W?sthof Silverpoint II 10-Inch Cook's Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned this knife for a couple of months now.I was finding my 8" knives too small for my general knife work, and decided to get a 10" chef knife.

This was my first Wusthof knife, but probably won't be my last.The handle is some sort of man-made material but is reasonably comfortable.The blade is very sharp - possibly the sharpest I've ever had out of the box.I grip up on a knife so that my thumb and forefinger grasp the blade of the knife.At first, this knife felt very uncomfortable like that but I did get used to it.

The overall weight of the knife, to me, seems too light.That's the main reason I'm giving it a 4 star rating. A knife this long seems to demand more weight before you feel totally in balance with it. Chopping a winter squash in half, for example, with a knife this long should feel steady and easy.With the light weight, I feel that I have to be very careful what I do when doing a more difficult job.

For things like dicing potatoes, this knife is easy to use.It can slice even the ripest tomato paper thin with hardly any pressure from you at all, and that is a feat for a lot non-serrated knives.I gave up using my serrated bread knife, and use this instead - it cuts easier and cleaner. Chopping garlic into a fine dice and then making it to a paste?A breeze with this knife.

At this point, 3 months in, I've never had to sharpen the blade and it is still razor sharp.A knife this sharp demands respect when you use it, when you clean it, and when you store it.

Product Description:
For everyday chopping, mincing, and slicing jobs, the 10-inch Cook's Knife is often called the chef's best friend. It's also available in an 8-inch size for the chef with smaller hands. Choose according to comfort. The knife was expertly crafted from high-carbon, no-stain steel in Solingen, Germany, the cutlery capital of the world. For higher precision and edge integrity, the blade was laser cut instead of stamped. Each Wusthof blade is precisely tempered to hold its edge for a great length of time, so external maintenance is rarely required. The knife's unique compound angle tapers from the spine to the edge, allowing for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge. It also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength and flexibility. The knife features a riveted handle with a contoured shape for comfort and control. Washing by hand is recommended for best care.
