Founded in 1814, WÜSTHOF Knives has developed a tradition of excellence and innovation in cutting tools. A family company to the core, WÜSTHOF is now in its seventh generation of ownership under the guiding hand of Harold Wüsthof. Also staying true to their roots, each WÜSTHOF knife is made in Solingen Germany, a tradition that other major knife companies have found difficult to uphold in an era when most manufacturing is now based in Asia.
