WÜSTHOF Classic Chinese Cooks Knife 18cm

WÜSTHOF Classic – The original for lovers of food

200 years of craftsmanship. Timeless design. Reliable performance.

Chinese Chef’s Knife will allow you to chop a cabbage or cut wafer-thin slices from a tomato in seconds, while the wide blade is also ideal for scooping up prepped ingredients and transferring them to the pot. The fine cutting edge ensures exceptional sharpness but should not be used on bones or hard fruits (such as coconuts). For those tasks, we recommend a Cleaver or Butcher’s Knife.

WÜSTHOF Classic offers the cutlery benchmark for tasks big and small. The traditional triple riveted design has been a favourite for professional chefs and home cooking enthusiasts for many generations. With perfect balance, this fully forged line performs with precision and ease.  Each WÜSTHOF knife is precision-forged from a single piece of chromium molybdenum-vanadium steel. This specialised high carbon, stain-resistant alloy ensures that the critical characteristics of each WÜSTHOF knife are there right from the beginning.

Balance and ergonomics – the special geometry with double bolster for balanced handling. Each blade features a striking double-bolster design, and the ergonomic handle, developed in consultation with professional chefs, rests perfectly in your hand for optimal performance and comfort. The knife weighs less, thanks to the slim bolster design. This allows energy-saving work. In addition, the design allows the whole blade to be used and resharpened.
