Cooks Knife 16cm - Velvet Oyster
Cooks Knife 16cm - Velvet Oyster
Velvet Oyster is a nod to the coastlines we know — cold waters, rough shells, clean salt. The handle’s soft grey finish calls up the look of fresh oyster flesh and weathered driftwood, understated but unmistakably sharp. It feels natural in the hand, familiar — like something that belongs on a stainless bench just as much as it does beside a plate of Te Matuku or Bluff.
Behind it is WÜSTHOF’s signature blade — high-carbon stainless steel, precision-cut in Solingen, Germany. It’s sharp, balanced, and built for long shifts. The handle’s lightweight build and smooth matte surface hold steady through wet prep and fast service.
