Cooks Knife 16cm - Purple Yam
Cooks Knife 16cm - Purple Yam
Purple Yam makes a statement without being flashy — a deep, saturated violet that looks sharp in any kitchen. The handle has a clean, matte finish with a solid, contemporary feel — bold enough to stand out on the bench, refined enough to suit a serious setup.
The blade is classic WÜSTHOF: high-carbon stainless steel, precision-cut in Solingen, and built for daily use. Lightweight and comfortable in hand, it’s designed for control, balance, and minimal fatigue.
