Forged in Solingen from the same high-carbon German steel that runs through Wusthof's adult ranges, then re-engineered for kids aged four and up — a 10cm blade ground to a wider 32-degree edge, a rounded tip, an extended finger guard, and a hand guard that keeps little fingers clear of the blade. Sharp enough to glide through strawberries, mushrooms and capsicum. Not sharp enough to cut a finger the way an adult knife would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a knife built around the truth that kids learn knife skills by using a knife, not a plastic toy. Under adult supervision, the Junior turns the kitchen into a place where children build coordination, focus and confidence — chopping alongside a parent or grandparent instead of watching from the bench. The ergonomic handle is sized for smaller hands, the balance is light, and the build is full-grade Wusthof, so it lasts as long as the child does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA genuine first knife. Not a toy. Not a starter.
