Gourmet Vs. Classic
The Gourmet Series Knives are equipped with a synthetic handle for easy wash and clean up.  Gourmet Series Knives are Stamped from a single piece of Steel.  Also, with a handle that extends the full length of the tang the knife itself goes all the way into the handle.  The difference between the gourmet and classic is the Handle Design and how the blade connects into the handle.  The Classic Series is Hand Forged from a single piece of Steel. The Classic Series Handle Extends all the way through the handle from top to bottom, unlike the Gourmet which only extends half way through the handle.

Wusthof Gourmet Knife Set Blades

The Wusthof Gourmet Knife blade with the straight edge
The straight edge allows a smooth and clean cut. When carving no fibres are torn out of the meat. This edge can be used for firm and soft food like meat, vegetables and fruit.

The Wusthof  Gourmet Knife blade with the serrated edge
The wavy or serrated edge allows an easy cut through crusty food like a traditional roast and crispy bread.

The Wusthof  Gourmet Knife blade with the hollow edge
When cutting an air pocket is created between the hollow edge and the slice. This prevents the food from sticking to the blade and allows for finer slices.
