For the hobby and professional chef, the Wusthof chef's knife is indispensable. This knife is ideal for cutting fish, fruit, vegetables and meat. This knife stands out because of its handle made of Calabria olive wood. The wood grows sluggishly, but it lasts extremely long. It is water-repellent and antibacterial, making the knife safe to use. The wood comes from old olive trees, which no longer produce olives. Each knife is identical because of the wood. The paring knife () is formed from a single piece of Wusthof steel hardened to 58 Rockwell. The blade is made of stainless steel and is handmade by Wusthof's experienced knife makers. The blade is 9 centimetres long. The knife comes in handy every day to cut vegetables or for other tasks in the kitchen. The knife can be washed by hand after use.
