Chef Knife

The chef knife is the favorite knife of every professional and amateur cook, and for good reason. It has perhaps the most uses of any other kitchen knife, as you can use it to cut large portions, finely chop or dice vegetables and fruits, as well as meat and fish. Its wide blade and curved edge make it ideal for quick and precise chopping using the well-known rocking motion. The thickness of the blade at the spine is enough to give you the weight and power you need, while its length covers a wide range of everyday tasks.

Blade Material

The blade is made of a single piece of surgical steel containing chromium-molybdenum-vanadium (X50 Cr MoV 15).

This special stainless steel, precision-forged, is extremely hard and resistant to rust. Each blade is hand-finished by the skilled knife craftsmen of Wusthof to be perfected for everyday use.

The hardness level of the blade is 58 (±1) HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).

Handle

The handle of the knife is made of Calabrian olive wood. The distinctive variety of Calabrian olive grows slowly, resulting in a very dense and durable wood with natural resistance to moisture and bacteria. The unique textured wooden handle comes from the old Calabrian olive trees that no longer bear fruit.

Cutting Surface

It is recommended to perform cuts on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable as they may cause permanent damage to the knife blades.

Cleaning

Wash the knife with warm water before using it for the first time. After each use, make sure to wash the knife immediately (with a mild detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you should wash the knife immediately after use.

For your own safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from its edge, using a cloth or towel.

It is not recommended to wash it in the dishwasher but by hand, in order to protect its material and maintain its sharpness for a long time.

Sharpening

No matter how sharp a knife is at first, after some use it needs sharpening, something that you can achieve with a sharpener, sharpening stone, or strop.

You can tell if your knife cuts well with an easy test using the knife and a piece of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut through a piece of paper. On the other hand, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and its cutting will be dull.

It is also advisable to sharpen your knives with a professional occasionally, to fix any possible damage to the blade's edge and to maintain its sharpness.
