The utility knife is a knife that sits between a paring/petty and a slicing knife with a general length of around 150mm to 210mm. It is thicker in the blade and used for peeling and dicing shallots, peeling oranges and segmenting and most medium sized fruits and vegetables. Its the happy medium knife for a large collection and something to consider once you have your core knife collection established.

The Wüsthof Classic range is the brand’s most iconic and widely recognized knife series, known for its exceptional quality, durability, and precision. Each knife in this collection is forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, ensuring superior strength and edge retention.

Utilizing Wüsthof’s Precision Edge Technology (PEtec), the Classic range delivers razor-sharp blades that maintain their edge longer than traditional knives. Designed for both professional chefs and home cooks, the Wüsthof Classic series offers a versatile selection of knives, from chef’s knives to paring and bread knives, making it a staple in kitchens worldwide.
