A true classic straight-edge vegetable knife — uncomplicated, precise and built for everyday prep.
The 10.5cm blade is ideal for peeling, slicing and trimming fruit and vegetables, whether in hand or on the board. Slim and lightly ground, it moves cleanly through product without feeling heavy or overbuilt.
Large enough for small fruit and vegetable prep, yet compact enough to remain agile.

Made from stainless steel for dependable corrosion resistance and straightforward maintenance.
As with other Windmühlenmesser knives, the blade is ground thin in Solingen using traditional techniques, giving it a noticeably light and efficient cutting feel compared to many Western equivalents.
