Universal knife "K3" Windmühlenmesser plum handle stainless steel blade

Windmühlenmesser "K3" Utility Knife – Plum Wood Handle, Stainless Steel Blade

The K3 marks the entry into the mid-sized chef's knife category. Its "Mittelspitz" (centered-tip) blade is extraordinarily versatile: it excels at everything from slicing vegetables on a board to filleting fish or trimming prime cuts of meat.

Knives in the K-series feature stainless steel blades with a 0.7% carbon content and a hardness of 60 HRC (Rockwell scale). The blade undergoes a "blue polishing" (*Blaupließten*) process. Long considered the most sophisticated technique in the Solingen grinding trade, this process gives the blades an iridescent, bluish sheen.
The plum wood handle, featuring aluminum rivets, is distinguished by its curved, oval shape.

The handle is made of plum wood a particularly hard, dense, and water-resistant timber. Its natural, marbled tones shift beautifully between tawny brown, red, and hints of purple.
Do not place in the dishwasher.
