Compact 6-inch chef’s knife

The Wusthof Classic 1040100116 is a forged stainless-steel chef’s knife built for daily kitchen prep. Its 6-inch blade suits home cooks and professionals who prefer a shorter, more manoeuvrable tool for chopping, slicing and dicing. Made in Solingen, Germany, it arrives new and ready to use.

Precision Edge Technology sharpness

The blade is precision-forged from a single blank of high-carbon stainless steel and tempered to 58° Rockwell. Precision Edge Technology yields an edge that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention compared to previous Wusthof edges. A full bolster and finger guard add safety and balance during cuts.

Full-tang control for everyday volume

A full tang runs the entire handle length and is triple-riveted to the polyoxymethylene handle for precise control. The 1.70 cm wide blade and 11.00 cm handle height give enough knuckle clearance for board work on vegetables, herbs and boneless meats. The compact length reaches its limit with very large roasts, dense squash or tasks that demand a longer slicing stroke.

Questions about this item

How much sharper is the blade with Precision Edge Technology compared to a standard edge?

The PEtec process yields a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention of a conventional edge.

What does the 58° Rockwell hardness rating mean for daily use?

A 58 Rockwell temper keeps the high-carbon stainless steel edge stable through heavy chopping while still allowing straightforward honing on a steel.

Will the 1.70 cm wide bolster and full-tang handle fit a standard knife block slot?

The 1.70 cm bolster and triple-riveted POM handle match classic Wusthof dimensions, so the knife seats securely in most traditional block slots.
