The WÜSTHOF Classic Chef's Knife is a fully forged blade crafted from premium German steel through a 54-step artisan process. This essential 16cm knife handles everything from mincing herbs to carving meat with precision and balance.
Developed in consultation with professional chefs, this Classic knife from WÜSTHOF is 'The Original' European Chef's Knife, the workhorse and most essential knife of the kitchen. This must-have for professional and home cooks alike can mince herbs, crush garlic, dice vegetables, skin fish and carve meat.
Meticulously crafted from a single piece of premium German steel, a knife in the WÜSTHOF Classic series possesses the integral strength of a fully forged blade through a 54-step manufacturing process consisting of a combination of laser-precise machinery and world-class artisan expertise. Its comfortable ergonomic handle is made from POM, a durable material with tight molecular structure to resist fading, discolouration and build-up of insanitary material. The full bolster (the junction between handle and blade) protects the hand from the sharp blade and balances the weight of the knife when using.
