Essential kitchen knives from Wusthof include the Classic Chef's knife, plus the Nakiri, a precision-forged blade with an Asian-edge that is 30% sharper and has 30% longer edge retention. Unlike any other blade on the market, the edge is angled on both sides for quickest, easiest slicing and chopping. Chops and dices vegetables with record speed and unprecedented precision of a Japanese cleaver with a balanced knife blade. Classic Chef's knife slices meats deli-thin for sandwiches, creates strips for stir-frying and fajitas and quickly trims uniform pieces for stews and soups. Triple-compression rivets attach the high-impact handle securely to the full tang for superior balance and maneuverability. Each blade is precision-forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless-steel. Developed in partnership with CHEFS, these are the knives every seasoned chef reaches for in the kitchen. Hand wash. 7"L Nakiri knife. 6"L chef's. Made in Germany. Lifetime manufacturer warranty.

Care and Use
Wusthof cutlery is dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended. In the dishwasher, your Wusthof knife may bang against other cutlery or pots and pans and knick the blade. Clean knife with a wet cloth and dishwashing detergent. Dry immediately, from the back of knife to the blade.
No metal is completely stain-free. To prevent slight tarnishing, be sure to remove acidic foods (lemon, mustard, ketchup, etc.) from the blade after use. If blade should show some signs of staining, clean with a nonabrasive metal polish.
To prevent irreparable blade damage, it is best to store your knife in a knife block or in-drawer knife tray.
