On the Cutting Edge with WÜSTHOF Knives

~ Disclaimer: We received complimentary samples of WÜSTHOF Knives to facilitate this review. All opinions expressed here are our own.

Many of us have a kitchen stocked with gadgets for any number of uses – some we use all the time, and others that may err on the side of “gimmicky” or under-used! Ease of use, practicality and safety make WÜSTHOF, a leading maker of fine cutlery for over 200 years, a brand respected by both professional chefs and home cooks.

WÜSTHOF CLASSIC IKON 6-inch Extra Wide Cook’s Knife’s extra-wide handle ensures the most power with the least amount of effort. This, combined with keeping your WÜSTHOF knives sharp, prevents the slips and injuries that can occur with oft-used kitchen blades. For smaller tasks like slicing and peeling small produce like garlic or even herbs, the CLASSIC IKON 4-inch Extra Wide Paring Knife proves another versatile kitchen tool to own. Both knives are also available in a Chef’s set, with a suggested retail price of $199.99.

With warm weather approaching, our minds wander to refreshing summer salads and fresh grilled vegetables. All the more reason to keep the CLASSIC IKON 6-inch Salad Knife on hand (suggested retail price of $149.99)! The wide blade and serrated edge is ideal for slicing vegetables. We notice a big difference in using this type of knife when working with tomatoes. Though they wear a tough skin, duller knives tend to press down on the tomato, squishing their delicate insides (and all the juice and flavor)! For a quick and easy bruschetta recipe, chop up some tomatoes, and use the same knife to cut slices of crusty bread. Toast on a grill and serve warm with olive oil drizzled overtop!

When we invest in quality knives like WÜSTHOF, with proper care and sharpening, they can last a lifetime. Professional-quality WÜSTHOF knives not only safely slice and dice with ease, but also make great gifts, and with Father’s Day and wedding season approaching, what could be better than curating a line of kitchen cutlery that will be used daily and for years to come?

WÜSTHOF knives are only available at licensed retailers, so please visit www.WUSTHOF.com to find one near you.
