No cook or kitchen should be without a really good cook’s knife and Wusthof makes some of the very best. Think of this kind of knife as a manual food processor capable of all types of cutting, chopping, slicing and dicing. The depth of the knife and its thick strong back give it the power and strength to cut through the toughest root vegetables with ease.
The curved shape of the blade lets you rock the knife down and through tough ingredients to make cutting chopping and slicing a straightforward matter. The knife tapers to a slender point which is delicate and precise enough to perform the finest slicing and dicing. Choose the most appropriate size for your hands and the kind food preparation that you do. We suggest that you go for the longest blade that you are comfortable with, remember this is the knife that you will use to do things like cutting whole cabbages in half.
Many professional chefs would choose a 20cm cooks knife beyond all other knives. it’s exactly the right size to cope with all types of vegetable preparation including cutting large root veg, pumpkins, watermelons and cabbages.
As cooks knives get longer, the blade gets deeper too this provides more power to cut tough ingredients. The 20cm wide cook’s knife has a deeper blade than the standard cook’s knife. This makes the knife heavier and more powerful, it also gives greater clearance for your knuckles between the handle and the cutting board. Despite the extra depth, the knife isn’t unwieldy. You will be able to perform delicate slicing and dicing using the tip of the knife with ease.
