefits of modern manufacturing processes. The result is an excellent edge. Precise sharpening at a constant angle is also crucial for excellent knife quality. It is the flat cut that makes the knives so sharp.

The reinforced bolster is integrated as part of the blade in one piece of steel. Ensures correct weight distribution, protects fingers from slipping on the blade and ensures precise control of the knife.

Ergonomic handle, pleasant to the touch, made of high quality plastic. It is a durable, stainless steel material, resistant to impact and food acids. The blades are attached to the knife shank with two rivets. The perfect bonding of the individual parts prevents the trapping of deposits and bacteria. The knives are therefore absolutely hygienic. In addition, you will find a stainless steel application on the heel of the handle, which helps to balance the knife.

WMF knife maintenance

Grand Class knives are not dishwasher safe. For such high-quality knives, only hand washing under running water is recommended, which is gentler on the knives and also much faster.
