Located near the banks of the Wupper River, Solingen has been home to master blacksmiths for over 2,000 years, with the river's many creeks and spillways perfectly suited to provide power for the forging of blades through the 18th and 19th centuries. It was then, in 1814, that the WÜSTHOF tradition began. To this day, every WÜSTHOF knife is expertly crafted in the legendary 'City of Blades'. Laser cut stamped from one piece of specially tempered high-carbon stainless steel. Specially developed synthetic handle, designed for comfort and control. Full-tang handle (for all blades longer than 12cm). Easily slice through a thick cut of steak in style with this beautiful and functional set of four Wüsthof Gourmet steak knives. This set includes four matching steak knives. This set of German engineered knives is equipped with high-carbon stainless steel blades to easily slice through any cut of meat. Each knife features a full tang bevel and triple riveted ergonomic handles with 16 degree blade angles. Forged from a single piece of high-carbon steel, it is stain and corrosion resistant. They have straight blades and a tang that extends the full length of the handle for heightened balance and control. Ideal for any chef, this set makes a wonderful gift. Since 1814, Wüsthof has set the standard for designing and manufacturing precision-forged knives. Today the family business is in its seventh generation of ownership, under the management of Harald Wüsthof. Wüsthof knives are manufactured by a skilled team of 300 dedicated workers in two state-of-the-art facilities in Solingen, Germany. Production follows strict rules in order to achieve the finest quality, while at the same time remaining environmentally friendly.13" L x 2-1/5" W x 1" H Moderately priced companions to Wüsthof's renowned Classic forged knives, Gourmet Series knives have the same full-tang, three-rivet, virtually indestructible poly handles as Classic knives. Instead of being forged, however, Gourmet Series blades are cut from steel sheets by precision lasers. That means they have no bolsters. But it also means they are perfectly shaped and fit their handles seamlessly. And the blades' high-carbon stainless steel is identical to that of Wüsthof's premium knives, only thinner. The four steak knives in this set have straight edges for neatly slicing steaks, chops, and roasts into bite-sized pieces at the table. At 4-3/4 inches, they're long enough to handle the biggest porterhouse yet are nicely balanced and light in the hand. The knives are dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended to protect their edges. --Fred Brack no
