Overview:
Ideal for making sandwiches, and also adept at slicing and carving an array of fruits, vegetables and meats, Wüsthof introduces its new Junior Super Slicer in the company’s best-selling precision-forged, full-tang Classic collection. Modeled after the wide blade design of Wüsthof’s popular 10-inch size Super Slicer, the new Junior Super Slicer features a smaller 5 1/2-inch blade for greater ease of use and versatility.
Available now exclusively at Sur la Table, the Classic Junior Super Slicer is priced at $79.95 suggested retail.
Key Features:
Sporting a wide blade that tapers gently at the end, the new Classic Junior Super Slicer features a razor-sharp serrated edge that cleanly slices through the thickest sandwich or panini without tearing or crushing. Perfectly balanced and designed with an offset handle for knuckle clearance on the cutting board, the smaller 5 1/2-inch blade is the perfect size for effortlessly slicing sandwich bread, cheese, as well as tomatoes and other foods with a hard exterior and delicate interior.
The knife’s medium-size length, superior strength and extraordinarily sharp blade makes it a natural choice for slicing small roasts including beef, pork tenderloin and poultry without shredding.
Classic:
Wüsthof’s best selling collection for generations, Classic full-tang knives are precision-forged from a single piece of an exclusive high-carbon, stain-resistant alloy, which is engineered to enhance edge-retention and to facilitate re-sharpening. The steel used for the Classic line features a hardness that is approximately 58 on the Rockwell hardness scale. Completely buffed and polished by hand, the Classic knife blade is seamlessly attached to highly durable black handles with triple rivets for a totally hygienic and secure fit.
PEtec Edge:
Prior to Wüsthof’s development of its patent-pending Precision Edge Technology (PEtec), each Classic knife received a hand-finished edge, a process that could not entirely rule out the possibility of some variance in the angle of the blade on either side. Today’s Classic knives have razor-sharp blades with absolutely equal angles on both, in result of using guided, state-of-the-art lasers, an exclusive Wüsthof technology. Sharpness has increased by 20 percent, and Classic knives now maintain their edge twice as long.
Additionally, the new edge craftsmanship includes a “sharp and grind” technology designed to gradually lessen the amount of steel running down the spine of each knife, and from the spine to the knife’s cutting edge. This further refinement enhances the blade’s sharpness and edge retention.
