Overview
A prep counter with shallots, onions, herbs and tender vegetables is where this Wusthof earns its place. The blade is forged high carbon stainless steel with a plain edge, and the handle is a resilient synthetic.
The length lands in the middle of the range, which makes it a quick choice for detail work on a cutting board. The listing mixes a German item name, a size in centimeters and a material field that says wood.
Who it's for
A home cook who finds a chef's knife too big and a paring knife too small is the target. Anyone who needs to confirm the exact blade length or handle material should check with the seller first.
Pros and cons
- Forged high carbon stainless steel
- Plain edge for precise cuts
- Handles small prep tasks
- Lightweight in hand
- Size listed three ways
- Material field contradicts handle
- Warranty not listed
Performance notes
A forged blade is cut and shaped from a single bar, which gives a firm spine and a balanced feel. The plain edge slices cleanly through soft vegetables, and the mid-length blade offers extra reach with little bulk. Edge life depends on honing and the cutting surface.
