This **Wüsthof Classic cleaver 16 cm** is a classic in the kitchens of many amateur and professional chefs. This heavy blade will chop through any type of meat or bone. The ergonomic handle is traditionally riveted with three rivets. A perfect knife for the more demanding tasks in the kitchen.

 ## Sustainable and hygienic handle

 It is for a reason that the Classic collection is the most popular in the extensive Wüsthof range. Each imaginable knife is available and each knife adheres to the highest demands. Like any Wüsthof Classic knife this knife is a combination of a forged blade and a handle made from black POM, an incredibly sustainable plastic. This handle can handle any substance you will find in the kitchen, is seamless and, of course, riveted to the blade without any leeway.

 ## Laser-sharp stainless steel

 The forged blade from chromium-vanadium steel (X50CrMoV15) is forged from one piece of steel and is extremely sharp upon delivery. Each knife is sharpened using Wüsthof's PEtec technology with laser technique and precision until ultimate sharpness is achieved. This means that for each blade the sharpening angle is determined with the help of a computer. Afterwards the blade is sharpened with laser precision on a wet sharpening stone. The result is a razor-sharp knife that is amazing to work with.

 After thorough inspection each knife will leave the production line, for a long life of intensive use. Both amateur and professional chefs often work with these kitchen knives. They are enhanced with the NSF hygiene mark.

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.
