Crafted by one of the premiere knife makers in the world -- Wusthof of Solingen, Germany - these knives offer more to the passionate cook, than just a handsome look. The precision bolster is properly angled for a comfortable grip, and is abbreviated so you can sharpen the full length of the blade from tip to heel. Though the handle is slightly heftier than the blade, its unique shape makes it extremely comfortable and a joy to work with.
