The Wüsthof Amici Chef's Knife 16 cm is an indispensable, versatile knife for every professional and gourmet. It effortlessly chops a cabbage into pieces or cuts wafer-thin slices of a tomato in no time. Thanks to the wide blade, it is also perfect for scooping up ingredients and moving them to the pan. The fine cutting edge is razor-sharp, but we do not recommend using it for cutting bones or very hard fruits such as coconuts.

This edition of the Amici series stands out with its stainless steel rivets and seamless finish. The knife is designed as a robust workhorse that can handle any challenge, with a half bolster that reduces the weight for better control and easier sharpening of the entire blade.
