Wüsthof Classic 8" Hollow Edge Chef's Knife

Meet the knife that professional kitchens trust and home cooks obsess over. The Wüsthof Classic 8" Hollow Edge Chef's Knife is built in Solingen, Germany — the cutlery capital of the world — through a meticulous 40-plus step forging process that shapes a single billet of high-carbon stainless steel (X50 CrMoV 15) into a blade hardened to 58 HRC on the Rockwell scale.

A Smarter Edge, Every Slice

Wüsthof's proprietary PEtec sharpening technology grinds this blade to a razor-keen 14° per side double bevel — arriving 20% sharper out of the box than conventionally sharpened knives, with edge retention that lasts twice as long between honing sessions. The hollow edge design adds evenly spaced vertical indentations along the blade face, creating micro air pockets that break suction between food and steel for noticeably smoother, drag-free cuts on everything from salmon fillets to cucumbers.

Built to Feel as Good as It Performs

A full bolster with integrated finger guard balances the knife perfectly while keeping your grip safely behind the edge. The triple-riveted black POM handle is engineered to resist moisture, heat, and daily wear — delivering a secure, comfortable hold through long prep sessions. Backed by a 1-Year Warranty, this is a knife built to keep forever.
