Design The knife features a sleek, contoured handle that lacks the sharp angles of traditional cutlery, fitting naturally into the palm for "off-the-board" tasks. The signature double-bolster design adds a weighted element to the heel of the handle, providing a counter-balance that makes the 3.5-inch blade feel incredibly nimble and responsive.

Durability Precision-forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, the blade is tempered to a 58 Rockwell hardness for long-lasting edge retention. The triple-riveted handle is made from a highly durable synthetic material (POM) that resists fading, discoloration, and heat, ensuring the tool remains a kitchen staple for decades.

Care and Maintenance To protect the razor-sharp edge and the polished finish of the bolsters, this knife should be hand washed with mild soap and dried immediately. While the handle material is robust, the high heat and harsh chemicals of a dishwasher can dull the blade and eventually compromise the structural integrity of the rivets.

Notable Features Utilizing WUSTHOF’s Precision Edge Technology (PEtec), the blade is buffed to an incredibly sharp finish that is 20% sharper than previous models. The half-bolster design allows you to sharpen the entire length of the blade, from the tip to the heel, ensuring you get maximum utility out of the steel over its lifetime.
