Windmühlenmesser tomato knife, cherry wood handle

Windmühlenmesser Tomato Knife – Cherry Wood Handle

Ideal for slicing through the skins of tomatoes or peppers, as well as various types of cheese. It features finely honed serrations.

The blade is forged from chromium-molybdenum-vanadium stainless steel (1.4116 steel) with a hardness of 56–57 HRC. This stainless alloy withstands contact with meat juices, blood, and cooking sauces; the knife will not oxidize.
Although this type of stainless steel is often difficult to polish to a fine finish, it has undergone the "blue polishing" process.
The blade has a mirror-like finish and glides effortlessly through food.
Blue polishing: The blue-toned finish traditionally known as *Blaupließten* in German (translated as "blue polishing" or "blue grind") represents the pinnacle of Solingen craftsmanship. It is an extremely complex and rare blade-finishing technique; the Robert Herder manufactory is one of the last in the world to master and teach it.

Cherry wood handle: a local wood with reddish-brown hues and a silky feel that stands up to daily use, featuring  aluminum rivets for corrosion resistance.

Do not place in the dishwasher.
