What a chef's knife is for European kitchens, the Santoku is for Japan and the whole of Asia: so versatile in shape, weight, and edge that it can be used for mincing and chopping herbs, vegetables, and fruit as well as for preparing fish and meat. The sharp blade of the WÜSTHOF Gourmet 5" Hollow Edge Santoku allows anything from regular to wafer-thin cuts.

The utility knife is smaller than a chef's knife but larger than a paring knife, making it the perfect knife for a magnitude of tasks. A utility knife is much like a versatile paring knife and is perfect for mincing shallots, onions, and herbs as well as cutting vegetables or small meats.

Gourmet 4 1/2" Utility Knife

A classic amongst the range of knives that belong in every kitchen: as well as bread, this knife is suitable for use on hard-skinned vegetables and fruit, as well as for roasts, especially those with crackling. The concave (inwardly curved), serrated edge of the knife works like the teeth of a saw, but is much finer, so no pressure is required to cut any sort of bread and even a hard crust will allow a clean cut. The small blunt section at the tip of the blade is designed for extra crusty loaves. As you slice down to the bottom of the loaf, simply lift the handle up and use the blunt tip to slice through the hard bottom crust.

A paring knife is the second most important knife to have in the kitchen. The spear point paring knife's small narrow blade is easy to handle, making it the perfect knife to trim and slice small produce such as garlic cloves and herbs. The spear point is great for peeling fruits and vegetables.

Offering precision and a lot of power in the hand: the WÜSTHOF 8" Chinese Chef's Knife will allow you to chop a cabbage or cut wafer-thin slices from a tomato in seconds, while the wide blade is also ideal for scooping up prepped ingredients and transferring them to the pot. The fine cutting edge ensures exceptional sharpness but should not be used on bones or very hard fruits (such as coconuts); instead, we recommend a Cleaver or Butcher's Knife.
