Wüsthof Xline series kitchen knives

The Xline is the latest Wüsthof series, developed in 2013. The name of the series comes from the X line visible on the bolster of the knife. That is the transition from the blade to the handle. That shape makes you hold the knife instinctively like a professional chef; with three fingers on the handle and thumb and index finger on the bolster.

The best materials

The series is characterised by masculine lines and the knives look quite heavy. The sides of the kitchen knives have a ceramic coating that provides optimal protection against rust and scratches. Additionally, the coating makes the knife slide through food easier and the food tends to stick less.

The special design recently won the Red Dot Design Award.
