The slightly curved, rigid blade facilitates both the rocking motion that most professionals use in chopping, and a higher-impact approach for heavy, dense foods. You need at least two sizes, since blade length and knife weight should be proportionate to the task, but the most important criterion is comfort -- the knife should feel good in your hand.
Wusthof Culinar is a luxurious all-steel design that unites tabletop elegance and professional performance. The precision-forged blade of high-carbon, stain-resistant steel has a long-lasting edge that is honed by hand. The ergonomic handle, sculpted of satin-finished 18/10 stainless steel, is joined seamlessly to a full full tang for optimum balance and strength. Dishwasher safe, but hand-washing is recommended. Made in Solingen, Germany.
