Description
The full bolster on a Wusthof Classic Chef's Knife 20CM means that the knife is heavier, and therefore more durable. The reduced bolster shape and thinner edge of the blade also make it possible to use and sharpen the entire blade. The alloy of the blade is also specialised for sharpness and easy resharpenability. The triple riveted ergonomic handle is durable and still looks stylish.
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 as making it possible to use and sharpen the entire blade.
- Each Wusthof knife is drop forged from a single piece of 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
All knife measurements are for the blade only, not the handle.
