The Wusthof Crafter 6" Utility Knife is smaller than a cook’s knife but larger than a paring knife, making it the perfect tool for a multitude of tasks. A utility knife is much like a versatile paring knife and is perfect for mincing shallots, onions and herbs, as well as cutting vegetables or thin slices of meat like ham and roasts.

Each knife in the Crafter series celebrates the spirit of old-world craftmanship with traditional blade shapes; authentic brass rivets and natural smoked oak handles. Forged from a single piece of high carbon stainless steel, each Crafter blade is tempered to a 58º Rockwell Hardness for lasting edge retention, integral blade strength, and ease of maintenance.

Features:

• Designed to cut very thin slices of hard ingredients, especially from smaller meats and vegetables
• 16 cm (6” blade length)
• Triple brass rivets and full tang provide durability and control
• The handle is made from water-resistant smoked oak, which gives the knife an unmistakeable character with its individual grain as well as the authentic Wusthof logo
• PEtec – Wusthof’s Precision Edge Technology creates long lasting sharpness with double the edge retention
• Wash by hand only
• Crafted in the historic cutlery centre of Solingen, Germany
