Unmatched in design and quality, the WÜSTHOF Classic 8" Chef's Knife is the all-rounder - perfect for mincing, chopping, or cutting meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables. This chef's knife is an active participant in many kitchen tasks, makes food prepping pleasurable, and should be a part of every professional chef and home cook’s basic equipment.
A classic amongst the range of knives that belong in every kitchen: as well as bread, this knife is suitable for use on hard-skinned vegetables and fruit, as well as for roasts, especially those with crackling. The concave (inwardly curved), serrated edge of the knife works like the teeth of a saw, but is much finer, so no pressure is required to cut any sort of bread and even a hard crust will allow a clean cut.
While boning knives and cleavers are more suitable for coarser tasks, the flexible blade of the Fillet Knife was designed for wafer-thin filleting. Precision cutting of meat, loosening the fish fillet from the skin, or peeling fruit – these are the Fish Fillet Knife's special talents.
