The Wüsthof Classic Cook's Knife 16cm is an all-purpose board knife for chopping, slicing and dicing meat, vegetables and herbs.

Key Features

  • 16 cm blade sized for daily vegetable, herb and protein preparation
  • Fine straight edge
  • Precision-forged Classic construction with full tang and full bolster
  • Wüsthof stainless steel hardened to 58 HRC
  • Colour-finished synthetic handle with stainless-steel rivets
  • Made in Solingen, Germany

Why Choose This Product

Choose this as the knife that will perform most daily preparation. It offers more board clearance and cutting reach than a utility knife while remaining considerably more agile than a cleaver. Its compact format favours manoeuvrability, smaller boards and precise tip work. Within the Classic Colour range, this model stands out for full Classic cutting performance with a distinctive handle colour that is easy to identify in a busy kitchen.
Simply Hospitality Notes

Choose blade size by board space and prep volume, not by prestige. A comfortable pinch grip and enough knuckle clearance matter more in daily use than simply buying the longest blade.

Product Guide

Use a pinch grip at the heel of the blade and work on a stable board. Rock through herbs and rounded vegetables, or use controlled forward slices for proteins; do not scrape the sharp edge sideways across the board.

Brand Guide

About Wüsthof: Wüsthof has made knives in Solingen, Germany since 1814. Its collection ranges from lighter laser-cut Gourmet knives to precision-forged Classic, Ikon, Crafter, Performer and newer everyday lines, allowing cooks to choose by weight, handle feel and finish rather than brand name alone. Quality edges should be hand washed, dried immediately and maintained regularly.

Product Details

Its broad blade provides knuckle clearance and supports both rocking and straight slicing, making it the natural centrepiece of a working knife kit. The Classic Colour specification pairs precision-forged Classic construction with full tang and full bolster and colour-finished synthetic handle with stainless-steel rivets to shape balance, durability and maintenance in daily use.
