Comfortable to hold and razor-sharp, the versatile 16 cm Cleaver by Wusthof cuts through bone as easily as it chops vegetables. Use the flat sides to tenderise meat or crush garlic, and the butt end as a pestle to pulverize seeds or other ingredients. Prized possessions of professional chefs, Wusthof knives are an invaluable asset of any kitchen. Every element of this renowned cutlery contributes to its precision and ease of use. In Solingen, Germany, each piece is hand-forged in 38 manufacturing steps by skilled craftsmen. The high-carbon stainless steel blades are hardened to maintain a sharp edge and full tangs provide perfect balance with riveted, high-impact composition handles.
