Wusthof Le Cordon Bleu 8-Inch Cooks Chef Knife: Kitchen & Dining. The blades feature a half-bolster design that is lighter and more agile, and reduces fatigue. Wusthof Le Cordon Bleu Knives Both professional chefs and discriminating home cooks are familiar with the superior performance of Wusthof knives, but Wusthof has surpassed its own high-quality culinary tools with the creation of the Le Cordon Bleu line. This knife collection combines Wusthof's almost 200 years of forging expertise with input from the world-renowned Le Cordon Bleu School of the Culinary Arts in Paris, established in 1895. The result is a knife that looks similar to Wusthofs Classic line but with much-improved features that are aimed to appeal to a high-end, professional customer and home cooking enthusiast alike.

Le Cordon Bleu vs. Classic Series View larger. Le Cordon Bleu vs. Classic Knives Balance This 8-inch cook's knife, for example, is more lightweight than other Wusthof knives, yet it retains the substantial balance and heft Wusthof is known for. Less metal is used to form the high-carbon stainless-steel blade and half bolster (as in some Japanese cutlery), so professionals who perform repetitive cutting tasks should experience less wrist fatigue and greater agility with the knife. In addition to its excellent handling, the half-bolster design also allows for the entire blade, from butt to tip, to be sharpened on a steel, and a rear garnishing point can also be used to carve, tenderize meats, and remove eyes from potatoes or soft spots from fruit. The Le Cordon Bleu cook's knife makes for a very versatile knife--perfect for all those everyday cutting and chopping duties. Wusthof Technology Offers Superior Sharpness The latest cutting performance tests carried out by the FGW (Forschungsgemeinschaft Werkzeuge und Werkstoffe e.V., a German research association for tools and materials based in Remscheid) confirm that Wusthof forged knives offer the best quality when c[5776] Le Cordon Bleu, founded in Paris in 1845, is recognized as the global leader in professional culinary education. Wüsthof Trident, established in Solingen, Germany, is one of the world's premiere manufacturers of precision forged cutlery. The combined expertise of the two has resulted in the design and production of the new Wüsthof, Le Cordon Bleu Collection, high-performance cutting tools created to meet and exceed the most exacting culinary standards of the world's great chefs. Each blade has a specially polished cutting edge that is super-fine and extremely sharp. The half bolster also offers a rear garnishing point, making for a very versatile knife.
