Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Wüsthof Classic in peak condition, always hand-wash it immediately after use with warm water and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly before storing. Never place this knife in a dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents can damage the handle and degrade the blade edge. We recommend storing it in a wooden knife block or on a magnetic strip to prevent the edge from dulling against other utensils. Use a honing steel regularly to realign the edge, and sharpen professionally every 6 to 12 months depending on the frequency of use.
