Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Wusthof 4109-7 Classic 5-Inch Tomato Knife

Customer Review: Most people have wished for this knife
Summary: 5 Stars

You don't have to be a gourmet cook or have your own TV show to find good use for this knife. Anyone who has ever needed to make neat slices of ripe tomato in a hurry and ended up wishing that he or she had sharpened all the knives _yesterday_ is a person who will appreciate the ease with which this knife does the job. Anybody who has ever resorted to slicing tomatoes and/or fingers with a bread knife is going to love this knife.

It's use is not limited to tomatoes; I use my knives for whatever I please, and I use this one for slicing all sorts of foods that are too soft for easy even cutting. Ripe peaches, soft cheeses--that sort of thing; it's not big enough and it's too sharp to be really safe as a bread knife.

If you are peeling the tomatoes, though, you may want a straight-edged paring knife of some sort; this serrated blade doesn't do the neatest job on that part unless you make a work of art out of it. It doesn't bother me, because I never peel tomatoes unless I'm cooking them.

I know it's heresy and not classy at all, but I put it in the dishwasher. I lay it by itself on the top rack, so that nothing will knock against it; I wash all my good knives that way, and some of them are over twenty years old and still look good and hold an edge, so why not? Life's too short to spend it hand washing things that are clearly said to be dishwasher safe.

Description of Wusthof 4109-7 Classic 5-Inch Tomato Knife

This handy knife makes short work of peeling small lemons and limes, zipping through Kaiser rolls and baguettes, and slicing German sausagein addition to doing a superb job of slicing tomatoes. In other words, this is the perfect knife for sweeping through double-textured foods with hard exteriors and delicate interiors. Made of nearly-rigid, scallop-edged, no-stain steel, the 5-in. blade has a nice, two-pronged tip for spearing and transferring new slices from board to plate; its full tang contributes balance and leverage. Wusthof's newest state of the art technology incorporates a new computer controlled method for putting the edge on Classic knives. This technology allows for an exacting edge from the tip of the knife down to the heel of the knife. With this newer precision, the knives are made sharper to 14 degrees per side for a total of 28 degrees. The knives are now sharper and this refinement increases the sharpness retention because exacting angles and edges last longer than edges sharpened by hand. The result is a knife that is 30% sharper and the ICP (Initial Cutting Performance) lasts twice as long..
