Product Review

Lightweight and balanced, Wusthof’s Grand Prix2 8-inch bread knife evenly slices rustic artisan breads as easily as pound or angel food cake. When moved back and forth in a sawing motion, the bread knife’s signature, scalloped edge cuts through without crushing or crumbling. Even thick crusts and heartier breads won’t be a problem--and speeding up the birthday cake serving process comes as an added bonus. Delicate or hearty, this knife is up to the task.

Offering superior craftsmanship and a lifetime warranty, this blade reflects the commitment to quality associated with its renowned manufacturer. Similar to other Wusthof knives, the blade, bolster, and tang are precision-forged from a single piece of high-carbon, stain-resistant steel. Additionally, the tang extends almost the full length of the handle reinforcing the tool’s strength and reliability. Thanks to a sturdy steel bolster, knuckles remain protected while the ergonomically designed handle affords a comfortable hold to reduce hand strain. Made in Solingen, Germany; hand washing is recommended. --Amy Arnold
