With its bold profile and wide tip, the WÜSTHOF Classic 8" Artisan Butcher's Knife tackles the toughest home-butchering jobs with safety and efficiency. More versatile than your typical butcher's knife, the razor-sharp blade is ideal for all things carving, trimming, skinning, portioning, and slicing — it's also hefty enough to break down large fruit and vegetables. The hollow edge both reduces drag and prevents food from sticking to the blade, while the pronounced "belly" of the blade — the slight curvature in the centre — results in smooth, comfortable slicing. A full bolster provides optimal balance and helps protect your fingers from the blade, while the large, triple-riveted handle allows for a solid grip and superior durability.

Formulated for Optimal Sharpness

At WÜSTHOF's production factory in Solingen, Germany, forged knives are meticulously crafted through a process involving over fifty-four manufacturing steps. This process seamlessly blends innovative technology with the time-honored traditions of hand-made artisanship.

Each knife is:

Made from WÜSTHOF Steel, our proprietary blend of German steel is the optimal formula for durability fulfilling the strict requirements of an optimal 58° Rockwell.

20% sharper than your average knife thanks to our laser-assisted sharpening process.
