Consider the chef's knife the hero of your kitchen — it's an all-rounder in food preparation that supports the widest variety of kitchen tasks. A great chef's knife makes slicing and dicing a pleasure, which is one of the many reasons it is often the most used, most important kitchen tool for home cooks and professional chefs. The Classic series has been the best-selling WÜSTHOF collection for generations, featuring blades precision-forged from a single piece of WÜSTHOF steel hardened to 58 Rockwell; stainless steel rivets for extra durability; and a full bolster for optimal balance and safety. The WÜSTHOF Classic 8" Chef's Knife is the ideal addition to any kitchen.
