The history of Wüsthof

Wüsthof was founded in 1814 by Johann Abraham Wüsthof in Solingen, Germany. There's a reason this city is famous for knife making. The company has remained in the same family for more than seven generations. That long history shows in its approach: traditions are cherished, but there's room for innovation too.

Wüsthof's mission is clear: to make kitchen knives that cooks can rely on, day after day. That means strict quality checks, in-house production and attention to sustainability. Wüsthof deliberately produces in Germany and continues to invest in new techniques. Wüsthof has been a staple at Knivesandtools for years because these knives show time and again why solid craftsmanship never goes out of style.
