Description
This Wusthof 1040136812 Classic Asian Utility Knife has a black, triple-riveted handle. The blade measures 4-1/2 inches. In fact, this Classic Asian Utility Knife is great for small dicing, chopping, mincing, and quartering. The modified santoku style blade has a more defined point. Moreover, this more pointed blade lends itself to more defined cutting.
This is a forged knife. Forging makes the metal harder so the knife stays sharp longer. Also this knife has a bolster which protects the fingers and gives the knife a solid, balanced feel.
The knife has a full tang. This means the forged metal extends to the end of the handle. This provides maximum strength as well as balance. Wusthof hones the blade twice by hand, laser testing provides extreme sharpness.
Computer-controlled grinding and polishing procedures result in a precise tapering from bolster to tip and from back to edge. The blade is stainless, and has a long-lasting cutting edge. A 0.5 percent carbon content in the blade is significant for sharpness. It also helps edge retention, and in the honing of the blade.
There is a seamless, totally hygienic fit between the handle, bolster and full tang. Painstaking quality controls follow each step of the 40 step process.
WÜSTHOF etches their name and the Trident logo onto every blade as a symbol of quality. Wusthof has made their knives in the world’s “cutlery capital” of Solingen, Germany since 1814.
