Overview:
Recommending a chef's knife for someone else can be tricky -- everyone's hands are different and a knife that feels great in my hand might not work for you. Having said that, this 8-inch Grand Prix II Chef's Knife by Wusthof is one very nice knife, indeed.
Full-Tang Blade:
The knife's blade extends all the way to the end of the handle, providing strength and balance.
Forged, Not Stamped:
Shaped under high temperature from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, a forged blade offers extra toughness and resilience as compared with the less expensive "stamped" blades.
Molded Handle:
Made of slip resistant plastic, which is more durable and more sanitary than knives with wood handles.
Ergonomic Grip:
Designed for maximum comfort, which is important because if a knife isn't comfortable, you won't use it.
Intangibles:
Wusthof's Grand Prix II series of kitchen knives is visually appealing, so it'll be right at home in even the nicest kitchen.
Warranty:
The Grand Prix II chef's knives come with a lifetime warranty.
