Windmühle K5

The large Windmühlenmesser chef's knife "K 5" from the "K" series by Herder is shaped as a blend of the German chef's knife and the Japanese "Gyouto." It is suitable for all classic chef's knife tasks and is excellent for cutting and preparing meat, vegetables, and fruit on the board. The Windmühlenmesser weighs and chops herbs and nuts, and with its flat side, it can evenly flatten pieces of meat. Like all chef's knives, it is finely ground from the heel to the tip, making it a great filleting knife as well. The 182 mm long blade of this Windmühlenmesser is made of stainless chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel, hand-honed (special fine grinding), and crafted according to the "Solingen thin grinding" principle; it is hardened to 60 HRC, which gives it excellent cutting properties. The plum wood handle feels comfortable in the hand and allows for fatigue-free work. Do not clean Windmühlenmesser in the dishwasher; occasionally oil the handle with Herder wood care oil.
