Wusthof 1025048112 Details

Give your kitchen an extra edge with this Wusthof 4045-7 Gourmet 4 1/2" utility knife with POM handle. This utility knife is great for mincing shallots, onions, and herbs, as well as cutting vegetables or small meats. Smaller than a cook's knife but larger than a paring knife, it is the perfect size for a variety of kitchen tasks. Wusthof's Gourmet line offers chefs the perfect mix of quality and value; all pieces are laser-cut stamped and feature durable POM handles to meet your every need.

All Wusthof Gourmet cutlery is laser-cut stamped for incredibly sharp blades that are easy to maintain. They are made of a high-carbon stainless steel that is resistant to staining and rust. 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. Blades in the Gourmet collection have all been tempered to 56 degrees on the Rockwell scale.

Founded in 1814 in Solingen, Germany, Wusthof is an expert knifemaker, family-owned for 7 generations. Known affectionately as the "The City of Blades," Solingen has been home to master blacksmiths for over 2,000 years. 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.
