Elegant satin-finish handles sculpted from 18/10 stainless steel to fit the hand snugly distinguish Culinar knives from Wüsthof's other cutlery lines. Otherwise Culinar knives are exactly like other Wüsthof knives, embodying all the virtues that have earned the German manufacturer world renown. The principal parts of a Wüsthof knife--blade, bolster, and tang--are forged from a single piece of high- carbon stainless steel, and the blade is precisely tapered from bolster to tip and from back to hand-honed edge. Blades and beautifully formed bolsters are not as thick as some knives'. As a result, despite their heft, strength, and durability, Wüsthof knives are pleasingly delicate and marvelously balanced in action. This 2-1/2-inch specialty knife has no bolster because the blade's heel needs to be sharp. The wedge-shaped blade is specifically designed for cracking chunks off a wheel of Parmesan in the traditional Italian style. This knife should be hand washed. --Fred Brack
