Wusthof Classic 10-Inch Ham-and-Roast Slicer



Still the best!
We've been purchasing Wusthof Classic knives for over 30 years. They are well made, properly weighted and hold an edge nicely. This purchase was for our adult daughter. The knife looks and functions exactly like the one we've owned since we've been married.

It is nice to find products that haven't lost their quality over the years. We highly recommend the Whusthof Classic line - but beware - Wusthof now makes a less expensive line, the Gourmet series. We were disappointed in how they performed as compared to the Classic knives.

Wusthof Classic 10-Inch Serrated Slicing Knife



Favorite Knife
I just love this knife. It's practically the only one I ever want to use in the kitchen. I consider it to be the perfect knife because the blade is the right length, the handle is perfection, and the balance is superb. Yes, it's pricey, but so well worth it.

Sent the wrong knife
It's not that I hated the knife, they just sent the wrong one. Wusthof knives are the best. We have a full set plus the steak knives and are very happy with them.

Wusthof Classic 9-Inch Carving Knife



Another Wusthof classic to love
This long slicing knife has recently been added to my Wusthof knives and I am very pleased with the addition. This knife serves my needs when slicing large hams, roasts and other pieces of meat. It is large enough to do the job on a watermelon and still fits easily in my Wusthof knife block.

Wusthof knives are classic -- sturdy, well made, retain their edge and easy to hone or sharpen. A wonderful knife with a myriad of uses, I am happy with this new addition to my other Wusthof knives.

Love this knife!
I've tried other knives but this one is far superior. I would recommend this purchase.

Wusthof Classic 9-inch carving knife
I have used many knives over the past 35 years and was introduced to these knives by a German Neuropathologist. For me, Each knife lasts about 5 to 6 years before it is ground down too much in my experience. For a home owner would much longer. One to two times a week I sharpen them with Arkansas stones and then strop them. They hold an edge that would shave hair. I am switching over to Japanese stones as will give an even better edge. The steel is of excellent quality. The handles hold up to washing in a diswasher or autoclave. I have bought the knives with Ikon handles for my daughter. They are slightly easier to clean.

Wusthof Classic 12-Inch Long Slicing Knife



Excellent knife
I work at a sushi bar so I needed a knife that can easily cut through special rolls without messing up or squishing the toppings in 2 simple strokes.
Special rolls are hard to cut because they have to be covered with plastic wrap (this helps toppings from falling off the roll) and the knife
needs to cut through the plastic wrap and the roll very quickly.
The edge is really sharp, and grip and weight of the knife makes it comfortable to use.
I also have relatively new (less than a month old) Henckels Classic 8 inch slicing knife, and this Wusthof knife slices through rolls much better,
but that's to be expected since this knife costs almost 3 times more.

Only one thing I didn't like was the packaging.
It came with a cheap looking paper cover and it was taped to the handle. Even the much cheaper Henckel knife mentioned above came in a plastic packaging.
The tape was a pain to get off, and the sticky residue left behind from the tape is even...

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 2-Piece Chef Knife Set



exceptional value!
Superb product for the price. Nearly 35 years ago, while in Germany on business, I purchased a chef's knife from Henkels. We STILL have the knife, use it daily and treasure the old world attention to quality and detail. I hope the new ones lives up to that tradition and that my Grand kids will use them for the next 35 years!

Wusthof Classic 8-Inch Deli Knife



Move this one up on your priority list
I put off puchasing this knife for a long time, I knew I wanted it and it would make sandwich cutting a bit easier and I wouldnt bang my knuckles on the board anymore, but I procrastinated and put it off.

Now that I have this knife, I am disapointed I allowed myself to wait this long. This knife is amazing. It is not just a fancier version of the bread knife. This thing is in a whole different class when it comes to cutting breads. My old bread knife (also a Wushtof) is like trying to use a butter knife when compared to using this one. Add to that the benefit of it being more comfortable and the offset making it easier to use, and you have a real winner in this knife.

This knife puts a regular bread knife to shame and, unlike your bread knife, can be used for more than just cutting bread. The name Deli Knife is perfect for this knife. It cuts cheeses and hard deli meats effortlessly. It will blaze through a tall deli sandwich effortlessly without crushing...

Excellent multi-purpose knife
I have a fairly substantial collection of knives and this is becoming one of my favorites. The Wusthof classic line, some of which I've had for over 25 years, just seem to go on forever and still look great. Its scalloped blade makes short work of any breads,party subs,bagels,tomatoes, pot roast, ham--anything needing slicing with a touch precise enough to slice thinly without tearing. The offset construction provides a more secure grip and control for whatever slicing task is at hand. It's far from inexpensive, but when considering it multi-tasks as a tomato/bread/sandwich/slicer and carver(I'd use it carefully with boned meats to avoid any chance of dulling the edge),it was money well spent.

Wusthof knife - GREAT
This is one knife in a long list of Wushof knifes (around 20) I have bought for my wife. She loves the knife just like all the other but really likes the offset handle when she cuts bread or sandwich. She doesn't have to slide the bread or sandwich to the edge of the table to cut it any more.
