Many people are surprised to discover that Wüsthof is still family-owned after more than 200 years. The seventh generation of the Wüsthof family is now at the helm. Equally unusual is the fact that this company has remained loyal to the 'City of Blades' and these forged knives are still only produced in Solingen, Germany.
Wüsthof believes that quality knives can only be made where high-precision production meets traditional craftsmanship. There is no better place for this than at home, in Solingen.

Production may be cheaper in other international locations, but when it comes to making knives, continuity and a long-term vision are important to Wüsthof. For more than two centuries, this company has been skilled in making knives. Some of the world's most skilled knifemakers are employed by Wüsthof, ensuring that their premium knives remain exceptional.
