Slice a loaf of crusty sourdough or a spongy angel food cake using this knife. It measures 10-in. long and has a serrated edge that cuts without tearing. It's ideal for breads, cakes or pastries. Wusthof, established in Solingen, Germany in 1814, is one of the world's premier manufacturers of forged cutlery. Le Cordon Bleu, founded in Paris in 1895, is recognized as the world leader in professional culinary education with 25 schools located in 15 countries. Excelling at what each does best, the two companies have recently combined their years of expertise to create the Le Cordon Bleu collection by Wusthof. Their high-end cutting tools are precision-forged from a single blank of high carbon steel with incredibly sharp, specially polished edges. The knives feature distinctively lighter bolsters that are more agile, thus reducing fatigue even with the repetitive motions associated with dicing, peeling or chopping. The handles have no seams that might otherwise attract food particles or juices, making them completely hygienic, and are triple-riveted for added strength. The blades are stamped by each company's logo - the marks of high standards and the promise of years of exceptional performance.Designed in conjunction with chefs at the legendary Parisian culinary arts school, the Wusthof Classic Le Cordon Bleu collection showcases a trimmed bolster that reduces fatigue and allows full use of the entire blade.
Featuring a rounded tip and ultra-sharp serrated blade, this beautifully balanced 10-inch super slicer cuts easily through crusty loaves of bread without mashing and also slices roasts with the perfection professionals expect.Like all Classic knives, the serrated knife is precision forged from a single piece of high-carbon, stain-resistant steel. The blade has been impeccably ground, tapered, and polished, and its edge laser-tested for uniformity. Traditional in look, Classic Le Cordon Bleu knives are seamlessly constructed with a visible full tang triple-riveted into an ergonomically-shaped synthetic handle. Though the knife is dishwasher-safe, Wusthof recommends hand-washing all fine cutlery. Made in Germany, the knife is fully guaranteed to be free of defects in materials and/or craftsmanship. --Ann Bieri
