Product Description

Known worldwide for their superior performance, Wusthof knives are the cutlery of choice among many professionals and by discriminating amateur chefs. The classic Series features a traditional styling that makes it the most popular of the Wusthof lines. Every Wusthof classic Series knife is still forged from one piece of specially Tempered high carbon steel to ensure outstanding strength, balance and heft. The blades are formed with the perfect balance of high-carbon steel and a stain-resistant alloy so they retain their edge longer and are easier to resharpen. The blade is ground and polished by computer, ensuring perfect tapering from bolster to tip, and the edge is then hand honed for precision slicing. The sturdy feel of this knife is achieved by the weighted bolster, which is considered to be Wusthof signature feature. The tang runs through the synthetic handle and is secured with three rivets. Ideal companion to a chef's knife. What makes this different from a standard "Paring knife"? It's shaped more like a Japanese-style "petty knife", in that the blade is deeper (Wusthof says "wider", but that implies blade thickness. . . The blade is not thicker! ) at the heel, so it's shaped more like a small chef knife or Santoku, and not like a dagger-shaped (narrow) European-style utility knife. This gives you a bit more finger clearance so it really is more versatile and useful for small slicing/dicing jobs instead of just Paring. Very handy -- you'll love it!
