The blade has a nice curve and the complimentary Wusthof knife sharpening service means its balance and blade will always be in great condition. If you have a bad day in the kitchen and lose the tip or if it’s chipped the Wusthof team can get it back to being a decent knife again. The shape of the blade rolls beautifully whether you’re mincing or chopping, cutting meat or fish & fruit or vegetables.

The half bolster, the junction between the 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.
