Wusthof Amici, the simple joys of preparing and sharing.

Inspired by the abundant sunshine and farmland of Calabria, Italy, Wusthof Amici embodies “la dolce vita”: the joyful zest for life. The Amici series combines our iconic, precision-forged blades with uniquely grained Calabrian olive wood handles, fusing modern craftsmanship with Italian design sensibilities to create an ideal knife for preparing and sharing meals. Benvenuti Amici.

Calabrian Olive Wood

Each Amici board is an original thanks to the distinct grain of the olive wood. The Calabrian olive tree is slow growing, with extremely durable wood that is naturally water-repellent and antibacterial. Our sustainably sourced wood comes mainly from olive trees that bear little to no fruit, due to their advanced age.
