Overview
A short flat cut blade with a straight plain edge does the work here, sized for peeling, coring and garnishing. Wüsthof precision forges the knife from stainless steel and lists its color as black.
Peeling and coring are where a short forged blade earns its drawer space, since tip control matters more than reach. Specs list a stainless steel handle on a black knife, an unusual pairing, so confirm the handle before ordering.
Who it's for
Precise detail jobs such as coring and garnishing are what it serves, alongside a larger chef's knife. People hoping for a single do-everything blade should not rely on it.
Pros and cons
- Short blade suits peeling and coring
- Light weight for fine control
- Lifetime warranty against defects
- Handle material listing looks inconsistent
- Too short for board chopping
- Steel hardness not listed
Performance notes
Control comes from the short blade placed close to the fingers, so small hand movements translate directly to the tip. The flat cut profile gives a straight edge for peeling strokes, and forged stainless steel sets edge durability, though no hardness rating is given.
