Small, versatile knife with slim blade and plain edge: this paring knife is the second most important knife to have in the kitchen. The small narrow blade tapers to a point at the tip and is easy to handle making it the perfect knife to trim and slice and peel small produce such as garlic cloves and herbs.

The utility knife is smaller than a chef's knife but larger than a paring knife, making it the perfect knife for a magnitude of tasks. A utility knife is much like a versatile paring knife and is perfect for mincing shallots, onions, and herbs as well as cutting vegetables or small meats.

What a cook’s knife is for European kitchens, the Santoku is for Japan and the whole of Asia: so versatile in shape, weight and edge that it can be used for mincing and chopping herbs, vegetables and fruit as well as for preparing fish and meat. The sharp blade of a Santoku allows anything from regular to wafer-thin cuts - it is therefore now indispensable in kitchens all around the world.

The all-rounder: for mincing, chopping, or cutting meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables. The Chef's Knife is an active participant in many kitchen tasks, makes food prepping pleasurable, and is part of every professional and home cook’s basic equipment. The half bolster, the junction between handle and blade, reduces the weight of the knife, making it easier to handle. It also allows the entire blade to be sharpened more easily.

Wusthof’s precise, double-serrated edge makes a clear difference with this bread knife: in contrast with a single-serrated edge, this knife has serrations within the serrations, meaning that it remains sharp for longer, requires less pressure and is suitable for very precise, smooth cuts. Bread with a hard crust is not crushed when sliced with this double-serrated blade, while bread with a soft crust is also sliced cleanly, without any tearing of the delicate surface.

Ideal for cutting clean slices through as many different ingredients as possible: for large fruits and vegetables, meat, or a smooth cut through cakes, pies, and bread, the outwardly-curved, serrated edge of the Super Slicer blade allows for very fine cuts and prevents the foodstuffs from tearing or crumbling.

The Crafter series is inspired by traditional artisans and skilled craftsmen and designed for modern men with a passion for craftsmanship. Triple brass rivets and full tang provide high durability and control. Rich-smoked oak handles are branded with the Wusthof logo. This set of four 4.5 in. steak knives are extremely sharp and balanced for effortless cutting.

As the name -Crafter- suggests, these are robust knives built for heavy use and hard work. With brass riveting, handles made from luxurious smoked oak, and blades forged from a single piece of WUSTHOF steel, the Wusthof Crafter series is what happens when over 200 years of knife production meets the modern home kitchen.
