Wusthof Culinar Cooks Knife, 6-Inch

Combining the maneuverability of a paring knife with the strength and weight of a larger cook’s knife, this Wusthof Culinar 6-inch cook’s knife provides sufficient heft to allow the knife rather than the cook to do most of the cutting labor. Its relatively small blade length makes it ideal for slicing, cubing, and all but the largest chopping jobs. Part of the Culinar cutlery line, it’s distinguished from other Wusthof lines by its elegant satin-finish handles sculpted from 18/10 stainless steel.

Culinar knives embody all the virtues of other Wusthof knives that have earned the German manufacturer world renown. The principal parts of a Wusthof knife–blade, bolster, and tang–are forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, and the blade is precisely tapered from bolster to tip and from back to hand-honed edge. Blades and beautifully formed bolsters are not as thick as some knives’. As a result, despite their heft, strength, and durability, Wusthof knives are pleasingly delicate and marvelously balanced in action.

Made in Solingen, Germany–The Cutlery Capital of the World–Wusthof knives are made from a special blend of German steel and each blade is precisely tempered, which allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen without the need to be sent away for maintenance. Wusthof also employs a unique compound angle that tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge.

Generally, the construction technique and the materials used to manufacture make all Wusthof knives dishwasher safe, but handwashing is recommended. Wash your knives with warm water and a little detergent, rinse carefully and dry with a towel. Corrosive food particles will not affect your blade if washed off directly after use. Backed by a lifetime warranty.
