Ok knife but why? It's not that this isn't a high quality knife it is. For that quality I'll give it four stars. It's got a full bolster and it's forged not stamped in the German style. It's very hard and takes a good edge that lasts well. It's perhaps a bit tough to get an edge on without knowing what you're doing if using a flat stone so for that I'll give it four not five stars.The thing is why do you need a $sandwich knife? Many other companies make many other knives in a similar style and shape that cost a fraction what this knife does.Forschner comes to mind. Sure it would be stamped and wouldn't have a full bolster but it would cost $ instead of $ and for a knife you're really not going to use that often you should save the money and get yourself a better chef knife.Forschner makes a monderful 56 utility knife that looks like a mini chef knife that is great for cuting vegetables and doubles as a terrific sandwich knife.I frankly only have this knife because it came in a set with a 8 chefs knife and a pairing knife.
So satisfied My old favorite for almost 30 years was the 6 chef's knife until this one moved in a year ago. One reviewer opined that the 4 and 8 blades take care of either end of the spectrum so who needs this knife? Me. Think of it as a broad spectrum knife! I use it and skip the 4 and 8 knives. Even though the other knives are available this is the one I go for most of the time. I also prefer it to our beautiful Santoku knife. Another reviewer thought it too expensive. Well not when it's my favorite knife! It's a comfortable and capable tool with an edge that won't quit. The shape length and weight of this slightly slimmer blade as well as the overall balance in my hand are perfect for me.
Another Excellent Knife from Wüsthof I bought this knife for my dad a few weeks ago for fathers' day. He uses it almost exclusively in place of his older knives now! The 6inch design is a perfect length for almost any job too.When I was researching a good number of people said that it was not multifunctional enough to be worth the price. I found that the knife definitely has some things it does better than others but it still does a fine job cutting vegetables the taller blade does optimize it for sandwiches and such but does great with many utility knife jobs.
Fits the bill This is the perfect knife for those inbetween jobs. Larger than the paring knife but smaller than the larger chef's knife. Fits perfectly in my knife block as well.
Good Knife But How Many Uses? There are really two main competitors in the highend mainstream kitchen knife market Henckels and Wusthof. Those who have used both usually have a preference. My preference and therefore bias you should know about is for the Wusthofs.The Wusthof Classic line is the more conservative counterpart to the Grand Prix line. The only difference however is the handle style. I personally prefer the Grand Prix but this is an issue of personal preference. The balance and grip of these knives are as close to perfect as I have found.
extreamly useful knife My most used knife in the kitchen in my Wusthof 4 paring knife. The next most used knife is my Wusthof 6 3/8 Sandwich knife. This knife stays incredably sharp. It's blade is thinner than most other knives in its size including the Henkle. The blade taper starts almost from the very edge. These two factors helps it slice through what you are cutting easier that thicker knives. I have found the blade thickness to be a very big factor when cutting. I have Henkle knives also but they do not hold their edge anywhere as long as my Wuthof knives. My teenage kids refer to this Wusthof knife as the death knife because it is always so sharp and scarry to them. I use it for cutting bread works better than a serrated knife vegtables mellons and carving meats. The only use I have for my 8 knife is lettuce and carving turkeys. I get much more use out of this 6 knife.
Thin sharp and precise I just added this knife to my Wusthof collection. I arrived extremely sharp and is nice for semifine work. Activities like dicing shallots which are too small for a large 8 inch knife and to big for a paring knife are nice with this knife. Be careful though the tip of the blade is quite thin and will not stand up to abuse.
