The Gourmet line of kitchen cutlery by Wusthof-Trident is a collection of kitchen knives precision-cut in Solingen, Germany with the latest state of the art laser technology. Manufactured from one piece of steel - the same quality steel used in Wusthof's Classic and Classic Ikon lines, the knives in this collection are very comfortable to use, feature razor sharp blades, and have a full tang (all blades longer than 4.5") for optimum balance and strength.
