Wüsthof Classic 6-inch Utility Knife

A 6-inch utility knife is the knife many cooks grab for lunch-hour jobs. The Wüsthof Classic 6-inch slices a sandwich in half, cuts cheese and salami for a board, trims the silver skin from a pork tenderloin and slices a few tomatoes, all without reaching for the chef’s knife. Many cooks call a knife of this size a petty knife.

The blade is an inch wide, narrow enough to follow the contour of a melon rind or a cut of meat and long enough to halve a large onion. Its straight edge gives clean cuts on firm foods; for crusty bread and ripe tomatoes, a serrated edge grips better.

On the Classic handle, it feels steady whether you are slicing on the board or trimming over a bowl. For a smaller blade, see the Classic 4.5-inch utility knife. The Classic 5-inch serrated utility knife handles bagels and tomatoes. The Classic Ikon 6-inch utility knife puts this blade on the contoured Ikon handle. Utility knives are covered in our knife shapes guide.

    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.
