Wusthof Grand Prix 8-Inch Cook's Knife

Wusthof Grand Prix 8-Inch Cook's Knife Review



Wusthof Grand Prix 8-Inch Cook's Knife Feature

  • 8-inch blade, great for mincing, chopping, and slicing
  • Blade is hand forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel
  • Ergonomic, permanently bonded black handle
  • Lifetime warranty
  • Made in Germany
If you could only pack one knife for your trip to a desert island, this would be it! The cook's knife from Wüsthof's premier line, Grand Prix, is the most versatile knife in the kitchen. Use it for anything from mincing onions and garlic to slicing meat or fish to cutting up any size of vegetables or fruit. The curved blade allows you to rock it back and forth, making mincing and chopping effortless. This larger-size cook's knife will handle virtually any cutting job--you'll reach for it again and again.

Wüsthof's Grand Prix line improves upon its Classic line by adding an ergonomically designed handle and a contemporary look. Each Grand Prix implement is forged by hand from a single piece of high-quality carbon steel, using a 38-step process. A full tang--a single piece of steel from the tip of the knife to the end of the handle--gives each piece a balanced feel, superior strength, and lifetime durability. Peer into the private kitchens of professional chefs, and chances are you'll see Wüsthof knives. Wüsthof-Trident understands the art of the knife. --Amy Adams

Wusthof Classic 8-Inch Cook's Knife

Wusthof Classic 8-Inch Cook's Knife Review



Wusthof Classic 8-Inch Cook's Knife Feature

  • Heavy 8-inch blade superior for chopping and other cutting tasks
  • Forged high-carbon stainless steel blade, hand-honed for razor-like sharpness
  • Traditional-style composition handle is triple-riveted for strength and permanence
  • Dishwasher safe
  • Lifetime guarantee
This knife is produced by one of the most respected cutlery manufacturers in the world. Made of high carbon stainless-steel, it will not stain, pit or rust and will hold its edge. The metal used to construct the blade extends to the back of the handle which gives the knife perfect balance. The bolster which is the point that rests between your fingers and the blade is smooth and comfortable which makes this knife a pleasure to use when dicing, slicing and mincing. Wusthof's newest state of the art technology incorporates a new computer controlled method for putting the edge on Classic knives. This technology allows for an exacting edge from the tip of the knife down to the heel of the knife. With this newer precision, the knives are made sharper to 14 degrees per side for a total of 28 degrees. The knives are now sharper and this refinement increases the sharpness retention because exacting angles and edges last longer than edges sharpened by hand. The result is a knife that is 30% sharper and the ICP (Initial Cutting Performance) lasts twice as long..
