Further manufacturer information:
A Wüsthof Classic utility knife, smaller than a chef's knife but larger than a paring knife, is the perfect blade for countless tasks. Think of this practical knife as a somewhat longer, equally versatile chopping knife, suitable for chopping spring onions, onions, herbs, tender vegetables and smaller pieces of meat.
Ideal for cutting fruit, ham, meat, roasts, dry or semi-dry sausage, and vegetables.

Wüsthof Classic series
Robust, sharp and functional – the classic kitchen tool series, which includes more than 70 different blade shapes (blade lengths from 6 to 36 cm), stands out for its ease of use, and is the right tool for every home cook and professional. Forged from a single piece of stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel with a hardness of 58 HRC and a 29° edge angle. This special, high-carbon, corrosion-resistant alloy ensures that the critical properties of every Wüsthof knife are retained from the outset: razor-sharp, long-lasting cutting edge, high rust resistance, easily restored edge. Made in 55 refined production steps: from forging through hardening and sharpening to polishing, and every perfectly manufactured Classic knife passes more than 20 uncompromising quality control points. Particularly sharp thanks to the laser-guided sharpening process of Precision Edge Technology (PEtec). The final hand finishing by Wüsthof's experienced specialists gives extreme sharpness, quick and easy cutting. Comfortable, 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 an 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 a unique, consistently high and reproducible quality.
The Wüsthof Classic series holds the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certificate 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 secured with stainless steel rivets.
• Full tang – The blade runs through the handle, providing reliable stability for the knife. It also acts as a counterweight, balancing the blade.
• Precision double-serrated edge – The bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts through a hard crust as easily as soft bread, or large fruit such as pumpkin. The difference compared with a traditional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• Full bolster – The full finger guard reliably protects the fingers during everyday cooking, and the balance makes quick and precise work easier.
• Ribbed blade – Small air pockets form during cutting at the hollows of the blade. The positive effect is that thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick to it.
• Butcher's knife – This distinctive new knife is perfectly suited to portioning meat, and effortlessly cuts large fruit and vegetables. This specially designed model is an extremely artistic creation in forged steel.
