FAQ's

Is the 16cm knife big enough for most prep work?
Absolutely. It's slightly smaller than a traditional 20cm Chef's Knife, giving you more control, especially for precision cutting, smaller hands, or quick everyday prep.

Can I sharpen it myself?
Yes. The Wusthof design stays sharper twice as long as ordinary knives, reducing the need to re-sharpen. However, when needed you can sharpen using a honing steel or sharpener.

What's the advantage of forged over stamped knives?
Forged knives are crafted from a single piece of steel for superior balance, strength, and edge retention. They simply last longer and feel better to use.

• Hand wash only with warm, soapy water and dry immediately with a soft towel.
• Avoid abrasive sponges or soaking.
• Store safely in a knife block, sheath, or magnetic rack.
• Do not cut on hard surfaces like glass, metal, or bamboo.
