Product description

Ob beim Hobby- oder Profikoch: Ein Wetzstahl darf in keiner Küche fehlen. Denn richtig und regelmäßig angewandt, verlängert er die Lebensdauer Ihrer Messer deutlich. Anders als Messerschärfer kommen Wetzstähle hauptsächlich bei leicht stumpfen Messern zum Einsatz. Entscheidend für die richtige Verwendung eines Wetzstahls ist seine Oberfläche. Glatte Wetzstähle begradigen leicht gebogene Klingen, raue Modelle schärfen die Messer, indem bei jedem Zug über den Wetzstahl ein wenig von der Klinge abgetragen und diese zusätzlich wieder aufgerichtet wird. Tipp: Zum Schärfen von Messern mit sehr harten Klingen wie zum Beispiel den japanischen Modellen verwenden Sie bitte einen Schleifstein. Ein Wetzstahl ist für diese Messer ungeeignet, da die Klingen in einem speziellen Verfahren gehärtet werden.

Sie sind ein Highlight in jeder Küche: die Messer aus der Grand Gourmet Kollektion. Komplett aus Edelstahl gefertigt, überzeugen sie durch schickes Aussehen mit exklusiven Extras: So liegen die Cromargan® Griffe sicher in der Hand, und ihre fugenlose Verarbeitung sorgt für optimale Hygiene. Beim Schneiden sorgt der Kropf für die nötige Balance zwischen Griff und Klinge, die dem Ausdruck „messerscharf“ mehr als gerecht wird: Dafür wird in der Schmiede hochwertiger Spezialklingenstahl über die gesamte Klingenlänge traditionell bearbeitet und anschließend mit der Performance Cut Technologie veredelt. Zur Grand Gourmet Serie gehören neben Klassikern wie Allzweck-, Koch- und Brotmesser unter anderem auch Filier-, Santoku- und chinesische Koch- und Hackmesser.

Performance Cut

WMF Performance Cut Technology

Cut for as long as you want. Your knife always stays uniquely sharp.

What does Performance Cut Technology mean?

It is the combination of the traditional forging process with the latest precision technology. It is, for instance, a new, innovative finishing of the steel and a high-precision sharpening process of the blades. This results in knives with an optimal cutting angle, which remain sharp for an unbelievably long time.

Traditional forging craft and the latest 'Made in Germany' technology

WMF follows the tradition of cutlers and uses particular care for this craft. From 2014, the company will combine the traditional art of forging with the latest precision technology in manufacturing. Tests show that WMF household knives that are made with this Performance Cut Technology exceed the standard for cutting performance by double.

In Hayingen, a small town in the middle of the Swabian Alb, WMF operates one of the largest blade forges in Germany. Annually, hundreds of thousands of knives are made in the company's own factory according to the traditional drop forging process. In this process, blades made of special blade steel are worked over the whole length with the forging hammer. About 30 work steps are required before the customer is holding a knife of the highest quality in their hands: From the examination of the raw material to the packaging and shipping of the knife.

Every work step is subject to strict quality controls. Only in this way can WMF ensure the high quality standard at every phase of the manufacturing process. The result is 'Made in Germany' knife blades that are phenomenally sharp, precise in their cut and retain their cutting performance for a long time.

Tips & guidelines for product reviews

Steels from WMF: sharp blades – all the time!

Steels from WMF: for sharp blades and clean cutting

With the WMF steel, you can resharpen your blades with very little effort. It makes your job easier and ensures clean cutting.

The steel: quick sharpening for blades that dull easily

In contrast to knife sharpeners, WMF's steels are mainly designed for knives that become dull easily. We recommend running the knife over the steel before each use. This guarantees that you are always cutting with a sharp knife and that as little cutting power as possible is lost. In our online shop, you can find different types of steel, from flat surfaces to combined diamond or ceramic coatings. The right steel for every purpose!

Rough or smooth steels: a question of use

When buying a steel, you need to decide if a rough or a smooth one is better. Smooth steels ensure that a blade is straightened out again. This is necessary as, during use, the cutting edge always becomes slightly curved, or starts to bend into a waved shape. With a smooth steel, you can re-straighten blades, but not sharpen them.

Rough steels from WMF, on the other hand, sharpen the knife by grinding the blade. Each time the blade is pulled across the steel, part of it is worn away to sharpen the knife. Furthermore, most rough steels also straighten the blade at the same time, which means it is no longer necessary to use a smooth steel as well. With a WMF rough-surfaced steel, you can also resharpen warped parers.

WMF steels – for permanently sharp blades in your kitchen

Every modern kitchen needs a WMF steel! The steels can be stored in a drawer to save space, or in a suitable knife block. When storing your steel, make sure that there is as little dust as possible, to keep the surface clean. WMF steels are not suitable for sharpening knives with very hard blades. These include Japanese knives, as these models undergo a special hardening process. To sharpen hard blades effectively, please use a whetstone, which we of course also offer in our usual WMF quality. WMF steels extend the useful life of your knives and ensure exceptional sharpness in your kitchen. Browse through our online shop and be impressed by our unique steel offers!
