Description: A company with a rich heritage, the WUSTHOF factory was first listed in official documents in 1814. Six generations later Wolfgang Wusthof, Chief Executive, upholds family tradition. The Dreizak trademark, which translates to TRIDENT - the legendary spear of Neptune - was registered with the Imperial Patent Office in Berlin in 1895. Today, the TRIDENT is protected and recognized in almost every country in the world. In 38 major manufacturing steps from forging to tempering, to grinding and polishing, the WUSTHOF knife is created. Quality all the way!
The Wusthof Classic 8 inch demi-bolster chef’s knife (1040130120) is a lighter weight version of the classic 8 inch, full bolster chef’s knife. By removing the bolster that travels down to the heel of the blade, the knife is more easily sharpened and reduces weight by almost 2 ounces!
The 8 inch chef’s knife is the ultimate kitchen tool. This knife alone can tackle almost any cutting job, from finely mincing garlic or shallots to cubing large portions of meat for stew, or chiffonade leafy greens. The thin and sharp tip can also be utilized for more detailed work like coring tomatoes or removing small bad spots in fruits and vegetables. The gentle curve to the blades edge is perfect for all styles of cutting: a push cut, straight chop or slicing motion all work wonders. It has enough height to keep fingers and knuckles clear of the board when mincing herbs or garlic.
The handle is Polyoxymetholene (POM) set on a full tang with three rivets. POM is a synthetic thermoplastic that holds up very well to the stresses of heat, moisture, impact, and acids. The half bolster provides excellent balance with less hand fatigue.
The 8 inch blade is crafted from X50CrMoV15 stainless steel (58 Hrc) and features a satin finish. An exacting chemical makeup of carbon, chromium, molybdenum and vanadium provide excellent corrosion resistance and a long lasting edge that is easy to resharpen.
Made in Solingen, Germany.
