Wusthof Chef's Knife Amici 20 cm
Description
The Wüsthof Amici Chef's Knife 20 cm is an essential kitchen tool that merges German precision with Italian design. This all-purpose chef's knife is expertly crafted to handle a variety of culinary tasks, from chopping cabbage to slicing tomatoes with finesse. The versatility of the wide blade facilitates the easy scooping of ingredients, making meal preparation a seamless experience.
Exceptional Craftsmanship
Forged from a single piece of high-quality X50CrMoV15 steel, also known as Wüsthof steel, the Amici knife is engineered for durability and sharpness. Its brushed finish ensures precise and effortless cuts, while innovative laser-guided sharpening processes make it 20% sharper than standard knives. The hardness of 58 HRC allows the blade to maintain a razor-sharp edge, easily sharpened to an acute angle of 14 degrees, perfect for both vegetables and meats.
<a class='cat-link' href='https://bigshopper.co.uk/brand/unique/'>Unique</a> Design
The handle of the Amici Chef's Knife is made from sustainably sourced Calabrian olive wood, which not only provides an aesthetically pleasing grain but also boasts natural water-repellent and antibacterial properties. The ergonomic design fits comfortably in the hand, complemented by a domed bolster that enhances control and comfort for both left- and right-handed users. The half bolster design reduces the knife's weight, promoting better handling and making it easier to sharpen the entire blade.
Practical Use and Maintenance
The Wüsthof Amici Chef's Knife is designed as a robust workhorse for both professional chefs and home cooks. While it excels at a wide range of food preparation tasks, it is advisable to avoid cutting through bones or very hard fruits like coconuts to preserve the integrity of the blade. To maintain the knife's sharpness, regular sharpening with a whetstone or sharpening steel is recommended.
For cleaning, it is essential to hand wash the knife using mild soap and warm water, avoiding the dishwasher to prevent damage. Storing the knife in a knife block will protect its cutting edge, while using soft cutting boards will help maintain its sharpness.
A Legacy of Tradition
Wüsthof Amici knives embody a blend of modern craftsmanship and centuries-old traditions of handmade artistry. The collaboration with Castello di Serragiumenta in Calabria, Italy, reflects the essence of "la dolce vita"—the joy of life. Each knife in the Amici series is a unique masterpiece, celebrating culinary moments with elegance and efficiency. With a commitment to quality, Wüsthof offers a lifetime warranty against material and manufacturing defects, ensuring that your kitchen companion remains a staple for years to come.
