Absolutely. Though it looks stunning, the Crafter range is built to be used daily. The smoked oak handles are durable, and the steel is hardened to stay sharp through regular use.
What makes the Crafter Cook's Knife different from other Wusthof knives?
It's the blend of heritage and natural materials; smoked oak, brass rivets, and Solingen-forged steel. The Crafter line is about honest craftsmanship and individuality, perfect for cooks who appreciate tools with soul.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No, and it deserves better! Hand wash and dry straight away to protect the handle and edge.
How do I keep the handle looking beautiful?
A quick wipe with a soft, damp cloth is usually enough. Occasionally, apply a light food-safe oil to maintain the oak's natural finish.
- Wash by hand and immediately towel dry.
- Avoid using abrasive sponges or leaving your knife soaking in the sink.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as metal, glass or hardwoods like bamboo.
- Regular honing is essential to keep your knife performing at its best.
- Sharpen as needed using a whetstone, sharpening steel, or hand-held knife sharpener.
