Wusthof Partner Chef’s Knife

The half-bolster design allows you to sharpen the entire length of the blade from heel to tip, making maintenance easier. It also reduces the knife's overall weight, which can help prevent hand fatigue during longer prep sessions.

While this knife is robust enough for most everyday kitchen tasks, it is designed primarily for precision work like chopping, dicing, and slicing. For heavy-duty tasks involving bone or frozen foods, a dedicated cleaver or a heavier-duty knife is a safer choice to protect the blade's edge.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. High heat and harsh detergents can damage the handle material and dull the blade's edge prematurely. We recommend hand washing with warm water and mild soap, then drying it immediately.

A full tang means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This construction provides superior balance, stability, and strength, ensuring the handle won't snap off or loosen over time.

A hardness rating of 58 HRC strikes an ideal balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening. It is hard enough to hold a sharp edge through daily use, but not so brittle that it becomes difficult to hone or sharpen at home.
