Wusthof Classic Vegetable Ridge Knife, 8-inch

Slice, chop, dice and mince. Nothing sticks to the blade of this masterful Wusthof Classic ridge knife for prep. Innovative German-engineering produces an unsurpassed knife with a deflecting ridge to push away food, while holes create pockets of air to release, significantly reducing drag and friction. Precision-forged from a single piece of high-carbon rust-free steel, this Wusthof ridge knife features a sharp definitive point to pierce cleanly, and keep delicate interiors intact. The Wusthof ridge knife penetrates tough-skinned vegetables, delicate fruits, thick rind on melons and hard-crusted breads, using minimal pressure.

With a slightly-curved angle and wider blade, the Wusthof ridge knife is an unprecedented precision chef's knife, allowing the rocking motion and instant release to prep with the proficiency of a gourmet chef. Slice vegetables paper thin, julienne strips, segment citrus or slice fruit, and create hors d'oeuvres with this multi-use vegetable knife and watch food fall from the blade. Signature to the Wusthof Classic cutlery is the precision bolster, for use of the full blade from tip to heel. Wusthof's own PEtec edge (Precision Edge Technology) yields a smoother, refined blade edge, with exacting sharpness and long-lasting retention along the entire blade length.

Full tang provides comfortable in-hand balance with the superior strength and maneuverability for repetitive work. Triple riveted for strength and durability. Hand wash. Made in Germany. Lifetime manufacturer warranty. 8"L blade. Since 1814, knives bearing the Wusthof name and the Trident logo have been crafted in the world's "Cutlery Capital", Solingen, Germany.
