The Wusthof 4.5" Utility Knife combines precision and ease of use. The high-carbon stainless steel blades maintain a sharp edge. Full tangs provide perfect balance with riveted, high-impact, composition handles. Longer than a paring knife, this all-round knife will clean and cut larger fruits and vegetables with ease -- in addition to halving your sandwiches and scoring meats or pastries.
Called a utility knife because it does small and intermediate cutting jobs equally well, this knife pares fruit and chops small vegetables beautifully. The sharp point makes it ideal for small or intricate cutting chores. A much-loved kitchen helper, this knife carries its weight mostly in its extremely comfortable handle, which allows you greater control.

Part of the Classic series, the knife represents two centuries of unexcelled W??sthof craftsmanship. Like other cutlery in the series, it's hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength; the hand-polished blade is exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when it's honed or sharpened. Dishwasher-safe and with a traditionally shaped, ergonomically designed handle that is triple-riveted for durability, the knife brings a guaranteed lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to any cook who owns it. --Arthur Boehm
