When it comes to kitchen tools, left-handed cooks are often overlooked. This 9-inch bread knife, however, is specially-made for lefties. Its edge is sharpened on the opposite side from standard knives--so left-handers can slice sourdough, or split a loaf of focaccia bread through the center without having to contort their wrist into an awkward position. The serrated blade slices straight through without tearing bread.
Part of Wüsthofs Classic line of cutlery, this knifes blade is hand-forged from high-carbon steel, so it retains its sharp edge longer and is easier to re-sharpen. The blade is ground and polished by computer to ensure perfect tapering from tip to bolster. A signature feature of Wüsthof knives, a weighted bolster gives this fillet knife the perfect heft. For balance, a full tang extends through a traditional-style, synthetic handle, and is triple-riveted for strength. A stain-resistant alloy keeps the blade clean as long as the knife is hand washed after each use. Wüsthof covers all Classic cutlery with a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
