Wüsthof Precision Edge Technology (PEtec)

PEtec is the name of Wüsthof's new technology for sharpening its knives, which was developed to make something that is already good, even better. PEtec ensures that the knives are sharper than ever before and retains its sharpness even longer.

What is PEtec technology?

•      The blades are measured before grinding using a laser.
•      Computers calculate the exact sharpening angle of each blade.
•      Precision robots sharpen their knives on a whetstone.
•      The knives are given a final polishing with the help of a special polishing wheel.

The result is a straight knife edge with a very good initial factory sharpness with an extra long life and an optimal cutting edge along the entire length of the blade. The technology ensures a unique, consistently high and reproducible quality of all knives from the factory.
