The Wüsthof Classic Cook's Knife 23cm is an all-purpose board knife for chopping, slicing and dicing meat, vegetables and herbs.

Key Features

  • 23 cm blade sized for daily vegetable, herb and protein preparation
  • Fine straight edge
  • Precision-forged from a single piece of Wüsthof steel with a full tang and full bolster
  • Wüsthof stainless steel hardened to 58 HRC
  • Triple-riveted synthetic handle
  • 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 longer format rewards larger boards and higher prep volumes, giving extra reach through large produce and proteins. Within the Classic range, this model stands out for the benchmark Wüsthof line: planted, traditionally balanced and built for cooks who prefer a substantial forged knife.
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 specification pairs precision-forged from a single piece of Wüsthof steel with a full tang and full bolster and triple-riveted synthetic handle to shape balance, durability and maintenance in daily use.
