Description

Chef Knife

The chef's knife is the favorite knife of every professional and amateur cook, and not without reason. It perhaps has the most uses of any other kitchen knife, as you can use it to cut large portions, chop or slice everything from vegetables and fruits to meat and fish. Its wide blade and curved edge make it ideal for quick chopping through the well-known rocking motion. The thickness of the blade at the spine is enough to give you the weight and power you need, while its length covers a wide range of daily tasks.

Blade Material

The blade is made from a single piece of surgical steel containing chromium-molybdenum-vanadium (X50 Cr MoV 15).

X50 Cr MoV 15 is a widely used steel in many kitchen knives, and its composition includes approximately 0.5% carbon (X50), which provides hardness to the knife's edge, and approximately 15% chromium (Cr), which gives corrosion resistance.

Additionally, it contains a small percentage of molybdenum (Mo) and vanadium (V), which offer improved wear resistance and edge retention.

The Wusthof knife is designed to provide reliable cutting performance and long-lasting durability.

The blade's hardness rating is 56 (±1) HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).

Handle

The handle is made of durable synthetic material which offers durability, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance. The three rivets on the handle of the knife contribute to increased stability and control during use.

Cutting board

It is recommended to make cuts on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable, as they can cause permanent damage to the knife blades.

Cleaning

Wash the knife with warm water before using it for the first time. After each use, make sure to wash the knife without delay (with a simple detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you must wash the knife immediately after use.

For your safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from the edge, with a cloth or towel.

It is not recommended to wash it in the dishwasher but by hand, in order to protect its material and maintain its sharpness for a long time.

Sharpening

No matter how sharp a knife is initially, after some use it needs sharpening, which you can achieve with a sharpener, whetstone, or honing rod.

You can tell if your knife cuts well with an easy test using the knife and a piece of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut a piece of paper. In contrast, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and its cut will be jagged.

It is also recommended to occasionally have your knives sharpened by a professional to repair any potential damage to the blade edge and to maintain sharpness.

    For this money, I expected it to cut much better than a €1.5 knife, it cuts better but not as much as I expected.

    This review is about type: Cleaver, dimension: 16 cm

    I use it amateurly for roasted lamb and pork! I had bought 2 cheaper ones in the past and no matter what I cut, their tip would dull! This brand, Wusthof, is obviously much better, its tip doesn't dull easily and with one stroke, you can easily cut 4-5 whole roasted lamb or pork. It is heavy and has a convenient handle with a tooth-like grip at the back to hold it better and prevent it from slipping forward. It is a bit pricey, I believe it was purchased for €78.90, but I think it's worth it because you can do your job effortlessly, without struggling like with the others I had, with every cut and stroke! With this, you forget about sharpening! As a tool, it has a good and thick blade, it is easily maneuverable and doesn't dull easily for an expensive price, but you get what you pay for

    Excellent (for its value) knife from the best (in my opinion) company in the world.
    Attention, if you are not used to it, because it cuts dangerously.

    I was swayed by the reviews, another knife of the Victorinox brand at half the price cuts perfectly
