Wusthof Classic 10-Inch Super Slicer
The Classic cutlery line bears all the traits that Wusthof knives are known for: impeccable construction, incredible sharpness, and long-lasting durability. Each Classic knife is precision-forged--blade, bolster, and tang--from a single piece of high-carbon, stain-resistant steel. The blade is tested by lasers and honed by hand, with computer-controlled front-to-back tapering, grinding, and polishing. A visible full tang--the blade’s shaft runs the entire length of the handle--ensures excellent balance and strength. Classic handles are molded from a durable black synthetic called Hostaform-C with traditional triple riveting. The knives promise a lifetime of hard-working companionship in the kitchen.With the second longest blade in Wusthof's slicer line-up, the super slicer is the knife to reach for when slicing meats or fresh-baked bread. Instead of using standard pointed serration, the slicer's blade features reverse serration that, while unmistakably sharp, slices less aggressively for minimal tearing. Like the rest of the knives in the Classic collection, this one can go in the dishwasher. Wusthof recommends washing by hand, however, for maximum blade performance and long life.
