Wusthof 6-in. Classic Hollow Edge Cook's Knife.

Here's a classic knife no kitchen should be without. This 6-inch cook's knife by Wusthof has smaller blade for easier control while in use. The 6-in. blade makes it ideal for accomplishing all kinds of tasks. Use it for slicing eggplant, dicing potatoes or mincing fresh parsley. The special, slightly curved shape of the blade provides a rocking motion as you cut. The Hollow ground edge allows air pockets to form while cutting so foods will stick less to the blade.

Wusthof's newest state of the art technology incorporates a new computer controlled method for putting the edge on Classic knives. This technology allows for an exacting edge from the tip of the knife down to the heel of the knife. With this newer precision, the knives are made sharper to 14 degrees per side for a total of 28 degrees. The knives are now sharper and this refinement increases the sharpness retention because exacting angles and edges last longer than edges sharpened by hand. The result is a knife that is 30% sharper and the ICP (Initial Cutting Performance) lasts twice as long.
