The Wsthof Gourmet 8″ Cook’s Knife also known as the French or Chefs knife, is the most important knife in the home or professional kitchen. Whether cutting, chopping, or slicing, no other knife is as versatile as the multi-purpose chefs knife because it is a designed to perform a variety of common cutting tasks rather than excelling at any one.

The upward curve of the knifes edge allows for a rocking/chopping motion that allows for fast, fine mincing of small foods such as garlic, herbs, or ginger. The wide, flat blade is also excellent for pressing or smacking garlic cloves and popping them out of their papery husks. The chef knifes extra width also makes chopping larger vegetables easy because it keeps your knuckles off the cutting board. In a pinch, it will even work for slicing and carving tasks due to its length and fine balance. For optimal cutting performance, try using a chefs pinch-grip which brings greater control and efficiency when you slice, mince, or dice.
