The pan consists of the following layers:
Outer Layer – SUS 430 Stainless Steel
Middle Layer – 1050 Aluminum
Inner Layer – SUS 304 Stainless Steel
Blackbeard Honeycomb Framework

The non-stick coating is made of PTFE (whitford coating), but PFOA free.
Please know that virtually every pan in the market is made of PTFE, which itself is not considered hazardous (contrary to PFOA). In the comments of our Kickstarter you can find very detailed information about the tests we have run on our products and about the Whitford Coating

Although the stainless steel is dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend cleaning your knife by hand. The banging around that happens in the dishwasher can damage the cutting edge of your knife.

The handle is hollow casted. The weight of a knife is one of its most important aspects. To achieve the perfect weight, we’ve tested different knives for months. We discovered that the weight of each knife is ideal and Michelin star chefs have confirmed this. Hollow casting turned out to be the best technique to achieve the perfect weight.

Right from the beginning, it was our goal to extend the maximum lifespan of a chef’s knife. To realize this, we took bold design decisions and pushed the boundaries of manufacturing possibilities beyond premium standards.

We’ve made the blade bigger to extend the life cycle of the cutting edge, as the blade gets a fraction smaller after each sharpening process.

Each Wigbold is paired with a matching sharpening stone with code 1000/6000, to maintain your Wigbold’s cutting edge.

Are you unable to re-sharpen your knife? Then our pirate code gets you off the hook: send your Wigbold chef’s knife to our Crowd Cookware’s crow’s nest and we’ll return it razor-sharp for free.

Please send me an email to tacco@crowdcookware.com and I would be happy to answer it!
