Wusthof Pro Features
The Pro line from Wusthof is designed to meet the rough daily needs of professional kitchens worldwide. The knives are made in Solingen Germany through rigorous german engineering that provides the highest quality because of technological advances but still at a affordable price. The line offers chef’s the possibility to equip their staff with the highest quality stamped knives at a fraction of the cost of other knife lines. Thus this line of knives is perfect for any startup professional kitchen.
Pro Design
The Pro line offers a ergonomic and comfortable design made with extensive use of the tools in mind. The handles are not only comfortable but are made out of hard polyethylene which withstands rough treatment. Exactly what you can find in a busy professional kitchen. Also the blade types offered on the Pro line are specifically made for tasks found more often than not in a professional kitchen.
Pro Steel
The Steel used to make the Pro line knives is the same that Wusthof uses in the production of all of its great knives. This super steel is called the “X50 Cr MoV 15” and it is basically a high carbon stainless steel. The alloy contains a 0.5 concentration of carbon, 15% Chromium and a concentration of Molybdenum and Vanadium. All of these elements help create a great edge retention and a high corrosion and rust resistance.
The blades are hardened at 56 on the Rockwell scale. Thus you will be able to chop and slice all day without having to constantly sharpen the blade. A edge at 56 on the rockwell scale is not the hardest you’ll be able to find but pretty hard for a stamped blade. Which means that the steel and hardening process was made with high care in mind.
Pro Blade
The Pro line features stamped blades not forged as most of the Wusthof knife lines. But this shouldn’t be a big issue in a professional kitchen where the staff should be quickly equipped with high quality blades at a affordable price. With cost reduction in mind Wusthof has created some of the highest quality stamped knives on the market today. And these are the Pro knives from Wusthof.
Pro Handle
The handles of the Pro line are ergonomically shaped and feature a thumb rest for increased comfort. They are made from two plastic materials. A soft non-slip exterior and a hard inside for increased rigidity. Because of its flexibility, the handle, prevents damage to your tendons and joints after extended use. The design of the Pro knives make them very easy to use for hours on end without getting tired while still proving to increase safety from injury. Also the blade is integrated into the handle without pronounced joints which prevents food or dirt from stacking up. Thus very easy to clean.
Because the Pro line is intended for use in professional kitchens, all Pro blades respect HACCP regulations and are NSF certified.
