Questions & Answers

Will this blade be able to handle garlic?

Perhaps the garlic I use is particularly sticky (it's organically grown in the United States), but it clings to the blade of this knife, particularly when I mince it.

What type of steel has been used to make it?

Stainless steel is used to make the blade. If that's what you're looking for, the exact chemical composition (if that's what you're looking for? I'm not sure.

Is it possible to sharpen it manually or with an electric sharpener?

This Wüsthof Vegetable knife, as well as my other knives, have been sharpened by Winsteele. My sharpener is a basic hand-held model that I purchased in the sporting goods section of a local "big box" store. It works well, but I'm confident that a professional sharpener would produce a better edge.

What part of this knife has a California Proposition 65 warning?

Do you have any idea what the California Prop 65 Warning is?

Selected User Reviews For Wusthof Gourmet 8" Vegetable Knife

Be cautious when purchasing something online
3/5

Wusthof knife of very poor quality, made of cheap stamped steel. Buyer beware: this isn't a forged blade, and the handle isn't a full tang. In addition, it's very boring. The engraving quality is also poor, and it is difficult to see. br>This company, "Chefs Arsenal," does not follow through on their advertising promises. They’t make it right and will only give 20% discount and not return my full amount of money. This was supposed to be a present for someone. Because it's so cheap and poorly made, I'm too embarrassed to give it as a gift.

This Knife Is Fantastic! Where do I begin? This knife has just the right amount of heft without being too heavy to use
5/5

I can chop onions, celery, leeks, garlic, and other vegetables without them sticking to the knife blade for the first time in my 61-year life! This brings me great joy! It's razor-sharp, simple to operate, and perfectly fits my hand. It comes highly recommended from me! Yes, it is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for! I'm debating whether or not to get the chef's knife set.

I usually work on the cold station, which prepares all of the salads and appetizers
5/5

I prefer to keep my station stocked and have backups on hand at all times. I was attempting to dice tomatoes with the kitchen's communal knife bucket at first. Instead of dicing the tomatoes, I smushed them. br>br>In comes a new knife, which produces a precise cut simply by its weight. It improved my productivity by at least 200%,

It's not bad, but it's not up to Wusthof's high standards
3/5

We sent it back because it lacked the heft of our other Wusthof knives. The upgraded version is $50 more, so it's a bit pricey; however, Wusthof knives are generally excellent, so we'll stick with them. Just be prepared to pay a little more for better quality.

A solidly constructed knife, clearly a hallmark of the Wusthof brand, that is lighter than some of the other Wusthofs I've used - This has been my work knife for the past few weeks, and I don't have too many complaints about it except for the fact that the holes in this knife chafe the middle part of my middle finger (which I use as a sort of guide when chopping/slicing) because of the way I cut (that is, with a "claw" like grip on some foods that are harder to stabilize)
4/5

br>Also, and this is a minor issue that has no bearing on the knife's utility, the red "W" brand on the knife's handle/grip has completely rubbed off after only about 2 months of use. It's now nothing more than a small silver square. The blade is, thankfully, branded, but it's still a pain. It's a tad sour. br>Overall, I'm not "wowed" by this knife, but I also don't see any major flaws. This blade's unique design accomplishes what it sets out to do quite well.

Great knife for vegetables; however, it would be nice if it came with a cover or something to store it in
5/5

I have to always use dull knives because I've never been able to cut raw vegetables with ease until I found this knife, which is lighter weight than other, more expensive knives I have, so I'm hoping it'll last a long time.

My go-to knife when it comes to chopping vegetables and fruits
5/5

This knife is absolutely incredible. It's my favorite knife for preparing fruits and vegetables because it's light but powerful, easy to use, and comfortable in my hand. Peel gets stuck on the other side of the blade with a regular knife, but it just slides off with this one! It was a good investment.

It quickly lost its edge, and I wish I could get it back
3/5

This knife's premise is fantastic, but it lost its sharpness shortly after the return period ended. I expected more from Wusthof, especially for the price, and I was disappointed with this knife. I can put it to a stone, but I expected more from Wusthof, especially for the price!.
