Classic 6" Utility Knife, Black

Great utility knife, stays sharp, strong, very well made - quality of Wusthoff Classic has not lessened over the years!

Great quality and these knives stay sharp, cost is high but using these knives, the weight of the knife, cuts right into everything. I bought 4 different knives about 30 years ago and they are wonderful and now buying more for my collection. Only brand I’ll ever buy.

I have a nice set of kitchen knives but they were mixed (some Wüsthof, some H*#kles, some others) and the Wüsthof were by far the best. They stayed sharp and sharpened much better/easier than the others. One of the others had a tip break off during regular / non forceful use. Anyhow, I decided to replace the 6 "other" knives with new Wüsthof knives and stuck with the "Classic" line. It's an unbelievably nice upgrade. Sure they're expensive but they are totally worth it. The "other" knives were probably 1/2 the cost, maybe more or less, but over the last 5 years they all had to be replaced. Now we have a NICE knife set that should last forever...

It cuts steak like it is cutting through butter!

Classic Wusthof; good quality steel, nice and sharp. Will last very long if regularly honed. Good size for a general purpose kitchen knife.

I can’t promise it would be this one (I love my knives) but it would definitely be in my top 3 wusthoff knives. I have been collecting them for 30+ years, have way too many but so still have my very first one. People say these are expensive, but how many sets of “cheap” knives have they been through in those three decades. The wustoff classic to me is the perfect construction. the handles are almost indestructible (my 8” chefs nice did go down a running disposal handle first it popped back up with a small chip and still going more than 20’years later), the fully riveted full tang construction leaned the knives feeling solidly in your hand and most are well balanced. This knife is incredibly versatile- it has a good enough feel that you can use it like a paring knife in a pinch, but still enough size to cut a cantaloupe if you must. it may be the knife that stays out of the block the most. like all wustoff classics it looks great. again, i’m not sure I could live with just one knife but I also don’t think I could leave this one behind! in the picture it is shown with a 4” utility knife. if you are just learning to take care of fine blades, this is also a good knife to learn sharpening- it’s not so small that it is difficult and not so large that it is daunting.

A good addition to my knife collection but surprisingly and unlike other Wustoff that I have purchased this one seems to be a bit dull out of the box. A couple of swipes on the steel bar remedied the dullness.

I have owned a set of Wustoff knives for more that 25 years. And they are still the knives I use every day. With proper care and sharpening, they will be sharp and last a lifetime. This 7" utility knife was a welcome addition to my set.
