Smaller than a chef's knife and larger than a paring knife, the WÜSTHOF Gourmet Grey 6" Utility Knife is the perfect blade for a myriad of tasks. Think of this handy utility knife as a slightly longer, just-as-versatile paring knife with an aptitude for chopping shallots, onions, herbs, tender vegetables, and smaller cuts of meat. With a wonderful price-to-performance ratio, non-forged Gourmet knives carve a special place in the WÜSTHOF repertoire when it comes to their intuitive and lightweight handling. Every non-forged knife in the Gourmet series showcases typical WÜSTHOF high quality, with each blade laser-cut and toughened to a high degree of hardness at 56 Rockwell. The multi-step production process results in a nimble, lighter-weight version of its forged counterpart, making Gourmet knives an ideal entry point for new and seasoned cooks alike. The strong, long-lasting blade with a V-ground edge is precision-tapered from bolster to tip to maintain its shape, hold its edge, and make it easy to resharpen.  More durable and sanitary than wood, the high-impact, molded synthetic triple riveted handle is available in grey exclusively at House of Knives in Canada.
