Classic 5" Utility Knife, Black, Stainless Steel

This is a great knife. Very sharp and easy to cut items, however keep in mind the handle is for smaller hands so may not be suitable for everyone.

Was looking for something a bit smaller than my large chef knife, when I don't need the heft. This is filling the bill nicely. I was initially thinking of a Santoku style, but I saw this on sale and I wanted a forged blade. Happy I went with this. It is very sharp and we'll see how it holds up. I have sharpened Wusthof knives for friends and they get scary sharp, so I assume I'll be able to maintain that with this one.

This is, by far, the best paring knife I've ever used. It is well balanced and holds an edge better and longer than any other I've used. It's expensive, but think of it as a lifetime purchase.

My wife's favorite knife. Wonderful quality. Sharpens and holds an edge well After dipping into the world of Japanese knives for a couple years, I'm glad I've come back to German knives. No need to worry about the edge getting chippy with these Germans. Wife can cut whatever she wants

Great knife

I have been a fan of their competitors for over 30 yrs but over the years I have noticed that my knives don’t stay sharp as long as I would like. So it was time to try something new. After doing a bit of homework on hardness , quality etc I opted to go with the classic which is more or less the equivalent to my knives. The results: super sharp from get go. I appreciate the size that lets me use it for various tasks. The handle , feel and balance is good. Only thing I can’t comment on is how long will they stay sharp. The promotional price did the trick because they are expensive. Time will tell but as for now they have my full attention.

WÜSTHOF Classic 5" Utility Knife, Black, Stainless Steel is everything promised. A small versatile and well balanced knife with an exceptional sharp blade for preparing mid-sized meals. The knife is well worth the purchase and I would do it again. It does look nice with my small collection. Have a great day and stay safe! ☘️

I have a thing about kitchen knives. They must hold a sharp edge and Wusthof has never disappointed. I must have. $3,000 invested in my kitchen knives and my favorites are always Wusthof. They are a type of stainless steel material, which some people absolutely hate but these have to be the exception. And this little 4.5 inch knife is no exception. It’s has a nice point perfect for intricate cuts. My only complaint is I wish the handle was a little larger in all regards and I wish they made a 5.5 inch version. This is more like a larger, wider paring knife. It could almost be your “go to” knife for 85% of your needs if it were just 1 inch longer. But I’d still recommend this knife to anyone who enjoys cutting with a quality knife and not “sawing” through your food during preparation. Plus I got it on sale for around $59 and free shipping with my prime account, a necessity living in Hawaii.
