NEW: WÜSTHOF AMICI

THE KNIFE SERIES WITH A CALABRIAN SOUL

The southern Italian roots of our new WÜSTHOF Amici series are demonstrated by its distinctive, characterful olive wood handle and curved lines. Our premium knife lifestyle series offers seven blade shapes as well as complementary, high-quality design items. Whether you’re hosting a casual summer get-together with friends or a relaxed family evening, with Amici you can enjoy culinary experiences with a Mediterranean spirit.

Amici is the knife for life’s precious moments

Inspired by life in sun-kissed Calabria, our new WÜSTHOF Amici knife series stands for a carefree zest for life. A life harmonious with nature, a passion for culinary pleasure and love. Amici combines a precisely forged blade with distinctively grained olive wood to create something truly unique as modern craftsmanship meets Italian flair. The knife series is ideal for sharing precious moments with family and friends. Benvenuti Amici.

‘Nonna’ knows – sharing is caring

WÜSTHOF Amici is a tribute to friendship, to family and to your home. Amici is a loving recognition of the unity of the Italian ‘Bella Famiglia’ and the family’s culinary soul – the centre of the family, the ‘nonna’ or grandmother. In Calabria, as is the case around the world, a grandmother leaves her mark by creating unforgettable taste experiences that connect generations. She is a role model and inspiration, both warm and genuine. The archetypal Italian nonna is an emotional symbol, showing us that preparing food means more than just creating moments of pleasure. Preparing also facilitates sharing special memories with each other.

WÜSTHOF Amici encourages you to enjoy every culinary moment with a Mediterranean zest for life, whether you are conjuring up daily meals for family and friends to enjoy at your dining table or setting out an unforgettable feast.

A unique handle with Calabrian roots

Each Amici knife is an elegant original due to the distinctive grain of the olive wood handles. The Calabrian olive is a slow-growing tree providing extremely durable wood that is naturally antibacterial. The sustainable wood, a symbol of Mediterranean culture, is from trees that are over 50 years old; it gives Amici knives their southern Italian charm – and immediately encourages you to pick one up

Razor-sharp WÜSTHOF steel

As soon as you pick an Amici knife up, you know you can rely on the centuries-old craftsmanship of our premium knife brand. An Amici blade is forged from a single piece of WÜSTHOF steel at our factory in Solingen, Germany. The steel is rust-resistant, tough and hard, shaped precisely in our forge and then further hardened in our exclusive process. Finally, the blade is ground and polished by hand by our experienced knife grinders, acquiring long-lasting sharpness, ready and waiting for a lifetime of shared culinary moments.

The high-quality series experience – for enhanced Calabrian charm

Our Amici series is completed by lifestyle products with an Italian flair that harmoniously complement your experience. Organically shaped olive wood chopping boards give every occasion a Mediterranean feel and are also easy on Amici blades, making every moment of sharing a delight. The versatile leather mat ensures that the chopping boards remain securely in place at all times and can also be used to stylishly enhance your table setting. The round, leather-covered knife block, with its striking side seam, is especially eye-catching – the natural texture and strong character of the Italian cowhide, tanned in accordance with strict quality guidelines, make it an inspiring partner for olive wood.
