The Wusthof Crafter 6" Utility Knife is smaller than a cook’s knife but larger than a paring knife, making it the perfect tool for a multitude 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 thin slices of meat like ham and roasts. 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, and corrosion resistance.
