Description
The full bolster on a Wusthof Classic Chef's Knife 16CM means that the knife is weighted more, which in turn protects your fingers when sharpening. The reduced bolster shape and thinner edge of the blade also make it possible to use and sharpen the entire blade. The alloy used in the blade ensures that the cutting edge is razor sharp and easy to resharpen. The ergonomic synthetic handle is triple riveted for durability and still retains its stylish looks.
Full Bolster: adds extra weight to the knife, and protects fingers when sharpening.
Half Bolster: the reduced bolster shape and thinner edge of the blade reduce the weight of the knife by 30% as well asmaking it possible to use and sharpen the entire blade.
Each Wusthof knife is drop forged from a single piece of chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel for maximum strength, balance and heft. This specialised high-carbon, stain resistant alloy ensures that the cutting edge of the knife is razor sharp and also easy to resharpen. A computer controlled grinding and polishing of the blade also ensures there is perfect tapering from bolster to tip.
The full tang knife is beautifully sandwiched by a synthetic, ergonomic handle that's been triple riveted for durability yet still retains its stylish looks and smoothness. The perfectly weighted full bolster gives the knife its heft and protects your fingers too.
Caution: Cook's knives purposely have been ground extra thin for the ultimate cutting performance. Chopping through bones will damage the fine edge.
All knife measurements are for the blade only, not the handle.
