Product Info

No kitchen should be without this manual food processor. It is the most essential of all knives used in the kitchen. Slicing, mincing and dicing of all kinds of food. Perfectly balanced, it's an extension of your hand.

Full Bolster: adds extra weight to the knife, and protects fingers when sharpening.

Half Bolster: the reduced bolster shape and thinner edge of the blade reduce the weight of the knife by 30% as well as making it possible to use and sharpen the entire blade.

Each Wusthof knife is drop forged from a single piece of chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel for maximum strength, balance and heft. This specialised high-carbon, stain resistant alloy ensures that the cutting edge of the knife is razor sharp and also easy to resharpen. A computer controlled grinding and polishing of the blade also ensures there is perfect tapering from bolster to tip.

The full tang knife is beautifully sandwiched by a synthetic, ergonomic handle that's been triple riveted for durability yet still retains its stylish looks and smoothness. The perfectly weighted full bolster gives the knife its heft and protects your fingers too.

Caution: Cook's knives purposely have been ground extra thin for the ultimate cutting performance. Chopping through bones will damage the fine edge.

All knife measurements are for the blade only, not the handle.

Care Instructions

Dishwasher Instructions

Although some Wüsthof products are dishwasher safe, we do not recommend that your knives and scissors be put in the dishwasher. Blades can knock together, damaging them, and if not washed soon after use, corrosive food particles can damage the blade. Rather wash your knives as soon as possible after each use with warm water and a little detergent, rinse carefully and dry with a towel.

Knife Sharpening

All knives require regular sharpening. Wüsthof manufactures sharpening options that suit all of their knives, including whetstones, honing steels and pull-through sharpeners. See the sharpening range here.

Knife Storage

Wüsthof has a range of storage options to keep your knives safe: magnets, blocks, in-drawer organisers, and knife rolls. See the storage range here.

Warranty Info

Wüsthof knives have a 10-year warranty and will be repaired or replaced after thorough inspection if there are any defects in workmanship or materials. This warranty assumes proper care, maintenance and intended use of the knives.

I am very happy with my knife. It cuts everything effortlessly and is such a pleasure to use and highly recommended.

It just highlights the fact that the knife I was using was really bad. I will certainly be looking to add another knife at some stage.

I would recommend this product to a friend.
