Wusthof Gourmet 6-Inch Sandwich Knife

Product Review

For cutting just about anything from sandwiches to fruit, this versatile, very sharp knife from Wüsthof's moderately priced Gourmet line performs with perfection. Made in Solingen, Germany, home of Wüsthof since 1814, Gourmet blades are precision-cut by laser from sheets of high-carbon, stain-resistant steel, resulting in a slightly thinner profile and lighter weight than the company's revered forged steel blades. There is no bolster, but there is a full-tang. As with the more expensive Wüsthof Classic knives, Gourmet handles are made of a triple-riveted, black composite shaped to fit the hand comfortably.

Gourmet series knives make excellent, affordable gifts for any home cooking enthusiast. The knives are covered by a lifetime warranty and are dishwasher-safe, though Wüsthof recommends washing and drying its cutlery by hand. --Ann Bieri

This review is from: Wusthof Gourmet 6-Inch Sandwich Knife (Kitchen)

Do not buy this knife at full price. If this retailed for $54 on Amazon the price was inflated. The knife is thinner and quite lightweight compared to the other Wusthof knives I own, without the flared bolster that is usually between the blade and the tang on a Wusthof knife which gives the blade its weight and heft. The tang is a full tang from end to end, but not top to bottom in the handle. The Gourmet line looks as if as if it were stamped out of a sheet of metal and sharpened. I was at an upscale kitchen store today and they had this style of knife from a higher-end Wusthof line full price for only $44.95, with a flared bolster and full tang. I got this knife on sale but by no means did I get a good deal.
