A Cut Like No Other: Wusthof Le Cordon Knives

By Moses Harun

Wusthof has been manufacturing excellent knives for the kitchen for close to two centuries. In fact, Wusthof has teamed up with the Le Cordon Bleu Academie D'Art Culinare, the most well-known cooking academy in Paris, to create the Le Cordon Bleu line of knives. These knives boast quality blades and handles and are backed by a lifetime guarantee. There are several Wusthof Le Cordon Bleu knife sets on the market, also.

The quality knives employed here have been engineered by Wusthof and Le Cordon Bleu as a means of offering the top quality knives for the home cook. The knives contained in these sets are very much like the knives depended upon by the Le Cordon Bleu school in Paris. Every knife has been forged from tough stainless steel that is razor-sharp and easy to handle. It is also simple to sharpen the edge when needed. It also boasts a bolster feature that adds to the durability of these knives. Another nice option is the Wusthof Classic Hollow Edge Santoku Knife.

The handle is built in a pitch black wooden design with three rivets on each handle. Each handle also features light grooves so that it will be easier for the user to be able to properly handle each knife. The build of the handle is also lighter than that of other handles used by Wusthof knives. This makes the knives easier to hold.

What's more impressive is that, all knife sets are covered by a guarantee from Wusthof. Each set is made at Wusthof's factory in Solingen, Germany. Each set is covered for life against any possible defects occurring during production.

Another great thing about these quality knives is that they are put to work in various quality restaurants around the world. The manufacturing work of Wusthof and the support of Le Cordon Bleu have been instrumental in making these knives well-liked by many restaurants.

There are various knife sets offered in this line of quality knives. Each set is gift-packed with an eye toward protecting the knives, and each set is covered by Wusthof's lifetime guarantee in case the knives are damaged during shipping.

There are seven- and nine-piece sets available in blocks in the Le Cordon Bleu line. The seven-piece set features two paring knives of varying sizes, a bread knife, a sandwich knife, a cook's knife, a sharpening steel rod, and a pair of kitchen shears. The nine-piece set includes these plus a Santoku knife and a straight meat fork.

Wusthof Le Cordon Bleu knife sets are among the best sets produced by Wusthof. These quality knives have varying blades and designs that are simple to use. It says a lot that they are recommended by the top culinary school in Paris and are constantly in use by a variety of different restaurants around the world. We also recommend the Wusthof Classic Hollow Edge Santoku Knife as a suitable alternative. - 15485
