Wusthof 1040100120 Classic 8 in Chef's Knife Cutlery

Classic 8 in Chef's Knife

The Wusthof 1040100120 is a precision–forged chef's knife made from a single blank of high carbon stainless steel. Its full tang is triple riveted to a durable polyoxymethylene handle for secure control. The blade is tempered to 58° Rockwell and features Precision Edge Technology for 20% sharper performance. A full bolster and finger guard complete the design.

Suited for daily prep and professional kitchens

Cooks who value a traditional feel and long edge retention will appreciate the balanced weight and comfortable grip. The 8 inch blade handles chopping, slicing and dicing with ease. Buyers needing a lighter blade or a flexible boning knife should look at something else. This knife is built for heavy, repeated use on a cutting board.

Capacity and headroom

The 8 inch blade length and 2 ounce weight provide enough heft for dense vegetables and large proteins without fatigue. The high carbon steel holds a keen edge through extended prep sessions. Very delicate tasks like peeling small fruit or intricate decorative cuts are where this size runs out. A smaller paring knife covers those gaps.
