Wusthof 1040134318 Details

Give your kitchen an extra edge with this Wusthof 1040134318 Classic 7" forged craftsman hollow edge cook's knife with POM handle. Inspired by farm-to-table cooking, this craftsman cook's knife boasts a hybrid design that combines the features of a chef's knife, boning knife, and carving knife. The wide belly helps with rocking cuts, while the clip-point tip makes it easy to move around joints for de-boning and filleting. This cook's knife features a hollow edge with evenly spaced vertical indentations that create small air pockets between the blade and food in order to reduce friction and drag. Wusthof's best-selling line for generations, the Classic collection features a wide range of premium, forged cutlery with POM handles to meet a kitchen's every need.

All Wusthof Classic cutlery is forged in a 40-step process that begins with a single blank of high carbon stainless steel. Each piece of Classic cutlery features a full tang that is triple-riveted to the handle, offering the user precision-level control. They also feature a full bolster and finger guard for optimal, comfortable use. Each piece features a durable polyoxymethylene (POM) handle stickered with the red Trident logo. POM has a tighter molecular structure than many handle material options, which allows it to resist fading and discoloration. Wusthof's Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) yields a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention, which helps keep your cutlery sharp and minimizes downtime spent honing and sharpening edges. Blades in the Classic collection have all been tempered to 58 degrees on the Rockwell scale.

Founded in 1814 in Solingen, Germany, Wusthof is an expert knifemaker, family-owned for 7 generations.

With such an illustrious history, the name Solingen is protected by "The Solingen Decree," which ensures and indicates the exacting standards of knives made in the area. The company's red trident represents its three core values professional chefs can expect to encounter in every Wusthof blade: passion, diligence, and perfection.
