Ideal for cutting nearly anything, this knife capably slices, dices, minces, and chops meats, vegetables, fruit, and herbs with effortless ease. This all-purpose chef's knife is an indispensable companion for any kitchen. The 6 inch size is suited for providing more leverage than the 5 inch, while being more wieldy than the 7 inch.
Laser-tested by Wüsthof, each hand-honed cutting edge is 30% sharper than most other knives and maintains blade precision better as well. As a member of the distinguished Wüsthof Ikon line, this knife combines the best and brightest features of all the other Wüsthof lines. Form and function unite in harmony in the weighted, double bolster that delivers ultimate cutting control and balance while leaving a lasting visual impression with its strikingly elegant appearance. The precision forward bolster of the Wusthof cook's knife makes the complete length of the blade accessible, allowing for effortless sharpening of the entire edge, as well as full use of the blade while slicing, mincing, dicing and chopping.
Constructed using the finest African Blackwood (also known as Grenadill), the contoured, ergonomically-designed handle is complete with a full tang and triple-riveting that provide permanent security as well as comfort. As the world's densest wood and also one of the world's hardest, African Blackwood offers greatly reduced expansion and contraction over other woods. The harvesting of this wood is strictly controlled by the local government to ensure sustainability and environmental stability. Wüsthof adds the final touch to this work of art in etching their distinctive logo into the end of the handle. Hand wash only.
