Further manufacturer information:
The Chinese chef's knife has a cleaver shape, but is not suitable for cutting through bones. It is used for slicing and chopping herbs and vegetables, and for cutting meat, cabbage, vegetables, herbs and fruit. Wüsthof Chinese chef's knives are designed specifically for these requirements. The polished edge, with its exceptional sharpness, makes food preparation truly enjoyable.
Wüsthof Gourmet series
Agile and versatile. Gourmet knife blades are laser-cut from rolled stainless X50CrMoV15 steel sheet and then processed in 35 production stages. The edge is formed to a 28° edge angle, and the final hand-finishing by specialists gives exceptional sharpness for quick, easy cutting. Thanks to their very high hardness of 56 HRC, they are comparable in quality and sharpness to forged knives. Their low weight and unique ergonomics make them very comfortable to hold, highly balanced and strong, making cutting easier on both hand and wrist. The special black plastic handle is secured with three rivets. Dishwasher safe, and therefore highly hygienic. The Gourmet series offers an excellent price-performance ratio, and with more than 40 different products it is just as useful for domestic households as a starter set or a basic professional kitchen kit.
The Wüsthof Gourmet series has NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certification for public health and food safety.
• Hand guard - The ergonomic knife handle fits well in the hand, and the curved end of the handle prevents slipping. The sturdy handle panels are fixed with stainless steel rivets.
• Tomato knife - The finely serrated edge of the tomato knife cuts smoothly through firm tomato skin, while the split tip lifts the slices. The knife is also well suited for cheese and fruit.
• Garnishing knife - A special blade for decorative cutting of raw and cooked fruit and vegetables, or for finely portioning butter, is excellent for creative cooks.
• Full tang - The blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability for the knife. It also acts as a counterweight, balancing the blade.
• Wavy edge - The internally formed wavy edge gives clean cuts and is suitable for large fruits, vegetables or baked goods. The wide, long blade is excellent for bread and cakes.
