WüsthofGourmet 5" Spreader Knife,Black

Nice quality. Great for sandwichmaking

The product is as described! For the price, it's good.

Love this. Makes spreading mayonnaise, mustard and other condiments very easy on bread. Feels sturdy and don’t feel cheaply made.

This Wusthof "spreader" combines a serrated bread knife with a spreader head. The knife edge side has serrated pointed teeth like a bread or tomato knife which makes it easier for me when I cut sandwiches, slice bagels, slice crusty rolls, and even slice tomatoes. The knife/spreader is just under 9 ½" long (from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle). The blade is both longer (just under 4 ¾") and the head of the knife is wider (just under 1 ¾" at its widest) than the spreader knife I use. There is just under 3 ¼" of serrations from the lower tip of the front of the knife going back to the handle. And the remaining edge is a straight knife blade that is a little over 1 ¾" long. Because this knife has no pointed tip, it takes just a bit of patience to carefully make that first opening in a bagel or roll before I can really begin slicing. Because this knife has sharp edges, use care if you have young kids helping to make sandwiches.I prefer to put on spread using the non-serrated side of the knife but I'll have to keep the serrated side of the knife in mind when I put icing on things like cupcakes to put on fancy swirls.This Wusthof's Gourmet knife has what I'll call a full half tang. Huh? I can see a full tang on top of the handle while the bottom of the handle has no exposed tang. I'm guessing this gives the knife strength and me control when cutting. I like the fit between the tang and the handle: there is no gap just like any better quality knife.The instruction on the back of the blister package says they recommend hand washing the knife. Heck, it even recommends storing this knife in a knife block or basically treating the knife like it's a cutlery knife. So I wash this knife by hand and I use a knife guard to store this knife in my knife drawer.PROS:Combines a tomato/bread knife with a spreader so you can use one knife for making sandwiches or preparing your morning bagels.A larger head means less scooping from a jar and fewer strokes to put on spread.The longer blade means you can reach the bottom of most jars.CONSThe wider head may make it difficult to get into some jar necks when compared with other spreaders.

I needed a longer spreader… one that would reach the bottom of my pint mason jars. I make homemade jams and nut butters but the typical spreaders are at least an inch or two too short to reach the bottom of the pint jars. This Wusthof is perfect. It’s at least 2-inches longer than the typical spreader. Sure it’s pricey, but so worth it, and no more frustration

Both this sandwich knife to spread condiments on sandwiches and then perhaps cut the bread in half. Works perfectly for both but boy are the teeth on it SHARP! The serrated part on one side feels like it could cut rocks.. be careful with it and you will be happy with the knife.

The serrated blade was bit edgy at first but after some use it became settled? Maybe should have been lightly deburred at the factory. I have several Wusthof knives, and they are really good.

We have a Spatula Spreader knife - by Cutco. I enjoy it and I wanted another one. Cutco sells ‘em for about $87 each. Other knife makers have similar knives at similar prices.This Wüstoff appeared very similar - $25!I had to try it out - glad I did! This is a full tang, 5” spatula-spreader blade, serrated on one edge, and flexible for cutting, scooping, spreading and doing all sandwich making chores. I tried it out on a bagel within 1-Hr of receiving it. No Complaints whatsoever! I may buy another and still spend less than another At full price!The only drawback, for me only, is the handle is a little small in my hand. My big hands like more control. But normal-hands folks will never notice is my guess. And I’m still delighted with it!
