Product Description
The WÜSTHOF Classic Asian Utility Knife brings the versatility of a mini chef's knife and a paring knife into one compact tool. Its curved, plain-edge blade supports low rocking cuts on the board as well as close, detailed preparation, making it a useful companion for small- and medium-sized fruits, vegetables, and cheeses.
Use it to cut, slice, and dice ingredients for a quick lunch or to trim meat and poultry before cooking. The forged German steel blade pairs with a resilient, riveted synthetic handle, balancing the heft needed for controlled board work with the agility needed for precise tasks.
Family-owned for more than 200 years, WÜSTHOF remains rooted in Solingen, Germany, the renowned City of Blades, where it produces its forged knives exclusively. High-precision production meets traditional artisanship, drawing on generations of skilled knife artisans and more than two centuries of refining techniques to support enduring quality.
