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 slightly longer, equally versatile paring 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 knife series, with 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. Blade forged from a single piece of stainless (X50CrMoV15) steel, 58 HRC hardness, with a 29° edge angle. This special, high-carbon, corrosion-resistant alloy ensures that all the critical properties of every Wüsthof knife are retained from the start: 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-controlled Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) sharpening process. The final hand-finishing by Wüsthof's experienced specialists provides extreme sharpness and fast, easy 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 balanced weight distribution. The sturdy 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 is NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certified for public health and food safety.
• Hand guard – The ergonomic knife handle fits well in the hand, and the curved handle end prevents slipping. The sturdy 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 unique double-serrated edge of this bread knife cuts hard crust as easily as soft bread, or large fruits such as pumpkin. The difference compared to a conventional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• Full bolster – The full finger guard reliably protects the fingers during everyday cooking, and the balance makes for quick and accurate work.
• Fluted blade – Small air pockets form at the indentations of the blade during cutting. This means thin or soft foods are more easily released 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 exceptionally artistic creation in forged steel.
