Perfectly balanced, an extension of your hand, it’s ideal for slicing, mincing, and dicing all kinds of food, and it’s complemented by a the paring knife for smaller tasks such as peeling and coring.

Culinar knives embody all the virtues of other Wusthof knives that have earned the German manufacturer world renown. The principal parts of a Wusthof knife–blade, bolster, and tang–are forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, and the blade is precisely tapered from bolster to tip and from back to hand-honed edge. Blades and beautifully formed bolsters are not as thick as some knives’. As a result, despite their heft, strength, and durability, Wusthof knives are pleasingly delicate and marvelously balanced in action.

Made in Solingen, Germany–The Cutlery Capital of the World–Wusthof knives are made from a special blend of German steel and each blade is precisely tempered, which allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen without the need to be sent away for maintenance. Wusthof also employs a unique compound angle that tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge.

Generally, the construction technique and the materials used to manufacture make all Wusthof knives dishwasher safe, but handwashing is recommended. Wash your knives with warm water and a little detergent, rinse carefully and dry with a towel. Corrosive food particles will not affect your blade if washed off directly after use. Backed by a lifetime warranty.
