Product Description
A finely crafted, razor-sharp, stainless steel knife is an investment worth making. Especially when it's hand-forged in Germany by Wusthof's skilled craftsmen.

Traditional, durable riveted handles. Dishwasher safe; lifetime warranty.
Amazon.com Review
Smaller than most slicing knives but large enough to cut sandwiches, this knife is a great kitchen helper. Its thin, flared-tip blade glides effortlessly through sandwich fillings such as meat or cold cuts, and also works well to cut fruit and vegetables into delicate slices. Cooks who own a sandwich knife come to rely on its precision and versatility. Part of the Classic series, this knife represents two centuries of unexcelled Wüsthof craftsmanship. Like other cutlery in the series, it's hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength; the hand-polished blade is exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when it's honed or sharpened. Dishwasher-safe and with a traditionally shaped, ergonomically designed handle that is triple-riveted for durability, this knife brings a guaranteed lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to any cook who owns it. --Arthur Boehm

 this is a wonderful knife for more than sandwiches September 8, 2008

I love this knife and do not think it is just for sandwiches! I use this for cutting everything, and I find it much more easier to handle than a chef's/cook's knife. It is bigger than a paring knife, and yet handles like one, so it is perfect slicing things like cheese, apples and yes, sandwiches.
So satisfied... January 16, 2007

My old favorite for almost 30 years was the 6" chef's knife until this one moved in a year ago.
One reviewer opined that the 4" and 8" blades take care of either end of the spectrum, so who needs this knife? Me. Think of it as a broad spectrum knife! I use it and skip the 4" and 8" knives. Even though the other knives are available, this is the one I go for most of the time. I also prefer it to our beautiful Santoku knife.
Another reviewer thought it too expensive. Well, not when it's my favorite knife! It's a comfortable and capable tool, with an edge that won't quit. The shape, length and weight of this slightly slimmer blade as well as the overall balance in my hand are perfect for me.

I bought this knife for my dad a few weeks ago (for fathers' day). He uses it almost exclusively in place of his older knives now! The 6-inch design is a perfect length for almost any job, too.
When I was researching, a good number of people said that it was not multi-functional enough to be worth the price. I found that the knife definitely has some things it does better than others, but it still does a fine job cutting vegetables; the taller blade does optimize it for sandwiches and such, but does great with many utility knife jobs.
 Ok knife, but why? May 6, 2003

It's not that this isn't a high quality knife, it is. For that quality, I'll give it four stars. It's got a full bolster, and it's forged (not stamped) in the German style. It's very hard, and takes a good edge, that lasts well. It's perhaps a bit tough to get an edge on without knowing what you're doing if using a flat stone, so for that I'll give it four not five stars. The thing is, why do you need a $...sandwich knife? Many other companies make many other knives in a similar style and shape that cost a fraction what this knife does. Forschner comes to mind. Sure it would be stamped and wouldn't have a full bolster, but it would cost $... instead of $..., and for a knife you're really not going to use that often you should save the money and get yourself a better chef knife. Forschner makes a monderful 5-6" utility knife that looks like a mini chef knife that is great for cuting vegetables, and doubles as a terrific sandwich knife. I frankly only have this knife because it came in a set with a 8" chefs knife and a pairing knife.
Good Knife, But How Many Uses? March 21, 2002

There are really two main competitors in the high-end mainstream kitchen knife market: Henckels and Wusthof. Those who have used both usually have a preference. My preference (and therefore bias you should know about) is for the Wusthofs.The Wusthof Classic line is the more conservative counterpart to the Grand Prix line. The only difference, however, is the handle style. I personally prefer the Grand Prix, but this is an issue of personal preference. The balance and grip of these knives are as close to perfect as I have found. For those wondering what benefits a higher priced knife provides, one benefit is that the blade (or tang) is one piece all the way through the handle. This makes the blade much stronger, and less likely to snap. This particular model is the 6 inch sandwich knife. I don't find this knife to be particularly useful in everyday usage. The 8 inch chef's knife, or 4 inch utility knife work just fine for jobs on either end of the spectrum. Do you really need this expensive of a knife to cut baloney? I don't. Don't get me wrong; this is a good high quality knife. However, for the mainstream chef, I think its usage will be minimal, and thus it is overkill.
