Once you own a knife like this, you'll be surprised at the difference a really good knife can make.Wusthof Classics feature thick bolsters with complete finger guards, triple-riveted full-tang handles, and multi-functional blade surfaces designed cleave, crush, and pound as efficiently as they cut. Drop forged and perfectly balanced, the blade is forged from one solid piece of steel, tempered to the optimum 58° Rockwell for durability.
