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. With brass riveting, handles made from luxurious smoked oak, and blades forged from a single piece of WÜSTHOF steel, the Crafter series is what happens when over 200 years of knife production meets the modern home kitchen. The WÜSTHOF Crafter 8" Chef's Knife, with its distinctly lightweight half bolster, is an ideal addition to any kitchen.
