The Wusthof Crafter 8” Chef’s Knife all-purpose blade is the most important tool in the Crafter series and can conquer any challenge in the kitchen. Chop, slice, dice, shred, and mince with ease using this essential knife. With its new wide blade, the knife is ideal for creating a rocking motion to ensure the edge glides easily through food. The half bolster reduces the weight of the knife and allows the entire length of the blade to be used while cutting. The rustic and exceptionally high-quality Crafter series from Wusthof evokes and celebrates the spirit of old-world craftsmanship with traditional blade shapes, authentic brass rivets, and smoked oak handles. Especially eye-catching is the water-resistant smoked oak handle featuring one-of-a-kind grain patterns, a branded trident logo, and beautiful brass rivets. With the use of Wusthof’s high-carbon stain-free steel, precision-forged construction, and famed Precision Edge Technology, all the Wusthof Crafter knives have incredible edge-retention, durability, balance due to a full tang, and corrosion resistance.
