Wusthof are an exceptional company

Wusthof are an exceptional company. I have been using their knives for years, they are reliable and great quality.
The Customer service is very helpful and resolved and issue had without fuss.

I dropped a knife on a tiled floor and the blade snapped in 2, even though I have had it a few years they sent a replacement. Finally a lifetime guarantee that actually means lifetime! Well Done Wusthof!

Pick Wusthof knives for life, stay for ever :-)

I've built up a lovely Wusthof knife set over 20 years and I love every one. They are great to work with in the kitchen and a pleasure to care for. I love even more how Wusthof respond when one goes wrong after many, many years' use. Amy takes charge and fixes the issue. Great knives, great company and a feel good customer service :-) Bravo Wusthof!

Professional Company

One of the most professional companies I have dealt with. Honoured a warranty on a 12 year old knife that had become damaged and sent out a replacement after I provided them with photos and proof of purchase.

New knife arrived promptly and up to the usual standards I’ve come to expect from Wüsthof.

A pleasure to deal with and needless to say I’m a Wüsthof fan for life.

Thank you Amy and team.

Superb product and service

After nearly 30 years of use and misuse, four of my Wusthof knives were no longer in great shape. They were replaced under warranty, no arguments. This is superb service by any estimation, and is greatly appreciated.

Truly brilliant service - BEST knives ever

I have to say I've been truly impressed by the customer support team at Wusthof UK. I had a set of Classic Ikons and the handles had been cracking and chunks were starting to break off. I was in John Lewis looking at replacing them. Got chatting to one of the staff who said the knives had a lifetime warranty, so worth getting in touch with Wusthof. Which I did, and I'm so thankful as they've all been replaced with no quibble. I was without them for a couple of weeks and have to say really missed them, having to make do with an old set that never kept a sharp edge! So looking forward to receiving my replacements.
Thank you so much and especially to Holly.

Having purchased a knife through Amazon…

Having purchased a knife through Amazon a year ago it developed a fault in that it split along the back edge. I tried to go through Amazon to get a replacement under their warranty period which proved impossible, they completely ignored my requests. I contacted Wusthof directly, I was helped by the amazing Amy Tan. She immediately provided me with a replacement knife, no problems at all. Amy is a credit to Wusthof, this is how customer service is supposed to work.

no quibble lifetime guarantee honoured

I absolutely love my Wusthof Classic Ikon 17cm,its been used daily since 2017 and with occasional touch up on a Japanese wetstone it remains the sharpest tool i own.
So when I snapped the tip off last week on some tough veg I was gutted, I reached out to Amy and she replaced it immediately with the identical model. What a great service. You only really need one good knife, so make it a Wusthof.

Beautifully made knives that perform…

Beautifully made knives that perform amazingly. I'd previously used some from a well known hight street kitchen supplier, and although they weren't terrible, they're not a patch on Wusthof. Add to that the amazing customer service / warranty (I had an issue with a knife that was caused by human error but Wusthof replaced it immediately) and you really shouldn't buy anything else!

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service. Had an issue with one of my knives. Made an enquiry to Wusthof uk. Amy was super helpful and resolved the issue. It's a brand that I have a lot of trust in and will continue to support and recommend to others.

Crack in blade

Issue with a knife, four years after purchase. Contacted Wusthof and they have promptly honoured the lifetime guarantee with no fuss. Could not ask for better service

This a truly great company

This a truly great company. The handle on the kitchen knife I bought around twenty years had cracked and was completely broken. Much to my surprise when I asked Wusthof if it could be repaired they gathered all the facts from me asking for photos and the history of the knife from date of purchase and then told me they would send me a brand new replacement!!
Incidentally, the knife blade is made from top quality steel. It sharpens beautifully and there are no notches or roughness on the blade. A knife of the quality is not cheap but it is certainly worth the price.
I can strongly recommend Wusthof.

When I received my parcel it was open…

When I received my parcel it was open and the knives was missing these was for my sons Xmas present. I contact and Holly got back to be and raised a credit for me to reorder this was 3 days before Xmas day they gave me next day delivery to assure they was here on time. The service I received was second to none, the quality are amazing these will last him for years. We even ordered the chopping board to use with the knives. Definitely recommend buying these as you won’t be disappointed. We will be adding to this collection.

21 days later, no item

I ordered an item on the 3rd of January.

It still hasn’t been delivered 21 days later

Customer service has been useless (Amy Tan) days between replies, no update that I can’t see myself on the delivery service. Not sure of what the point of her service is

I’ve repeatedly asked for a new item or a refund, which keeps getting ignored.

Great knives, Great Service

I've had three Wusthof knives for around twenty years, and recently noticed that the bread knife had a cracked handle. I contacted Wusthof on the 2nd January enquiring about a warranty claim or otherwise for repair options, and after being sent the relevant form, I was approved for a warranty replacement, received by post on the 12th January. I'd like to thank Amy at Wusthof for her help.

Perhaps more important than the quality of service is the excellent quality of the knives. These are knives to last a lifetime, supported by a lifetime warranty.

Realistically, I think any knife of this price should be this good, however backing it with such good service twenty years later is remarkable.

Wüsthof for life…

Contacted Wüsthof to enquire about repairing my trusted classic chef knife. The handle had split after over 10 years of immaculate use. The knife is an extension of my hand when cooking. As it’s my favourite knife in my Wüsthof collection and the blade is still as good as the day I brought it. I thought a handle repair maybe possible. Instead Amy and the incredible team at Wüsthof UK, are sending a replacement. I didn’t imagine I’d get that response, but thrilled with the outcome. I’m glad I invested in a quality company all those years ago. Wüsthof is and will be my knife choice for life.

Our knife broke

Our knife broke. Despite not having our receipt and the knife being some years old. Wüsthof handled our query very professionally and promptly and sent us a replacement knife without quibble. Great service. Very impressed.
