Wusthof: 10-in. Classic Cook's Knife.

The Chef's Knife is the most important kitchen knife. The wide flat surface of the blade is suitable for flattening and shaping of meat cuts such as filets. The sturdy spine of the blade can be used to break up small bones or shellfish. The front of the blade is suitable for many smaller, precise cutting jobs. It is particularly useful for chopping onions, mushrooms, garlic and other small vegetables.

Each WÜSTHOF knife is precision forged from a single piece of chrom-molybdenum-vanadium steel. This specialized high carbon, stain-resistant alloy ensures that the critical characteristics of each WÜSTHOF knife are there right from the beginning:

• razor sharp
• long-lasting cutting edge
• high stain resistance
• easily restorable edge
