8" Cook's Knife Hollow Edge
The Wusthof Classic 1040100220 is an 8-inch chef's knife forged from stainless steel. Its hollow-edge blade creates air pockets that reduce food sticking during slicing and chopping. The full-tang construction and triple-riveted handle provide balance and control for professional and home cooks alike.
Hollow edge reduces drag
The hollow-ground indentations along the blade minimise suction when cutting dense vegetables or proteins. This design change means thinner, cleaner slices with less effort and less tearing of delicate ingredients. The stainless steel holds a keen edge and resists staining under heavy kitchen use.
Check handle comfort and maintenance
Verify that the 4.20 cm blade height suits your grip and cutting style before ordering. The knife weighs .70 kg and requires hand washing and regular honing to maintain performance. Buyers who prefer a lighter blade or dishwasher-safe convenience should consider other options.

Questions about this item
How often will the hollow-edge stainless-steel blade need professional sharpening?
The hollow-edge design reduces food adhesion, so the stainless-steel blade stays sharp longer; periodic honing with a steel and occasional professional sharpening will maintain the edge.
What limits cutting performance during a long prep session?
The 8-inch stainless-steel blade and 0.70 lb weight balance control and momentum; fatigue from repetitive motion typically limits sustained use before the edge dulls.
Does the knife generate noticeable heat or require extra grip when used continuously?
The stainless-steel blade and synthetic handle stay at room temperature during extended use; the 0.70 lb weight and hollow edge reduce drag, so no extra grip or heat issues arise.
