Product detailed description

Thanks to its short, flexible blade, the Spitzenklasse Plus vegetable knife has a versatile use. It is suitable for cleaning and preparing vegetables, mushrooms and salads. Moreover, it fits very well in the hand.

Thanks to its thin and relatively short blade, the Spitzenklasse Plus universal knife is ideal for a variety of tasks: for cleaning, slicing and also for cutting. It can cut meat, fish, potatoes, raw vegetables, fruit, as well as hard sausages and salami.

The Spitzenklasse Plus chef's knife is a sturdy, heavy knife with a wide blade with a fine yet durable edge. The knife's spine and blade are slightly curved and taper to a point. Thanks to this, the chef's knife can be used in a truly versatile way, for cleaning and cutting vegetables, meat or chopping chops. It is also suitable for cradling herbs, vegetables or nuts. The tip of the knife remains firmly on the work surface and the blade moves up and down. The knife also has one side wider for even filleting of the fish.

The Spitzenklasse Plus series of knives from the German company WMF continues the traditional Spitzenklasse series, which is a classic among kitchen knives. The riveted handles made of special, high-quality plastic have rounded edges and are very comfortable to grip, unlike the previous series. It goes without saying that such high-quality knives also have perfect bonding of the individual parts, which prevents the trapping of deposits and bacteria.

The blades made of forged cutlery steel are manufactured using the innovative Performance Cut technology. The blade is also laser controlled. This ensures excellent cutting properties and long-lasting sharpness along the entire length of the blade. The service life of the knives is even twice as long as the standards require. The Spitzenklasse Plus range offers knives for every conceivable use, always with the right blade and the right blade shape.

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

The handle made of high-quality plastic is comfortable to hold thanks to its rounded edges. The blades are attached to the knife tang with three rivets. The perfect bonding of the individual parts prevents the trapping of deposits and bacteria. The knives are therefore hygienic.

WMF knife maintenance

Spitzenklasse Plus 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.

WMF knife sharpening

Every knife should be sharpened from time to time, but ideally should be sharpened with a sharpener after each use. For sharpening knives of the Spitzenklasse Plus series we recommend a sharpener (must be sharpened at an angle of 13°) or WMF sharpeners.
