The Wüsthof Gourmet 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
  • Laser-cut stamped blade for lighter, more agile handling
  • Wüsthof stainless steel hardened to 56 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 compact format favours manoeuvrability, smaller boards and precise tip work. Within the Gourmet range, this model stands out for a lighter and more accessible Wüsthof option for cooks who value speed and low fatigue over the weight of a forged blade.
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 Gourmet specification pairs laser-cut stamped blade for lighter, more agile handling and triple-riveted synthetic handle to shape balance, durability and maintenance in daily use.
