From the Manufacturer
Award-winning chef-restaurateur Tom Douglas, renowned cutlery manufacturer Wenger, and Amazon.com introduce a line of superior cutlery that will inspire chefs and build confidence in the kitchen. Manufactured by Wenger for the serious home cook or working chef, this 10-inch butcher knife can handle the largest butchering jobs with ease, and is ideal for cutting whole roasts and big cuts of meat, as well as for fileting fish. Tom Douglas by Pinzon Wenger cutlery is made of polished, high-grade stainless-steel for excellent edge retention, and each blade is honed to a shaving-sharp edge. Brown synthetic handles, molded and sealed directly onto the blades, set a new standard in knife safety and hygiene. Combine this versatile butcher knife with other knives in the Tom Douglas by Pinzon Wenger line, including the boning knife, paring knife, chef’s knife, and sharpening steel. These knives are safe for the dishwasher.

Wenger, founded in 1893, is located in Delemont in the Swiss Jura region. Wenger originally gave the Swiss knife its main functions and current shape--with flat sides--that it is so well-known today. The renowned company also created the first butcher’s knife with a synthetic, ergonomic handle, sealed onto the blade, making it considerably safer and more hygienic. From pocket knives to professional kitchen cutlery, Wenger products are sold on more than 135 markets across the world.

Tom's Tips This is like a big boning knife--but better--for larger meats such as whole turkey or turkey breast. You can slice the skin from meat or fish. I used this knife on Iron Chef America. Never scrape a knife across the cutting board. Scraping dulls your knife quickly. Gather your prep with a board scraper. Tom Douglas by Pinzon Wenger knives are intended for the serious home cook or working chef.

Customer Reviews

Sharp and versatile... like a samurai sword
Nice long, sharp blade. Won't dull with proper care. The handle feels a bit cheap, but if you're buying for functionality vs. form, you won't be disappointed. Good knife for the price.
