Wusthof Grand Prix II 6"Hollow Edge Chef's Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The title of my review pretty much says it all; it has good heft for a smallish knife, excellent balance, fits well in my hand(I have somewhat large hands) and stays razor sharp with minimal fuss.

The price might make you hesitate at first, but in this case you DO get what you pay for.

Some tips for this (or any) knife's care:
* get a nice sharpening steel -- it doesn't have to be anything special/fancy
* use the steel every time you use ANY knife -- just 5 or 6 gentle swipes per side
* DON'T store it (or ANY knife) in a storage block -- use a magnetic knife rack

Product Description:
The Wusthof Grand Prix II 6-inch Hollow Edge Chef s Knife is the perfect knife for slicing and dicing vegetables. Kullens along the knife edge create small air pockets that prevent food from sticking to the blade and slowing down prep work. Like all fine cutlery, the hollow edge blade should be honed regularly with a sharpening steel. This helps minimize the need for sharpening, and is especially important for knives with a scalloped edge that can be worn down by repeated sharpening. Each knife in the Wusthof Grand Prix II Cutlery series is precision forged from a specialized high carbon, stain-resistant alloy known as chrom-molybdenum steel. This high-tech material ensures that knife blades will retain a razor sharp edge that is both long lasting and easy to restore. The polished steel blade runs the full length of the handle for a balanced, full tang design. The bolster comfortably protects fingers and gives the knife an authoritative heft that gourmet cooks appreciate. Like all Wusthof cutlery, this kitchen knife should be hand washed to prevent damage to the blade edge.
