Further manufacturer information:
After the chef's knife, the utility knife is the second most important knife to keep at hand in the kitchen. The small, versatile Wüsthof Classic utility knife has a narrow, plain-edged blade that tapers towards the tip, making cutting, slicing and peeling easy to control. Ideal for cutting small fruits and small vegetables.

Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional: the classic kitchen tool series contains more than 70 different blade shapes (6-36 cm blade length), stands out for ease of use, and is the right tool for every home cook and professional. Forged from a single piece of stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel, 58 HRC hardness, 29° edge angle. This special, high-carbon, corrosion-resistant alloy ensures that the critical properties of every Wüsthof knife are retained from the start: razor-sharp, long-lasting cutting edge, high rust resistance, easily restored edge. Produced in 55 refined manufacturing steps, from forging through hardening and sharpening to polishing, and every perfectly made Classic knife passes more than 20 uncompromising quality control points. Particularly sharp thanks to the laser-guided Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) sharpening process. The final work done by hand by Wüsthof's experienced specialists gives extraordinary sharpness and fast, simple cutting. Comfortable and durable synthetic handle panels made of polyoxymethylene (POM), which has a denser molecular structure to resist fading and discolouration. The full bolster protects the hand, ensuring safety and even weight distribution. The robust handle panels are triple-riveted for durability.
Wüsthof technology offers outstanding sharpness: extremely high initial cutting performance, exceptionally long edge retention, long blade life, optimal cutting edge along the full length of the blade, and unique, consistently high and reproducible quality.
The Wüsthof Classic series holds 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 robust handle panels are fixed with stainless steel rivets.
• Full tang: the blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability. It also acts as a counterweight, balancing the blade.
• Precision double-serrated edge: the bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts a hard crust just as easily as soft bread, or large fruits such as pumpkin. The difference compared with a traditional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• Full bolster: the full finger guard reliably protects fingers during everyday cooking, and the balance makes work quick and precise.
• Fluted blade: during cutting, small air pockets form in the recesses of the blade. This means thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick.
• Butcher's knife: the distinctive new knife is perfectly suited to portioning meat and effortlessly cuts large fruits and vegetables. This specially designed model is an extremely artistic creation made of forged steel.
