The Wüsthof Gourmet 10-Inch Slicing Knife is a versatile and high-performing kitchen tool. Its extra-long, 10-inch narrow blade features a round tip and a hollow-ground scalloped edge, allowing it to slice quickly without crushing or tearing the food. This makes it ideal for slicing through boneless meat or fish, large crusty artisan loaves, or a basketful of summer tomatoes.
Unlike serrated edges, this knife can be easily resharpened using a steel. The blade is precision-stamped from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, ensuring a sharp edge that holds its sharpness well. The high-carbon stainless steel is the same premium-quality material used in Wüsthof's renowned Classic forged knives, but the Gourmet Series blade is thinner, resulting in a lighter and more maneuverable knife.
The full-tang, three-rivet synthetic polypropylene handle provides superior balance and durability, and it is securely attached to the blade for enhanced control and stability. Despite being moderately priced, this Gourmet Series knife shares many of the features and performance characteristics of Wüsthof's Classic line, making it a great companion to the brand's premium offerings.
The large serrations or scallops on the blade allow for effortless slicing through crusty bread, roasts, hams, and even soft-skinned fruits and vegetables like tomatoes. The knife is dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended to protect the blade's sharp edge.
Measuring approximately 15 by 1-1/2 by 1/2 inches, this Wüsthof Gourmet 10-Inch Slicing Knife is a versatile and durable addition to any kitchen. It comes with a limited lifetime warranty, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability. Whether you're preparing a large, crusty artisan loaf or slicing through a basketful of summer tomatoes, this knife is an excellent choice for a wide range of cutting tasks.
