Experience the World's Most Trusted Cook's Knife, Made in Solingen Since 1814
The Wüsthof Classic Cook's Knife 20cm is the benchmark by which all other chef's knives are measured - forged in Solingen, Germany from a single piece of high-alloy steel, sharpened with Precision Edge Technology, and trusted by professional chefs in kitchens across the world for over two centuries.
The Specs
Steel: X50CrMoV15 high-alloy steel, forged from a single piece - 58 HRC
Edge: PEtec (Precision Edge Technology) - double-ground to 14° each side
Wüsthof has been forging knives in Solingen - the knife-making capital of Germany - since 1814. The Classic Cook's Knife is the cornerstone of that legacy. Forged from a single piece of X50CrMoV15 high-alloy steel, the blade, bolster, and tang are one continuous piece for exceptional balance and durability. PEtec sharpening uses a laser-controlled process to grind the edge to a precise 14° on each side - sharper out of the box and longer-lasting than conventionally sharpened knives. The wide, curved blade handles slicing, dicing, chopping, and mincing across every ingredient with equal authority. The full-tang, triple-riveted synthetic handle is comfortable, durable, and won't harbour bacteria.
Care & Maintenance
Hand wash recommended - dishwasher safe but not recommended for longevity
Dry immediately after washing
Hone regularly with a honing steel to maintain the 14° edge
Sharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed
Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
