The perfect mango knife
The Wuesthof Grand Prix II Utility Knife is for sure the most used knife in our kitchen. We have it now since over 6 years and I expect it to work for the next 20 or so more years. I use it for almost everything and it has the nick-name the mango knife. It works really well on all larger fruits and vegetables, meat and even on some fish. The utility knife is well balanced and very comfortable to hold even for longer working times. It kept its sharp edge for a very long time, but as with all forged knives they should be sharpened regularly.
It is easy to sharpen again; I use the Wuesthof steel or my WMF sharpener (I love that one!) or my Wuesthof ceramic sharpener (I had to find out my favorite sharpener by trying them all).
I am hand-washing my forged knives right after use and I keep them well and dry stored in a wooden knife block. Forged knives should not be washed in a dish washer. The knives are expensive, but I do want to enjoy my daily work in the kitchen and I do...
EXPENSIVE BUT WORTH IT
My son is a chef. When he cooks at my house, he brings his own knives because he doesn't like mine. He recommended that I upgrade a few of my knives to WUSTHOF Grand Prix. I'm so glad I did. Cutting and chopping is a breeze with these knives. They are very sharp.
Worth the price? You decide.
This is a near-perfect knife. The handle design is especially nice, and the blade is long enough to be meaningful. Is it worth the FORTUNE you have to pay? Probably not. A $7 grocery-store utility knife will do the job but not as elegantly. Will you use it every day? Then the additional quality and beauty of this knife may represent good value.
