Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Elegant satin-finish handles sculpted from 18/10 stainless steel to fit the hand snugly distinguish Culinar knives from Wüsthof's other cutlery lines. Otherwise Culinar knives are exactly like other Wüsthof knives, embodying all the virtues that have earned the German manufacturer world renown. The principal parts of a Wüsthof knife--blade, bolster, and tang--are forged from a single piece of high- carbon stainless steel, and the blade is precisely tapered from bolster to tip and from back to hand-honed edge. Blades and beautifully formed bolsters are not as thick as some knives'. As a result, despite their heft, strength, and durability, Wüsthof knives are pleasingly delicate and marvelously balanced in action. This 2-1/2-inch specialty knife has no bolster because the blade's heel needs to be sharp. The wedge-shaped blade is specifically designed for cracking chunks off a wheel of Parmesan in the traditional Italian style. This knife should be hand washed. --Fred Brack

Product Description

The short and sturdy blade is ideal for scoring and separating even the firmest Parmesan cheese. 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.
Dimensions: blade: 2¾"L
