Forged from a single piece of WÜSTHOF steel, the precision-sharpened, 6-inch blade makes this knife particularly agile, intuitive, and easy to handle. A full bolster – the thicker area between the blade and the handle on forged knives – further protects your fingers during slicing and dicing. The custom-grained Calabrian olive wood handle is naturally water-resistant and antibacterial, and its organic shape fits comfortably in hands of any size.
