Blade length: 12 cm; Total length: 23.5 cm; Weight: 94 grams

The **Wüsthof Epicure 12 cm steak knife**  is a beautifully shaped, extremely sharp knife that is perfect to use at the dinner table. The knife smoothly cuts any type of meat thanks to the special blade with an extremely sharp edge. Without serrations of course because that would tear apart the fibres which is something you don’t want to happen. A great piece of meat deserves a great knife!


## Wüsthof Epicure: the striking blade


The shape of the Wüsthof Epicure is a little broader to ensure that more pressure is put on the product that is being cut. The full-tang blade is made from one piece of X50CrMoV15 steel. In addition, the excellent quality of the steel has been given another dimension while it was forged and during the subsequent solidification process. As such the steel determines the sharpness and sustainability of the knife. Furthermore, the hardness of 58 HRC guarantees that the knife remains sharp, flexible and is easy to sharpen.


## Wüsthof Epicure: innovative crop


The newly shaped crop ensures an optimal balance and gives you more freedom while you are cutting. In addition, the crop protects the fingers making sure that they do not come into contact with the blade. Via the crop the blade seamlessly merges with the handle.


##  Wüsthof Epicure: the stylish handle


The handle is made from layers of paper and synthetic resin. As such you end up with the feel of wood, but the hygienic qualities of plastic. Like the blade the handle is also slightly bigger. The ergonomically designed handle ensures optimal comfort. The front part is relatively broad but becomes slimmer towards the back to fit the natural position of the hand. The handle is attached with two stainless steel rivets.


## Wüsthof Epicure: Ingenious down to the last detail


Björn Berger is a successful industrial designer from Germany. His design is the basis for the knives that combine two important philosophies: the low weight of Japanese knives and German quality. After two years of perfecting and forging the results are finally here. And damn, those are some results!

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

Way of sharpening

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.
