Wusthof Classic 6-Inch Chef's Knife, Rosemary

Wusthof Classic 6" Chef's Knife, Fresh Rosemary is the chef's knife for cooks who find an 8" blade more knife than they want. Nothing is compromised except length — same forging, same edge, same handle.

Why choose 6 inches

A shorter blade is easier to steer on a small cutting board, in a shared kitchen, or if you have smaller hands. It still carries the curved belly of a proper chef's knife, so you can rock-chop herbs, garlic and onions instead of pressing straight down. For most home prep — a couple of onions, a bunch of parsley, a few carrots — it is simply faster to control.

The blade is precision forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, hardened to 58 Rockwell, then sharpened by Wusthof's computer-controlled PEtec process for a 20% sharper edge with twice the edge retention. The full bolster is also a finger guard and keeps the balance point in your palm.

The triple-riveted full-tang handle is finished in Fresh Rosemary — a deep, grounding green from the seven-shade Classic Color collection, inspired by sunlit herb gardens.

Care: wash by hand and towel dry immediately, hone regularly. Covered by the Wusthof lifetime warranty.
