The WÜSTHOF Classic 26 cm wide-blade chef’s knife is the ideal tool for those seeking a large, powerful, and stable professional knife for cutting board use. The extra-tall blade offers enhanced control during rocking cuts and provides knuckle clearance, making it easy to chop large quantities of vegetables, meat, and herbs with broad, confident motions.

Forged from a single piece of special WÜSTHOF X50CrMoV15 stainless steel and hardened to approx. 58 HRC, this knife combines excellent corrosion resistance, long-lasting edge retention, and easy resharpening. The ergonomic black POM handle, with triple rivets and full tang, ensures perfect balance even in the 26 cm format, reducing fatigue during extended kitchen work.

Like all knives in the Classic series, this model features precision PEtec sharpening technology and a full bolster for safety, delivering smooth and controlled cuts on meat, fish, large vegetables, and demanding prep tasks, whether in a high-end home kitchen or a professional environment.
