Ki t c h e n wa re N e ws & H o u s e wa re s Re vi e w S h o w D a i l y S u n d a y, M a rc h 1 6 , 2 0 1 4 8 8 NEW WÜSTHOF 2014 ANNIVERSARY SET Marking its 200th anniversary this year, WÜSTHOF introduces its uniquely designed 2014 Anniversary Set (model 1814-200). Comprised of two precision- forged, full-tang knives, essential to everyone's food prep tasks – a 9-inch Cook's Knife and 3.5-inch Paring Knife – the 2014 Anniversary Set features razor-sharp, high-carbon steel blades, elegant handles fashioned in rosewood and gleaming brass rivets. Crafted in Solingen, Germany – WÜSTHOF's global headquarters and site of its manufacturing facilities since the company's founding in 1814 – the limited edition 2014 Anniversary Set is made of distinctive, traditional materials that pay homage to the brand's unparal- leled heritage in creating the world's finest cutlery. High-carbon steel blades are the key distinguishing feature of WÜSTHOF's chic, vintage-style 2014 Anniversary Set. This non-alloy steel delivers an extraor- dinarily fine cut, outstanding sharpness and superior edge retention due to its very close-grained structure. The set's high-performance, carbon steel straight edge blades are simultaneously very flex- ible and highly resilient, two knife char- acteristics prized by professional chefs and avid home cooks. A typical feature of carbon steel blades is darkening in color over time, which is completely harmless and gives these premium quality knives an appealingly old fashioned, vibrant patina. The 2014 Anniversary Set features WÜSTHOF's signature bolster/finger guard at the base of the blade, which accounts for the cutlery's heft, and solid, balanced feel. The hand- some and comfort- ably contoured handles of the 2014 Anniversary Set are made of rosewood, a cherished, exotic wood known for its dark, purplish- brown hue. Prized for its exceptional hardness and durability, rosewood is dry- stored for at least 25 years in climate- controlled rooms prior to use. The densi- ty and durability of rosewood ensures that the knives' handles will stand up to a lifetime of rigorous use in professional and home kitchens. Brass triple rivets further distinguish the 2014 Anniversary Set. This tradition- al method for securing the tang to the handle, and choice of classic metals pays homage to WÜSTHOF's rich history crafting knives, and highly complements the set's artful design. Offered for purchase until supplies at retail last, the limited edition 2014 Anniversary Set is made with the utmost diligence and tradition, using over 50 steps in the process. All WÜSTHOF knives are fully guaranteed to be free of defects in craftsmanship. WÜSTHOF knives are crafted in Solingen, Germany, WÜSTHOF- Trident's manufacturing and headquar- ters base since the company's founding 200 years ago. Celebrating its 200th anniversary in 2014, the family-owned and managed company with a rich her- itage, the first WÜSTHOF factory was listed in 1814 in official documents of the Duchy of Berg. Additionally, the famous "Trident" logo was first registered in 1895. With a proud tradition that spans seven generations, WÜSTHOF continues to uphold its simple mission to create the finest cutlery in the world. The highly collectible 2014 Anniversary Set will be available at retail nationwide beginning April 1st for $200.00 suggested retail. Visit WÜSTHOF at booth S804.
