The Wusthof Amici Chef's Knife is the work horse of the kitchen, or the essential kitchen knife. The chef's knife is an indispensable all-purpose kitchen knife that can be used for chopping, mincing, slicing and dicing. Due to the weight and balance of the knife, it is also perfect for heavy duty work such as cutting thicker vegetables and meats.

Inspired by memories of family and friends gathering al fresco in the Italian countryside, Wusthof Amici celebrates a simpler life. It is a life connected to nature, love of good food, and affection for all we invite to the table. The sculpted forged blade is paired with a uniquely variegated olive wood handle. Amici brings together a gracious Mediterranean lifestyle and old-world craftsmanship, creating a soulful reminder to cherish life's precious moments. Each Wusthof Amici Knife is unique. The distinctive, striking grain of the Calabrian olive wood draws an individual pattern on each handle as no two are alike. Olive is a slow-growing tree that provides durable wood, naturally water-repellent and antibacterial. As far as possible it is finished by hand, combining functional qualities with a fascinating look. Together with the color-coordinated brass rivets, it is the ideal companion for this unique knife.
