WSTHOF Gourmet 8 Inch Offset Deli Knife German Made Scalloped Edge 8 Deli Knife Precision Forged HighCarbon Stainless Steel German Deli Knife – Model 41217

Product description Easily slice bread evenly with this Gourmet offset deli knife from Wusthof. Featuring a chrome-molybdenum-vanadium steel blade for long lasting durability, it is forged from a single piece of tempered high carbon steel to ensure outstanding strength. With Precision Edge Technology that provides extraordinary sharpness and 30 percent longer blade retention, this knife is resistant to odor absorption and staining. The triple riveted ergonomic handle is made from durable synthetic material. Backed by a manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty, it also has a bolster that acts as a finger guard and provides a solid balanced feel. 7" L Amazon.com A moderately priced companion to Wüsthof's renowned Classic forged knives, this Gourmet series 8-inch bread knife has the same full-tang, three-rivet, virtually indestructible poly handle as Classic knives. Instead of being forged, however, Gourmet series blades are cut from steel sheets by precision lasers. That means they have no bolsters. But it also means they are perfectly shaped and fit handles seamlessly. And the blades' high-carbon stainless steel is identical to that of Wüsthof's premium knives, only thinner. The bread knife has a raised handle for comfort when slicing through crusty loaves, making it easier to cut cleanly through the bottom crust. The knife is dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended to protect its edge. --Fred Brack
