If you’ve ever glanced at your knife block and thought these could be a little more… me, Wüsthof has just answered the call. The iconic German brand has introduced Fresh Rosemary to its Wüsthof Classic knives, a muted herb-garden green that looks equally at home on a marble benchtop or a rustic timber board.
While the colour is new, the craftsmanship behind it isn’t. Wüsthof has been producing knives in Solingen, Germany – a city recognised globally for blade-making – for more than 200 years.
Each knife is precision-forged from proprietary stainless steel and hardened for strength and edge retention. The result is a blade designed for everyday cooking: steady, sharp and reliable.

Wüsthof classic knives: Frequently asked questions
Yes. These knives are widely considered high-quality kitchen knives thanks to their forged construction, durable steel and balanced feel. The blades are typically hardened to around 58 on the Rockwell scale, which helps them hold a sharp edge while remaining tough enough for everyday cooking.
They’re precision-forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel and designed to balance edge retention with durability, meaning they can stay sharp for long periods while being relatively easy to maintain.
Because of this combination of durability, balance and sharpness, Wüsthof Classic knives are often used by both professional chefs and serious home cooks.
Wüsthof Classic knives are made in Solingen, Germany. The city is often called the “City of Blades” and is globally recognised for its knife-making heritage.
The Wüsthof Classic range includes kitchen essentials such as chef’s, santoku, bread, utility and paring styles. There are also block sets and steak sets for those building a full collection.
Fresh Rosemary is a muted herb-green handle colour recently introduced to the Wüsthof Classic range. The shade adds a subtle pop of colour while keeping the same precision-forged blades the collection is known for.
