    A dramatic addition to your knife collection. Slim and razor-sharp, this all-purpose chef's knife makes short work of kitchen cutting tasks large and small. The diamond-like coating helps the black blade glide effortlessly through ingredients while adding a layer of hardness to the high-carbon stainless steel. Crafted with a textured honeycomb pattern that provides an anti-slip grip, the black handle looks stunning displayed in your knife block.

    Produced by skilled craftspeople in the knife-producing capital of the world, Wüsthof blades have been crafted in Solingen, Germany, for over 200 years.
