Set of 4 Wusthof Amici Series steak knives with extra sharp blades, ideal not only for serving steaks, but with any meat dish. German forged knives, inspired by Italy: each Amici knife pays homage to our collaboration with Serragiumenta Castle, a 16th century castle in the Calabrian countryside. Inspired by the abundant sun and farmland of Calabria, Italy, WÜSTHOF Amici embodies "la dolce vita": the joyful joie de vivre. The Amici series combines our iconic precision-forged blades with uniquely grained Calabrian olive wood handles, blending modern craftsmanship with the sensibility of Italian design to create an ideal knife for preparing and sharing meals. Unique blades Amici knife blades are forged from a single piece of WÜSTHOF steel at the plant in Solingen, Germany. Special stainless steel with hardness 58 HRC, precisely molded in the forge, is exceptionally hard, durable and rust resistant. Each blade is hand finished by expert knife craftsmen to perfect it for everyday use. Calabrian olive wood Each Amici knife is an original thanks to the distinct grain of the olive wood handles. The Calabrian olive tree is slow growing, with extremely resistant wood, naturally water-repellent and antibacterial. Our wood from sustainable sources comes mainly from olive trees that produce little or no fruit, due to their advanced age. The set consists of 4 knives. Length of the blade of each knife is cm. 12 Handle length 9.8 cm. Delivery time: 7 days
FAQs
What is the ideal length for a chef's knife?
The most common length for a chef's knife is 20 cm (8 inches), which is perfect for most kitchen tasks. However, the ideal choice depends on several factors: Hand size: Smaller hands handle 16–18 cm blades more comfortably, while larger hands may prefer a 21–25 cm blade. Personal habits: Those who favor broad movements and long cuts might lean toward longer knives; those who prioritize precision or work in tight spaces might prefer a shorter blade. Experience level: Beginners tend to choose shorter, more manageable blades, while professionals often prefer 21 or 24 cm knives for greater efficiency. In short, there is no “perfect” size for everyone — the right length should be chosen based on comfort, control, and intended use.
What’s the best way to store kitchen knives?

Avoid keeping them loose in drawers, where they can get damaged or become a safety hazard. It’s better to use a wooden block, magnetic strip, or blade guard. You can find the right solution in our catalog.

Can I put knives in the dishwasher?

It’s highly discouraged. High heat and aggressive detergents can damage both blade and handle. Knives can also knock against other items, dulling the edge.
What does "blade hardness" mean?

Hardness refers to how resistant the steel is, measured on the Rockwell scale (HRC). The harder the steel, the better it retains its edge—but it’s also more brittle and prone to chipping.
What materials are used for knife blades?
Blades can be made of stainless steel (rust-resistant), carbon steel (very sharp but delicate), or ceramic (lightweight and razor-sharp but fragile). Premium knives often use Damascus steel or advanced alloys. Not sure which to choose? Contact us—AFcoltellerie has them all.
What are knife handles made of?
Handles can be made of wood (classic but delicate), plastic (durable and hygienic), or technical materials like micarta or G-10, which are extremely tough and non-slip even when wet.
What’s the best knife for beginners?
A 20 cm chef’s knife is the most versatile option to start with. Paired with a paring knife, it covers most everyday kitchen needs.
What are the grooves (granton edge) on a blade for?
The grooves or “granton edge” reduce friction and prevent food from sticking to the blade. They’re especially useful with wet or soft foods like fish, cheese, or vegetables.
Are there knives for left-handed users?
Yes. Some single-bevel Japanese knives are made specifically for right- or left-handed use. Many universal knives, with a double bevel, work well for both.
European or Japanese knives: what’s the difference?
European knives are sturdier, with thick, curved blades for rocking cuts and tough ingredients. Japanese knives have thinner, harder blades for clean, precise slicing—but they’re also more fragile. In short: Europeans are durable and versatile, Japanese are sharp and surgical.
