A high-performance knife
The blade of this nakiri knife measures 17cm and is made of X50CrMoV15 stainless steel. This steel has a Rockwell hardness of 58HRC, a good compromise between exceptional sharpness and ease of sharpening. This knife is also forged from a single piece of solid steel, making it solid and highly resistant.
The black handle is made of a synthetic material (POM). This composite is durable and resistant to chemicals. It is also ergonomic, making it easy to grip and handle. What's more, the solid sole runs through the handle, and the 3 stainless steel rivets give the knife its sturdiness.
Wusthof also uses PEtec robotic technology. This is innovative engineering developed in cooperation with engineers and specialists from German industry. It offers unrivalled precision in knife slicing and sharpening, guaranteeing a uniform cut and a long-lasting edge. PEtec technology is based on a computerized system that measures and analyzes the knife's cutting edge, then adjusts the blade's shape and size exactly, using a system of rotating blades. With this technology, Wusthof guarantees the highest quality cutting and sharpening of its knives.
