Its blade is precision forged from high carbon steel and given the PEtec treatment for a 20% sharper blade with twice the edge retention, and its comfortable POM handle features traditional styling and incredible durability. This is an amazing knife and whether you buy it by itself or as part of the complete Wusthof Classic kitchen knife set, it’s an amazing knife to add to your collection.
