Wüsthof Classic Extra Wide Chef's Knife

When standard chef's knives feel cramped, the Wüsthof Classic Extra Wide 8" Chef's Knife steps up — literally. Its 2.25" blade height delivers generous knuckle clearance so your grip stays safe and comfortable through every chop, while the extra surface area doubles as a built-in bench scraper for transferring prepped ingredients straight from board to pan.

Forged for Precision, Built to Last

Crafted through 40-plus manufacturing steps in Solingen, Germany, this knife starts as a single bar of high-carbon X50 CrMoV 15 stainless steel and emerges fully forged at 58 HRC hardness. Wüsthof's proprietary PEtec (Precision Edge Technology) delivers an edge that is 20% sharper and holds that sharpness twice as long compared to conventionally ground blades. The 14°-per-side double-bevel geometry ensures clean, controlled cuts across everything from dense root vegetables to delicate herbs.

Balanced, Comfortable, Ready for Daily Use

At 9.7 oz, the knife carries satisfying heft without fatigue. The full bolster with finger guard anchors your pinch grip naturally, while the triple-riveted black POM handle stays firm and moisture-resistant over years of hand-washed use. Backed by a 1-Year Warranty, this is a knife built to cook with for years to come.
