Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Wusthof 979779 Classic 6-Inch Cook's Knife

Customer Review: A great addition to my knife collection
Summary: 4 Stars

This knife is great, but I wouldn't consider it a replacement for my 8" wusthof ikon chef's knife. It's a great tool to have on hand for smaller jobs like throwing together a salad for one or two, or chopping a garlic clove. I prefer the smaller blade for little things like that and my larger chef's knife for chopping numerous ingredients, big items, or fine dicing. I like a little more surface area and this knife does feel small-ish. Bottom line... if you only have one good knife, go a little bigger. If you're expanding your collection, this is a great option.

Description of Wusthof 979779 Classic 6-Inch Cook's Knife

Prized possessions of professional chefs, Wusthof knives are an invaluable asset of any kitchen. Every element of this renowned cutlery contributes to its precision and ease of use. In Solingen, Germany, each piece is hand-forged in 38 manufacturing steps by skilled craftsmen. The high-carbon stainless steel blades are hardened to maintain a sharp edge and full tangs provide perfect balance with riveted, high-impact composition handles. 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..
