Cutlery - Chefs Knives

WÜSTHOF'S best-selling collection for generations, CLASSIC full-tang knives are precision-forged from a single piece of an exclusive high-carbon stain-free steel. CLASSIC knives feature a new handle design made of a highly durable synthetic material -- Polyoxymethylene (POM) -- which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration.

The CLASSIC 8" cook's knife is the workhorse of the kitchen, or the essential kitchen knife. The cook's knife is an indispensable all-purpose kitchen knife that can be used for chopping, mincing, slicing and dicing. Due to the weight and balance of the knife, it is also perfect for heavy duty work such as cutting thicker vegetables and meats.

Product Highlights:

• Precision-forged from a single blank of high carbon stain-free steel.
• Full tang that is triple riveted to the handle for precise control.

• Tempered to 58° Rockwell.
• Full bolster and finger guard.
• Comfortable and highly-durable polyoxymethylene (POM) handle with a traditional look and feel.
