Wosthof Kleiner Steak Knife 4069-12cm

Elegant satin-finish handles sculpted from 18/10 stainless steel distinguish Culinar knives from Wsthof's other cutlery lines. Otherwise Culinar knives are identical to other Wsthof knives, embodying all the virtues that earn the German manufacturer world renown. The principal parts of a Wsthof knife--blade, bolster, and tang--are forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, and the blade is precisely tapered from bolster to tip and from back to hand-honed edge. Blades and beautifully formed bolsters are not as thick as some knives'. As a result, despite their heft, strength, and durability, Wsthof knives are pleasingly delicate and marvelously balanced in action. This 4-1/2-inch steak knife has a narrow, thin blade to neatly slice steaks, roasts, or chops into bite-size pieces. Like all fine cutlery, the knife should be hand washed with the care a lifetime investment deserves. --Fred Brack
