Wusthof Classic 5.5" Sandwich Knife

So-so

Caveat to this description: I never actually used the knife - it was promptly returned. First, the positives: it’s a neat design by a major brand and is surprisingly substantial in size. It has the Classic POM handle which is a “to each their own” type thing on whether that’s a plus or minus. The durability is terrific with POM, but aesthetically speaking leaves a bit to be desired for me. The QC on the blade with this particular knife wasn’t great. Granted, I’m pretty finicky. Especially when it comes to a $100 limited utility/near novelty knife. If the blade would have been without imperfections I probably would have kept it and been basically happy. Considering the limits of it and questionable QC… it would be a buy at $60 or less for me though. Of course C&M was terrific as always and made the return a breeze, so no harm, no foul. 4/5 stars because even though I returned it, I don’t actually think it’s a bad knife - just a little restricted in its application, overpriced, and needing a closer quality eye on the blade.

Versatile, no-fuss-no-thrills

This knife will do it all, it's great to use for anything really. It is well made and easy to maintain. It's not the knife you will proudly showcase, but it's a workhorse you may end up using day-in day-out.

Sturdy

Have a sandwich knife. This is so much more
