Knives should fit nice and safely in the hand. This is where the bolster, the connection between the blade and the handle, plays a central role. It provides the right balance and also makes up the weight of a forged knife. 

For those who would like things to be a little easier in future, Wusthof offers half bolster knives, which are 30 percent lighter than the traditional full bolster knives from the popular CLASSIC range.

• The wide, curved blade is ideal for cutting, slicing, dicing and carving.
• The reduced bolster shape (half bolster) and thinner edge of the blade reduce the weight of the knife.
• The reduced weight ensures fatigue-free, precise work, whilst the special bolster shape makes it possible to use and sharpen the entire blade.
• Forged from a single piece of chromium-molybdenum-vanadium blade steel (X50 Cr MoV 15).
• The ergonomically shaped handles – feature three durable rivets.
• Made in Solingen, Germany | Lifetime warranty against defects
