Add the Wusthof 8-in. Classic Cook's Knife to your kitchen accessories for perfect slicing and dicing results every time. A great starter knife for the beginning chef, this high-carbon stainless steel knife is crafted by one of the world's leading knife makers and will hold up over time without breaking, rusting or losing its edge. Because the metal of the blade extends into the handle, this knife feels perfectly balanced each time you pick it up, making it a popular choice for home cooks and professional chefs alike. The edge of the 8-inch knife is sharper than ever due to new computer-controlled edging techniques. The new knife is 30 percent sharper and will last twice as long before it needs to be sharpened. The edge extends the length of the blade and easily handles onions, tomatoes, celery, and other tough-skinned vegetables. The bolster (back) of this blade is properly blunted and smooth, allowing for endless vegetable dicing. The sturdy polypropylene handle is ergonomically designed to fit in your hand for comfortable kitchen prep time. Best Used For: Slicing, dicing and chopping vegetables, fruits, and other ingredients. This multifunction knife can also be used for disjointing chicken or slicing fresh beef, among other meats.
