Expertly crafted in Solingen, Germany, Wüsthof’s popular EMERILWARE KNIVES, designed in partnership with America’s hottest chef and TV personality Emeril Lagasse, were recently on display at the 2006 International Home & Housewares Show in Chicago.

Wüsthof’s EMERILWARE KNIVES feature a laser-sharp blade, personally selected by Emeril Lagasse for its’ precision, and a molded black handle to ensure greater comfort and a more secure grip. In keeping with all other Wüsthof high-quality cutlery, EMERILWARE KNIVES are crafted from an exclusive high-carbon stain-resistant alloy that is engineered to enhance edge-retention and facilitate re-sharpening. Additionally, the knives include Emeril’s familiar signature etched on the blade of each knife.

The EMERILWARE KNIVES assortment includes 18 open stock kitchen knives and accessories - priced from $9.99 for a paring knife to $39.99 suggested retail for a 7-inch hollow santoku knife – as well as several affordably priced gift sets and one basic block set. The gift sets include a 2-Piece Asian Set (7-inch hollow santoku and paring knife) for $49.99 suggested retail, a 3-Piece Paring Knives Set ($24.99 suggested retail), and a 4-Piece Steak Knives Set ($49.99 suggested retail).
