Wusthof Germany - Classic 18 cm Utility Knife - Professional Kitchen Knife - 1040100718
The WÜSTHOF Classic 18 cm (7-inch) Utility Knife is a slim, versatile blade that fits perfectly between a large chef’s knife and a small paring knife — the ideal everyday helper for a wide range of kitchen cutting tasks.More agile than a chef’s knife and more capable than a simple paring knife, it’s perfect for chopping shallots and onions, mincing herbs, slicing tender vegetables, cold cuts, small cuts of meat, and fruit. Forged from a single piece of special X50CrMoV15 stainless steel and hardened to around 58 HRC, it offers the ideal balance between cutting performance, edge retention, resharpening ease, and corrosion resistance — hallmarks of the Classic line made in Solingen.The PEtec laser-guided sharpening gives the blade a long-lasting, razor-sharp edge for clean, effortless, and controlled cuts. The ergonomic black POM handle with triple rivets and full tang provides a secure grip and excellent balance, while the slim blade profile makes the 18 cm Classic Utility Knife an outstanding choice for both advanced home cooking and professional use — especially where clean, even cuts and great maneuverability are essential.
