Product Description

Imagine having a knife that can do it all. The Wusthof Classic super slicer has many different uses. As a bread knife, the reversed scalloped edge provides a gentle cut that allows you to cut thinner slices. As a pastry knife, you can cut thin layers of cake cleanly. As a roast slicer, the gentle edge will cut without the ripping and tearing of the typical serrated style knife.

Amazon.com Review
The Classic cutlery line bears all the traits that Wüsthof knives are known for: impeccable construction, incredible sharpness, and long-lasting durability. Each Classic knife is precision-forged--blade, bolster, and tang--from a single piece of high-carbon, stain-resistant steel. The blade is tested by lasers and honed by hand, with computer-controlled front-to-back tapering, grinding, and polishing. A visible full tang--the blade’s shaft runs the entire length of the handle--ensures excellent balance and strength. Classic handles are molded from a durable black synthetic called Hostaform-C with traditional triple riveting. The knives promise a lifetime of hard-working companionship in the kitchen.

With the second longest blade in Wüsthof's slicer line-up, the super slicer is the knife to reach for when slicing meats or fresh-baked bread. Instead of using standard pointed serration, the slicer's blade features reverse serration that, while unmistakably sharp, slices less aggressively for minimal tearing. Like the rest of the knives in the Classic collection, this one can go in the dishwasher. Wüsthof recommends washing by hand, however, for maximum blade performance and long life. --Emily Bedard

Customer Reviews

Great For Breads Or Meats
This is a great all-around slicer. We've used it on very soft, moist cakes and breads - both soft and crusty.

But, thanks to a sharp edge and the length, it does a great job on meats. It breezes right through a London Broil and does a beautiful job slicing up an entire beef tenderloin into individual filet mignons. Sharp enough and long enough that you can usually complete a cut in a single stroke, providing a cleaner cut. I even tried it on a turkey last Thanksgiving and it worked great.

One really nice feature of this blade over many other slicers (including some other Wüsthofs) is that it is scalloped on only one side, so you can still take it to a steel between professional sharpenings.

sturdy go-to workhorse for large items
Often enough there's a watermelon or big round loaf of bread or turkey or some other thing that's broad enough that I can't quite get any of my "regular" knives through it in one downward motion. It's awkward when you have to cut things by halves, trying to meet in the middle, etc. Or sometimes I just need the leverage of a long blade for some reason. That's when I turn to my super slicer. It has yet to be bested by anything in my particular kitchen. It cuts great, is sturdy, sharp, menacing even. I love it.
