Wusthof Partner Utility Knife

While a chef's knife is designed for general chopping and dicing, this utility knife features a 5.5-inch serrated blade specifically engineered to grip and slice through tough exteriors—like crusty bread or tomato skins—without crushing the delicate interior.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. High-heat cycles and harsh detergents can damage the blade's edge and the handle material, so we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately after use to maintain its longevity.

A full tang means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, stability, and durability, ensuring the knife feels sturdy and controlled in your hand during precise prep work.

No, this is a utility knife designed for slicing soft fruits, cured meats, and bread. It is not intended for heavy-duty tasks like butchery or cutting through bone, which could damage the serrated edge.

Serrated blades require less frequent sharpening than straight edges, but they do eventually dull. You will need a specialized sharpener designed for serrated edges or a sharpening rod to maintain the performance of the individual teeth.
