Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Wusthof Grand Prix 10-Inch Wide Cook's Knife
Customer Review: Excellent knife that feels "right" in your hands!
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked-up a 10" Wushtof Chef (the one on this page) and a 6" Chef when I was in Germany and I love them. The 10" is large enough that you can cut large items and also has a wider blade that helps with "proper" chopping technique for those of us who are not "professionals". Of course, the wider blade also allows you to scoop-up a good amount of ingredients for transfer to where-ever you need them.Even for being such a large blade, the knife is light, balanced and easy to handle. I anticipate that these knives will last me a lifetime if properly cared for (for example, I always use the honing rod before use which will help prevent the need for sharpening). I recommend these knives to everyone I know who enjoys cooking even the least bit and I feel it's better to have a few well-selected quality knives than one of those "sets" of cheapies (most of which are filled with blade styles you'll never use anyway).
Description of Wusthof Grand Prix 10-Inch Wide Cook's Knife
Chefs with larger hands will favor the length and heft of a 10-inch cook's knife for chopping, slicing, and mincing tasks. The 10-inch is also the right length for cutting larger fruits and vegetables, such as melons, winter squash, or coconuts.Wüsthof's Grand Prix knives are formed with the perfect balance of high-carbon no-stain steel so knives retain their edges longer and never become discolored. The blades are ground and polished by computer, ensuring perfect tapering from bolster to tip, and the edges are then hand honed for precision slicing. The tang extends through the slip-free, molded polypropelene handle for excellent balance and heft. This knife is dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve the blade. --Cristina Vaamonde
