Wusthof 9655 Grand Prix II 2pc Starter Knife Set
A thoughtful gift idea for any cooking enthusiast, this two-piece starter set consists of an 8-inch cook's knife and a 3-1/2-inch paring knife--two often-used styles in any busy kitchen. Use the cook's knife for a wide variety of cutting chores, from mincing and chopping to slicing and dicing. For enhanced convenience, its large blade surface can also be used to scoop and carry chopped ingredients to waiting pans or bowls. The compact size, pointed tip, and ultra-fine blade edge of the paring knife makes it the ideal tool for trimming fruits and vegetables and other handheld tasks. Overall, the cook's knife measures approximately 13 by 2 by 1/2 inches, and the paring knife measures approximately 7-1/2 by 1 by 1/2 inches.As part of the Wusthof Grand Prix II collection, each knife's blade, bolster, and tang come precision-forged from a single piece of specially tempered high-carbon steel to ensure outstanding strength and balance. Wusthof knives offer sharp, precisely tempered blades for safe, efficient use. Laser tested for accuracy, the unique, compound angle of the blade tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to create a sturdy, yet extremely sharp cutting surface. Another thoughtful detail includes the hygienically seamless, full-tang, synthetic handles, which are ergonomically designed for a secure, comfortable grip. Made in Solingen Germany, "The Cutlery Capital of the World", Wusthof knives carry a lifetime warranty and should be hand washed for best results.
