The right cutlery for today's chef. Sleek, sharp blade is made of stainless steel and is precision-forged, creating a flawless, durable edge. Features a trimmed bolster for no-hassle maintenance. Slip-resistant handle with pebble-grain texture. Lifetime warranty.

One of the kitchen’s most useful knives, this six-inch cook’s knife chops, minces, and dices with finesse. A rigid blade and a slight curve enable the knife to be used with the economic rocking motion that most chefs prefer. Wusthof’s Grand Prix2 knives differ slightly from the original Grand Prix line in that they feature a redesigned handle with more ergonomic curve and a squared-off end. Contemporary in look, the pebble-grain synthetic handle is molded over an extended tang for a sure, comfortable grip. Because there is less steel in the tang, a Grand Prix2 cook’s knife offers slightly less heft than its Classic counterpart, yet more than the trim Le Cordon Bleu. All are beautifully balanced.

Like all Grand Prix and Classic knives, the cook’s 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. After repeated use, the edge may be easily resharpened using a sharpening steel. 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
