Wüsthof has forged knives in Solingen since 1814 and stays in family hands, now the seventh generation. For left-handed cooks the notable item is the Classic serrated bread knife with serrations ground on the left side of the blade: the flat face acts as a guide, so slices come off straight instead of wandering into the loaf. Blades are precision forged from a single piece of steel, handles are POM, and the warranty covers the working life of the knife.
The left-handed part of the range is narrow, mostly serrated slicers, and it rarely sits on a shop shelf, so ordering online is the realistic route. Classic serrated bread knives run near the $130 mark at US retail. The factory asks for handwashing; dishwasher heat dulls the edge and works on the handle rivets over years.
