WENGER Grand Maître knives


The sharp Grand Maître® Knives by Wenger with Japanese tradition

Japanese knives are known worldwide for their highest quality. Thanks to the combination of state-of-art technology and the legendary know-how of master craftsmen of Japanese cutler art - who passed the secrets of manufacturing swords reaching back to the famous Samurai from generation to generation – Wenger can manufacture extraordinary knives.
These are today not only used by Japanese chefs for the preparation of traditional dishes.

The safe Grand Maître grip, developed to meet European requirements, has an extremely ergonomic shape and a non-slip surface. Complemented by the typical Japanese shape of the blade with lengths of 12, 17 or 20 cm, the knife is perfectly balanced, facilitating cutting and being less strenuous on the hand.

The Japanese knives by Wenger are manufactured from superior quality steel with a special molybdenum alloy which increases blade strength. Thanks to the unique Japanese polish, the knife stays endlessly sharp. The secret is the double sharpening edge starting at the end of the grip and following the shape of the blade up to the knife’s point. With this method, the sharpening angle is approx. 10° [1] compared to the 20 to 30° with conventional kitchen knives, making the knife extremely sharp. The polished granton edge [2] produces air cushions which prevents cutting material from sticking to the cutting edge. This enables especially fine and accurate cuts also with soft food such as cheese, fish and potatoes without any sticking to the blade.
