The ultimate tool for all tasks that place high demands on the sturdiness and power of the knife: the 6" Wusthof Gourmet Cleaver makes the cutting of ribs, racks, bones and also extremely hard-skinned fruit - such as coconuts - easy. The large flat of the blade, together with its strength and rigidity, make for easier and fatigue-free prepping. GOURMET laser-cut knives are crafted in the company's factory in Germany. Well-balanced and durable, GOURMET knives are made of high-carbon stainless steel. GOURMET knives feature a new handle design made of a highly durable synthetic material – Polyoxymethylene (POM) – which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration.
