Sharpening

A special WÜSTHOF knife sharpening process called PEtec (Precision Edge Technology) ensures the ideal cutting angle. It is a top-class technology where knives are sharpened by robots that are controlled and monitored by computers. The advantage of this process is the precise geometry along the entire length of the blade, the remarkable and extremely high initial cutting performance of the knife comparable to a razor sharp blade and last but not least the long life of the blade.
