---DETAILS---

WÜSTHOF knives have been manufactured in the city of Solingen, Germany since 1814. The company, which is still run by the founding family, takes quality very seriously – which explains why their knives consistently feature in 'best of' lists. This WÜSTHOF Classic Asian Utility Knife features a uniquely curved straight-edge blade that works for low rocking cuts requiring moderate heft and precise balance, as well as for closer hand work that demands a razor-sharp edge and outstanding agility. The pointed tip is useful for detail work as well. It's the ideal size and shape for numerous food prep tasks and ingredients, including small- and medium-sized fruits, vegetables, and cheeses. It's also handy for trimming meats and poultry.

---BENEFITS---

'In a Western-style knife, the weight of a blade does a lot of work, especially when cutting tough ingredients (meat with bones, swedes, or pineapples, for example). WÜSTHOF has mastered the balance between the weight of the blade and the handle, on top of having sharp and durable blades with excellent edge retention. The result is knives that are comfortable to hold and easy to control.'
