Product Description
The Sandwhich Spreader from Wusthof features a high-carbon stainless steel blade, hardened to maintain a sharp edge, with a full tang that provides perfect balance. The saw-like scallops of the spreader cut easily through the tough skins of tomatoes as well as bread. Its oval shape is perfect for spreading. The extremely durable, impact-resistant polypropylene handle is buffed and polished by hand, is moisture- and food acid-resistant and is virtually indestructible. The seamless fit between handle, bolster and full-tang is totally hygienic. An invaluable asset to any kitchen, the knife is made in Solingen, Germany, where each piece is hand-forged in 38 manufacturing steps by skilled craftsmen..

This is a bread knife with a large spreader's head,
By D. Henderson (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wusthof 5-in. Gourmet Sandwich Spreader.
This Wusthof "spreader" combines a serrated bread knife with a spreader head. The knife edge side has serrated pointed teeth like a bread or tomato knife which makes it easier for me when I cut sandwiches, slice bagels, slice crusty rolls, and even slice tomatoes. The knife/spreader is just under 9 ½" long (from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle). The blade is both longer (just under 4 ¾") and the head of the knife is wider (just under 1 ¾" at its widest) than the spreader knife I use. There is just under 3 ¼" of serrations from the lower tip of the front of the knife going back to the handle. And the remaining edge is a straight knife blade that is a little over 1 ¾" long. Because this knife has no pointed tip, it takes just a bit of patience to carefully make that first opening in a bagel or roll before I can really begin slicing. Because this knife has sharp edges, use care if you have young kids helping to make sandwiches.
I prefer to put on spread using the non-serrated side of the knife but I'll have to keep the serrated side of the knife in mind when I put icing on things like cupcakes to put on fancy swirls. This Wusthof's Gourmet knife has what I'll call a full half tang. Huh? I can see a full tang on top of the handle while the bottom of the handle has no exposed tang. I'm guessing this gives the knife strength and me control when cutting. I like the fit between the tang and the handle: there is no gap just like any better quality knife. The instruction on the back of the blister package says they recommend hand washing the knife. Heck, it even recommends storing this knife in a knife block or basically treating the knife like it's a cutlery knife. So I wash this knife by hand and I use a knife guard to store this knife in my knife drawer. PROS: Combines a tomato/bread knife with a spreader so you can use one knife for making sandwiches or preparing your morning bagels. A larger head means less scooping from a jar and fewer strokes to put on spread. The longer blade means you can reach the bottom of most jars. CONS The wider head may make it difficult to get into some jar necks when compared with other spreaders.

The best sandwich spreader, period.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wusthof 5-in. Gourmet Sandwich Spreader.
If you look around, most sandwich spreaders are small, frumpy blades that are made for little more than buttering a muffin. Not this Wusthof, which includes its classic handle design along with a strong sharply serrated blade that flexes slightly. As usual, Amazon has the dimensions wrong. This knife measures 9.25 inches long and its blade is 2" wide. You're not cheated on handle length either; it's the same as other classic Wusthof knives. That means it can reach to the bottom of most jars with ease. If you've never had a spreader around the house, you're in for a treat. It's a tool you will use for the rest of your life, and one of these Wusthof spreaders will last that long. Don't leave them soaking in water nor submit them to the dishwasher; they clean quickly and easily, then wipe dry.
