Why choose Wüsthof Crafter for value

Crafter is the smart pick for shoppers seeking cheap forged knives that don't compromise on the blade: same Wüsthof steel and forged construction as Classic, with a rustic oak handle that lowers the price. In a forged-vs-stamped comparison, Crafter outperforms stamped lines like Gourmet on balance and durability. For a starter knife list on a budget, a Crafter chef's knife plus a paring knife keeps you under $100 before coupon savings. Watch for sale pricing and promotions on this page to maximize savings on your first forged knife.
