The blade is made from a single piece of X50CrMoV15 steel that has been hardened by Wusthof to 58 HRC. With Wusthof's unique PEtec technology and their meter-long sharpening line, every knife in the Epicure series is guaranteed to come out of the box razor sharp. The blade extends to the end of the handle (full tang) but is not visible at the bottom.
The Epicurean handle
The handle is made from Epicurean. Epicurean is made by compressing recycled wood fibers with synthetic resin under high pressure. This gives the handle the feel and design of wood, but it is less prone to breakage and requires very little maintenance. It is also very hygienic. The handle is seamlessly secured with two stainless steel rivets. The handle is ergonomically shaped and slopes from wide to narrow. Cutting with this knife is a joy.
With the Epicure series from Wusthof you buy a German knife that is made with the latest techniques. If you are looking for a beautiful knife that is suitable for all cutting tasks, then this might be your best choice.
