Wusthof Gourmet Cook's Knife

The extra width provides more knuckle clearance and surface area, which is particularly helpful when scooping up chopped ingredients or working with larger vegetables like cabbage or squash.

While the knife is technically dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand washing. High-heat cycles and harsh detergents can dull the blade edge prematurely and potentially damage the handle material over time.

A 14-degree dual-bevel is sharper than the standard 20-degree angle found on many western knives. This thinner geometry allows for cleaner, more effortless slices, though it requires slightly more care to maintain its edge.

The tang is the metal portion of the blade that extends into the handle. A full-length, triple-riveted design ensures the knife is well-balanced, sturdy, and less likely to break or loosen under heavy use.

Yes, the POM handle is designed for durability and a secure grip. Its ergonomic shape is balanced by the full bolster, which helps reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks like mincing or dicing.

At 56° Rockwell, this steel is hard enough to hold a sharp edge but soft enough to be easily maintained with a standard honing steel. You can use most high-quality manual or electric sharpeners compatible with a 14-degree edge.
