Wüsthof Classic 4.5" Asian Utility Knife

This Asian Utility Knife features a uniquely curved straight edge blade, which allows it to be used as both a mini chef's knife and as a paring knife. The knife is perfectly designed for both low rocking cuts that require moderate heft and precise balance, and closer hand work that demands a razor sharp edge and exceptional agility. The ideal size and shape for countless food prep tasks, the Asian Utility Knife performs effortlessly when cutting, slicing, or dicing a variety of ingredients, including small and medium sized fruits, vegetables, and cheeses. It can also be used to trim meats and poultry.

Wüsthof Classic knives are forged from a single blank of high carbon no-stain steel, a specially alloyed steel and are created using 40 manufacturing steps from forging to tempering, to grinding and polishing.
