Wüsthof 4603 – Classic Flexible Boning Knife with 16 cm blade length.

Wüsthof Classic series

Robust, sharp and functional - the classic kitchen tool series, which includes more than 70 different blade shapes (from 6 to 36 cm blade lengths), stands out for its ease of use and is the right tool for every home cook and professional. A single piece of stainless steel (X50CrMoV15) forged blade with a hardness of 58 HRC and a 29° cutting angle. This special, high-carbon, corrosion-resistant alloy ensures that the critical properties of every Wüsthof knife are retained from the very beginning: razor-sharp, long-lasting cutting edge, high rust resistance, easy-to-restore edge. They are made in 55 sophisticated production steps: from forging to hardening and sharpening to polishing, and every perfectly manufactured Classic knife undergoes more than 20 uncompromising quality control points. They are particularly sharp thanks to the Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) laser-controlled sharpening process. Hand-finished by experienced Wüsthof craftsmen, they ensure exceptional sharpness, fast and easy cutting. They feature grip panels made of a comfortable and durable synthetic material, polyoxymethylene (POM) - which has a more compact molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. The full-length handle protects the hand, ensuring safety and balanced weight distribution. The robust handle panels are triple riveted for durability. Wüsthof technology offers outstanding sharpness: extremely high initial cutting performance, exceptionally long edge retention, long blade life, optimal cutting edge along the entire length of the blade, unique, consistently high and reproducible quality. The Wüsthof Classic series is certified by the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) for public health and food safety.

• Handguard - The ergonomic knife handle fits well in the hand and the curved handle tip prevents slipping. The robust handle panels are secured with stainless steel rivets.
• Full tang - The blade reaches all the way into the handle, providing reliable stability for the knife. In addition, it acts as a counterweight to ensure the blade is balanced.
• Precision double-serrated edge - The bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts through hard crusts as easily as soft bread or large fruits such as pumpkins. The difference compared to a conventional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• Full bakni - The full finger guard reliably protects your fingers during everyday cooking, and the balance facilitates fast and precise work.
• Ribbed blade - When cutting, small air pockets form in the recesses of the blade. The positive effect of this is that thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick to it.
• Butcher knife - The distinctive new knife is perfect for portioning meat and cuts large fruits and vegetables effortlessly. The specially designed model is a highly artistic creation made of forged steel.
