The beloved chef Emeril Lagasse has teamed up with renowned cutlery company Wusthof to create Emerilware knives--a collection designed to deliver great performance without breaking the bank. Crafted in Wusthof's German factories, Emerilware knives feature blades that are laser-cut from high-carbon German steel. This material is durable, handsome, and stain-resistant, as well as excellent at retaining a sharp edge. Emerilware knife handles are ergonomic in shape with a nonslip grip and sport the Wusthof trident insignia at the end. All Emerilware knives are stamped on the blade with both the Emeril signature and the Wusthof logo, making them great gifts for Emeril fans. This Emerilware set includes a cutting board and an 8-inch bread knife great for slicing fresh loaves or making quick work of big tomatoes. The cutting board is fashioned from bamboo, which is both highly durable and easier on the environment than many hardwoods. The design combines comfortable rounded edges, a subtle striped surface, and the Wusthof logo. For best maintenance, both knife and cutting board should be washed and dried by hand. --Emily Bedard

...very decent knife and board.
»
The blade is ideal..it is not in IMHO thin. It is sharp...be careful.
Designed to cut most breads. If you have special needs than perhaps a different knife is required. I also have a Chicago bread knife that is longer for bigger/crustier loaves. Considering what many people use out there this is VERY good.
The board is not large..than again the picture illustrates that. No surprise. What I like about the board .. the easy grab sides. The board is not too thick and has non skid rubber tabs.
I too paid $14. At the current $40..I would look at other knives and boards.

Somewhat disappointing
»
I was disappointed in the quality of the knife -- thin, flexible blade, although it is better than the slicer also in this line. And the board is so small that it really is useless to me. There are much better knives at this price point ... including OXO, Victronox and Anolon. Don't let the Wusthof name fool you. Don't let the Emeril name fool you either.
I gave it four stars because the price was right -- $14 -- and it was better than the slicing knife in the same line. I rarely need a bread knife, so it will do. But I'm still thinking about returning it.
