Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Don't get nervous about carving the turkey at your next holiday dinner. A good carving knife is an invaluable asset at any table. This knife from Wüsthof's premier Grand Prix line works well for large cuts of meat, from rack of lamb to suckling pig. The blade stays super sharp, making carving easy.

Wüsthof's Grand Prix line improves upon its Classic line by adding an ergonomically designed handle and a contemporary look. Each Grand Prix implement is forged by hand from a single piece of high-quality carbon steel, using a 38-step process. A full tang--a single piece of steel from the tip of the knife to the end of the handle--gives each piece a balanced feel, superior strength, and lifetime durability. Peer into the private kitchens of professional chefs, and chances are you'll see Wüsthof knives. Wüsthof-Trident understands the art of the knife. --Amy Adams

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Blade but Bad Handle, October 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Wusthof Grand Prix 10-Inch Long Slicer (Kitchen)

Wusthof is well-known for its strong and sharp blade. However, in this particular line, the handle is so tiny and the texture on it makes the handle more slippery. Otherwise, it has a nice looking handle with its logo, and the blade is as great as the other lines of Wusthof. I would prefer to stick with the Wusthof Classic line or the Henckels 4 star line for the similar handle type.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wrong Size, Not Good Balance, November 12, 2001

This review is from: Wusthof Grand Prix 10-Inch Long Slicer (Kitchen)

There are really two main competitors in the high-end mainstream kitchen knife market: Henckels and Wusthof. Those who have used both usually have a preference. My preference (and therefore bias you should know about) is for the Wusthofs.

The Wusthof Grand Prix line is a more modern design than the Classic series, with a simple black handle. The balance and grip of most of these knives are as close to perfect as I have found. However, this particular model, the 10 inch slicer, is too long and thin. The balance is not right, and it is difficult to control. This knife is high quality, but too long.

Finally, there are really few uses for this knife where either a chef's knife or a shorter knife would not be a better choice. Great knife, bad size and balance.
