Wusthof Classic Utility Knife 12cm

The Wusthof Classic Utility Knife is a super versatile knife that must be present in every kitchen. It is perfect for paring, mincing, and slicing all sorts of fruits and vegetables. One of its major advantages is that it is a knife easy to handle due to its relatively short blade and light weight. 

A multifunctional knife like this one must have a high-quality blade to be able to perform all its different tasks with great effectiveness. This is why the blade of this utility knife is made of X50CrMoV15 forged stainless steel, which is an alloy that guarantees strength and durability. In addition, the blade was hardened at 58 degrees Rockwell. In case you are not familiar with this term, Rockwell is a scale that measures the hardness of different objects. According to the Rockwell scale, all objects with values above 55 degrees are considered to have exceptional hardness. Therefore, the blade of this knife has a top level of hardness that ensures higher endurance of the knife.

Another very important part of this knife is its handle. With a length of 10.4 centimeters, the handle makes perfect balance with the blade that has a length of 11 centimeters. Moreover, the handle has the typical look of all Wusthof Classic knives' handles. This look is characterised by the black color and three rivets. The handle has an ergonomic design that is perfectly suitable for left and right-handed cooks, and it is made of POM, which is a high-quality synthetic material.

Being part of the Wusthof Classic series, this knife has also been certified by the NSF. The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) is a well-known organism that evaluates the manufacturing processes of thousands of products. Therefore, a certification by the NSF means that these knives have a seal of quality which proves that they comply with the highest standards of hygiene.

Other characteristic shared by all Wusthof Classic knives is that they have blades with extreme sharpness thanks to PEtec - Wusthof's PrecisionEdge Technology. This type of high-end technology provides the knife with a long-lasting superior sharpness by providing an optimum cutting edge along the entire length of the blade.

There is no doubt that all knives from the Wusthof Classic series are products of very high quality. This is why this is one of the most popular series, if not the most popular, of Wusthof's whole range of knives.
