Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Wusthof Culinar 7 in. Chef's Knife 4589-18
Customer Review: Outstanding utensil
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my main knife, although I do use the hollow-edge 7" Santoku more often it seems. 9" is perfect, and the belly is shaped really well...with a round upper half, and a straight lowerhalf near the bolster...which allows dicing quite effectively.
Keeps its edge very well, and while you will have to file the spine to achieve a comfortable grip, I feel the shape is more versatile than the competing knife at this top level...the Kershaw Sun Ken Onion, which is pretty, requires no filing, and is rounded the entire length of the blade.
This isn't a knife for idiots.
Description of Wusthof Culinar 7 in. Chef's Knife 4589-18
The cooking enthusiast's best friend and the most essential knife in the kitchen for cutting, chopping, slicing, and dicing fruits, vegetables, meat, and poultry. The precision forged blade, bolster, and tang are married to a hand-sculpted handle of the finest 18/10 stainless steel with an elegant satin finish.Wüsthof knives offer a harmonious blend of precision cutting performance, integrity of materials, safety, and comfort. The knife is hot-drop forged by hand from a single blank of high carbon no-stain steel, a specially alloyed surgical steel consisting of exacting proportions of carbon, chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium. The blade is perfectly tapered from bolster to tip, and from the back of the blade to the edge, and is honed by hand. Perfect balance is assured by the full extension of the tang through the length of the handle. A seamless fit at the bolster prevents food particles from entering.
Size: 7"
Dimensions: blade: 7"L
Materials: High carbon steel blade with 18/10 stainless steel handle
Care: Dishwasher safe, although hand washing with a mild detergent is recommended
Product of Solingen, Germany
NOTE: Caution: The chef's knife has been purposely ground extra thin for the ultimate cutting performance. Chopping through bones will damage the fine edge.
