Wüsthof Classic 4.5-inch Asian Utility Knife

This Wüsthof Classic Asian utility knife takes the length of a small utility knife and gives it a taller, 1.2-inch blade with a gently curved edge. The added height gives your knuckles room above the board, so the knife can mince garlic and chop herbs with a rocking motion as well as slice.

It is a good size for the small, frequent jobs of a weeknight, such as a few cloves of garlic or a knob of ginger. The wide blade also scoops what you have cut and carries it to the pan, which a narrow utility knife cannot do.

On the board, the curved edge rocks easily, and the flat face of the blade crushes a garlic clove before mincing. For a narrower blade that slices and trims, see the Classic 4.5-inch utility knife. The Classic 5-inch hollow edge santoku is the next size up for chopping, and both come together in the Classic 2-piece Asian knife set. Our kitchen knife shapes guide covers Asian-style blades.

    Care

    Wash by hand in warm, soapy water right after use and dry it immediately. Do not put the knife in the dishwasher or leave it soaking. Hone it regularly on a steel and sharpen it when honing no longer restores the edge. Cut on wood or plastic boards, never on glass, stone or metal.
