Wusthof - Classic 16 cm Utility Knife – Professional Kitchen Knife – 1040100716
The WÜSTHOF Classic 16 cm (6") Utility Knife is a professional kitchen knife designed for those who demand precision and control with every cut. More agile than a chef's knife yet larger than a paring knife, this utility knife is ideal for mid-sized tasks like chopping shallots and onions, mincing herbs, slicing tender vegetables, meats, cold cuts, and fruits — quickly becoming your everyday go-to knife within arm’s reach on the block.The blade is forged from a single piece of WÜSTHOF high-carbon stainless steel X50CrMoV15, hardened to 58 HRC for optimal edge retention, easy sharpening, and excellent corrosion resistance.Thanks to the laser-assisted PEtec sharpening, each knife leaves the factory with a highly uniform, razor-sharp edge, ensuring clean and precise cuts over time. The black POM handle, with triple rivets and full tang, provides a secure and balanced grip even during prolonged use.Manufactured in Solingen, the historic German city of blades, the 16 cm Classic Utility Knife embodies WÜSTHOF’s iconic quality: a reliable and long-lasting tool, perfect for both advanced home kitchens and professional use.
