Gaz & George
The K4 is a lovely small chef knife, great for someone who likes the depth of a larger knife without the length.
Inspired by the double bevel knives of Japan, the K Series are high performance knives, designed for professional use but equally useful to the discerning home cook.
The utilisation of a traditional technique known as “dry-fine grinding”, ensures these knives are not only razor sharp but also thin behind the cutting edge, when coupled with an already thin and slightly concave blade (great for food release) this makes for a knife which performs to an exceptionally high standard.
We really like this series , they’re comfortable, well made, attractive, hold a mean edge and they sharpen up a treat.
Windmuhlenmesser have been making knives of exceptional quality since 1872, started by Robert Herder and still run by members of his family, the business, based in Solingen Germany, continues to employ traditional techniques to produce blades which are refreshingly thin and light for western knives.

Please note that this knife is currently available in Stainless OR Carbon Steel and you will need to select your preference when adding to cart. We prefer the carbon but lots of people do prefer the stainless option, have a read of the info below and see which you think will work best for you. If you need any help then just hit the chat button in the bottom right, we can usually get back to you right away.
A note on carbon steel - Like many others we at Community Cutlery favour carbon over stainless steel for its ability to take a keener edge and hold it for longer, for this privilege we need to care for our carbon products with a little more consideration, particularly when it comes to washing. Once you’ve finished with your knife we recommend giving it a wash and a thorough dry, as if left wet it will start to rust, surprisingly quickly. If this does happen then take a dry scourer and lightly give it a rub, another rinse and a good dry, it should come off with relative ease. With use you will also notice a light change in the colour of the blade, this patina is natural, beautiful and to be cherished, it’s like yo knife developing its own fingerprint!
And for many reasons - Never put your knives in the dishwasher
