The Wusthof Cook’s knife is the most essential part of a kitchen and it’s the most versatile. This knife is ideal for coarse or fine chopping of almost any type of food. The front of the blade is perfect for smaller chopping jobs. The middle part of the blade is perfect for both soft and hard foods, and its gentle curve allows you to mince herbs. The weight of the back part of the blade allows you to easily chop through firm foods. The wide flat surface of the blade allows you to easily lift up the chopped foods from the cutting board.
