Chef's knife "K5" Windmühlenmesser walnut handle stainless steel blade

Windmühlenmesser “K5” Chef’s Knife with walnut handle and stainless steel blade

The K5 is the Solingen-based manufacturer’s interpretation of the famous Japanese Gyuto chef’s knife. Its curved profile offers immense versatility: it can be used flat on a chopping board to slice vegetables, chop herbs with a rocking motion, or even trim meat and fillet large fish.

The knives in the K series feature a stainless steel blade with a carbon content of 0.7 per cent and a Rockwell hardness of 60 HRC. The blade of this knife is polished using the ‘blue polish’ technique. This process, which has long been regarded as the most sophisticated in the Solingen knife-grinding trade, gives the blades an iridescent bluish sheen.
The walnut handle, with its aluminium rivets, is characterised by its oval, curved shape.

The handle, crafted from selected walnut wood, features an elegant, dark brown colour with a distinct grain; it is very dense and secured by four brass rivets. The handle has a slender, oval profile unique to the K-Series, which drastically reduces hand fatigue.
