Wusthof Partner Forged Kitchen Knives

Are Wusthof Partner knives made in Germany?

  1. Yes! Every Partner knife is forged from German steel in Wusthof's factory in Solingen, Germany.

Are Wusthof Partner knife blades stamped or forged?

Wusthof Partner blades are forged from German steel, using the same process and precision sharpening as Wusthof Classic and Classic Ikon blades.

Why are Wusthof Partner knives so much less expensive than Wusthof Classic, if the blades are the same?

Wusthof Partner knives are less complex to manufacture due to the fact that the handles are not a triple-rivet construction. Therefore, it takes significantly fewer manufacturing steps to complete a Partner knife when compared to a Classic knife. There is no difference in quality.

What's unique about Wusthof Partner knives?

Partner knives have ergonomic, textured handles that provide a secure grip, even for those new to the kitchen. Additionally, they have demi-bolsters, which encourage an ideal pinch grip and make maintaining the blades easy - from tip to heel. Finally, the Partner blades have fuller shapes than standard knives, making them easy to chop and slice with, and providing a good surface for scooping food and transferring it from board to pan.
