Cook's knives are indispensable kitchen helpers. They perform a wide variety of cutting chores, from mincing to dicing and slicing. This 6-inch cook's knife by wusthof is no exception. The knife provides sufficient heft to allow the knife rather than the cook to do most of the cutting labor. Use it for anything from chopping potatoes and carrots for a stew to slicing onions, peppers, mushrooms, and more for a stir-fry or to layer onto a homemade pizza.
Like all knives in wusthof's Classic series, the knife's blade, tang, and bolster come precision forged from a single piece of precisely tempered, high-carbon, stain-resistant steel. The knife's hand-polished blade is exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when it's honed or sharpened. Traditional in look, Classic knives are seamlessly constructed with a visible full tang triple-riveted into an ergonomically-shaped synthetic handle. Though the knife is dishwasher-safe, wusthof recommends hand-washing all fine cutlery. Made in Germany, the knife measures approximately 11 by 2 by 3/5 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty.
