Exclusive Precision Edge Technology
WÜSTHOF'S Precision Edge Technology, PEtec, offers superior blade sharpness and has set the new standard for modern cutlery.
Conventionally hand-sharpened knives are plagued by irregularities that diminish the blade’s sharpness and overall performance. Through a proprietary process inclusive of computer-controlled robotics, WÜSTHOF'S PEtec yields a smoother, more refined edge with dramatically increased sharpness and sharpness retention along the entire length of the blade. The result is a knife with a definitive advantage for every home or professional chef.
The Technology:
- Before sharpening, the blades are measured using lasers to ensure accuracy
- Computers calculate the precise sharpening angle for each blade
- Precision robots sharpen the blades on a whetstone
- The knives are given a final polish using a specialized disc
The Benefits:
- The quality of forged WÜSTHOF knives producted using the PEtec process is significantly higher than that producted by the standard manual sharpening process.
- Extremely high cutting performance with a 20% sharper edge
- Doubles the edge retention
- Optimum cutting edge along the entire length of the blade
- Unique, consistently high and reproducible quality
