Wusthof Grand Prix II Chef's Knife

Wusthof Grand Prix II Chef's Knife : No kitchen should be without this manual food processor. The mid section of the blade is remarkably appropriate for either firm or soft food. The gentle curve of the blade is ideal for mincing. The front of the blade is suitable for many small cutting jobs. The sturdy spine of the blade can be used to break up small bones or shellfish. The weight distribution is optimal at the heel of the blade and is used to chop through extremely firm food objects. The wide flat surface of the blade is suitable for flattening and shaping of meat cuts such as fillet as well as for lifting of the chopped product. Since 1814, knives bearing the Wusthof name and the Trident logo have been crafted in the world's "Cutlery Capital" of Solingen, Germany. Today, in a state-of-the-art facility, that tradition of quality is ensured as old-world craftsmanship meets twenty first century production methods.

Computer-controlled grinding and polishing perfect the tapering from back to edge and tip to handle.

This knife is fabulous! The handle is very comfortable in my small hands. It is lightweight which makes it easy to work for long times. That being said, I would use a larger, heavier knife for tougher vegies like butternut squash. But the precise, deftness if this knife is a joy to work with!

This is the 20th Wusthof knife that I've purchased and I'm highly impressed with each one of them. This 6 inch Chef's Knife is my favorite, for it's versatile enough to use for just about anything. As a matter of fact, I purchased this knife to take along with me, whenever I travel. Once you've used the best, everything else is frustrating! Keep up the good work, Wusthof, and thanks for offering this great product Chefs!
Pros: Full tang, balanced, quality, easy to use, multi-purpose, construction, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, Ergonomic handle, durability, Functional/Useful, Long-lasting, Forged

I have just 2 of them, but will not buy anything else from now on. I caught a good sale on the Grand Prix II. I couldn't wait to use it. I was not disappointed. It was so worth the money I paid. I love the look and it cut beautifully.

I've worked as a machinist for 30+ years and I appreciate tools that are reliable and durable. I purchased the Wusthof
Chef's knife and a few other items for use at my girlfriend's home. I've found that cheap cutlery makes cooking prep less enjoyable and more work that it should have to be. :-)

I had wanted this knife for some time. I used it the first day that it came. I am very pleased with it. It is just the right size for slicing and chopping food. It does an excellent job and is very easy to handle. Wish I had gotten it sooner but waited for it to be on sale.
Pros: easy to use, size, Performs Well

This is my second Wusthof Grand Prix 6 inch chef's knife. The first one is great, holds an edge and is wonderfully balanced, so I looked for a second one. I am in the kitchen w/ my son and nephew and when we get a dinner ready we need two of these great knives.

Very pleased with this knife. Got tired of wrestling with my cheap chef knife and decided it was time to buy a quality kinfe. After reading knife reviews comparing different brands I decided on the Wusthof Grand Prix II. It was well worth the investment. I can do same work in much less time and effort. Wish I would have bought one a long time ago.
