## Description

The gourmet serrated spreader is also known as a sandwich knife. The saw like scallops cut easily through the tough skins of tomatoes as well as bread. The oval shape is perfect for spreading mayonaise. Typical stamped knives are punched out like a cookie cutter. Wusthof gourmet knives are laser cut. This intricate manufacturing process is superior to other -inch cookie cutter-inch methods as it is more precise and leaves the knives with less distortion. The gourmet knives use the same steel that is used in our other more expensive knives. Wusthof uses a special blend of German steel through out the whole length of the knife. The ingredients of this steel are proudly etched on each blade. Wusthof not only uses the best materials to make a fine knife, but it is also crucial that each blade is precisely tempered. This tempering allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet can be maintained in your home kitchen with out the need to be sent away for maintenance. Located in the cutlery capital of the world, Solingen Germany, the wusthof factory history goes back as far as 1814 when the company was listed with the duchy of berg. To this day, the company remains family owned. Each step is performed to exacting standards by skilled German workers aided by the most modern, computer guided equipment. It is this balance of German technology and old world hand craftsmanship that is the secret of how each wüsthof knife is created. Known the world-over for it’s unique and uncompromising quality.

Review: I have used the Wusthof Gourmet spreader knife a number of times and am impressed with it's sharpness and the ease at which butter spreads using the knife. I have quite a few Wusthof knives and they are excellent quality. I would recommend hand washing for all good knives.
Review: Great spreader for making sandwiches. Blade is thicker than cheaper ones and runs full length of handle. Order arrived a week early too!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to know about the product dimensions 8x2x1. Is 8” a total length? What is 2” and 1”?**
A: I don't know about any of these dimensions (or those given in other reviews)? Including the handle, he total length is 9"  The blade itself is just shy of the 5" (as is stated in the description). The width of the blade at its widest point is not quite 1.5" and the handle (approx. 4.25" long).  is the equivalent size/shape as other knives in the series.. This knife is actually one of my favorite tools - it makes spreading butter, mustard, peanut butter, mayo, whatever you need really easy and smooth, while enabling you to either spread a very thin layer or more. The serrated edge is adequate for cutting the sandwich, although I usually prefer another knife for that. This version - the "Gourmet" class - is lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than the "Classic" model (I have both), but I actually prefer the Gourmet... I like this tool so much I've bought several to give as gifts to friends...

**Q: What is the difference between this and the $60.00 5-1/2"**
A: I was thinking of buying this spreader knife, so here are my thoughts. 

I think the $60 one is $120 now (the serrated one that looks similar, but has a scalloped edge instead of pointy edge)..  

The description says: “Typical stamped knives are punched out like a cookie cutter. Wusthof gourmet knives are laser cut. “ But in the main description it says: “Precisely laser-cut stamped knives offer superb quality and value.” I suppose it could be both, But this looks like a typo or a screwup.   

More importantly you can see from pictures the more expensive knife is forged..  Whether laser cut or stamped, this knife is still the shape of a stamped knife; because this allows flexibility as a spreader..  

There are many types of stainless steel and I think the term is “spring steel,” that is flexible.  

Flexibility has trade offs; 
①   Flexible means it’s not hard (as the other WÜSTHOF forged knives) so it won’t hold a sharp edge when used as a general kitchen knife, but should work as a spreader..  
②  Flexible I believe means less rust resistant too..  I noticed the review that shows where the knife broke off at the rusted rivet (although I suspect the knife was treated more roughly than a spreader should be treated)..   But I also think the knife tang is just too thin and small at that critical area (and the flexibility of spring steel would tend to bend at that weak link, back-and-forth which might eventually stress the metal)..  

As far as rust goes, I’ve got a spring steel spatula that I frequently soak overnight, and no rust (could be water.. could be different steel..  could be acidity of the food).

**Q: What is the difference between this and the $60.00 version?**
A: The big difference is the model.  This one doesn't have the full tang that tapers from the handle to the blade.  The blade is a stamped one running all the way through the handle but not as thick at that point. I have both and for what I have used it for, I think I prefer the Gourmet version as it has a little more flex in the blade for spreading than the higher priced one.  It was a little transition for me from the butter knives we traditionally use but I have come to really like it as a universal sandwich knife that can slice, spread, and do all.  I have even used it to turn an egg when making an egg sandwich since it is a little wider.  Needless to say, I really like it and have thought about getting another one or two to add to the collection.

**Q: Is the blade flexible at all? Or pretty stiff?**
A: The blade is flexible. It is not stiff like a chef's knife.

*by J***K on 29 November 2025*

Great quality knife. I recently accidentally threw my 30+ year old Cutco in the trash. I went to their site and found them to be $94. I really didn't want to spend that much on it as I mainly use it for cake cutting and serving. Bought this one and it is super sharp and sturdy. I had read other reviews about it being flimsy but mine is not so not sure where those came from unless the expectation is that it would be more like a steak or butcher knife. Highly recommended.
