WÜSTHOF Classic Chai Dao Knife – 7" Forged Hybrid Blade for Vegetables, Herbs & More

Discover the perfect fusion of form and function with the WÜSTHOF Classic 7" Hollow Edge Chai Dao Knife.

The extra-wide blade surface also doubles as a tool for lifting chopped ingredients straight to the pan 🍲🧄.

💎 WÜSTHOF Classic Series – Precision Forged, Professionally Trusted

The Classic Series is WÜSTHOF’s flagship line—each knife is forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, offering unmatched balance, edge retention, and durability. The X50 CrMoV15 steel ensures your blade stays sharp and resists staining, cut after cut.

Steel Breakdown:

• X = Stainless Steel

• 50 = 0.5% Carbon – For strength and long-lasting sharpness

• Cr = Chromium (15%) – Protects against corrosion and wear

• Mo = Molybdenum – Adds durability

• V = Vanadium – Enhances hardness and edge retention
