Wusthof Grand Prix II 8-Inch Hollow-Ground Cook's Knife
Cook's knives are indispensable kitchen helpers. This 8-inch cook's knife by Wusthof is no exception. Use it to perform a wide variety of cutting chores, from mincing and chopping to slicing and dicing fruit, vegetables, meat, and more. The knife's hollow-edge blade provides a row of oval-shaped grooves along its cutting edge, which increases efficiency, helping to prevent food from sticking. By trapping air during chopping, food is less likely to adhere and more likely to fall to the side. For enhanced convenience, its large blade surface can also be used to scoop and carry minced or cubed ingredients to waiting pans or bowls. Overall, the cook's knife measures approximately 13 by 2 by 1/2 inches.As part of the Wusthof Grand Prix II collection, the 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.
