Most of their knives are created with a European market in mind. For example the Wüsthof Classic 5-Inch Serrated Utility Knife is sold as a “brunch knife” in Europe. They are created to cut things like sausage and bread (baguettes rather than the hefty American loaves) which is something that most Americans wont end up cutting as part of their lunch. All is not lost however, this knife is wonderful for all kinds of things that you probably cut often. Fruit, especially the kinds that are soft or squishy with a hard skin are what this really excels at. You will be able to glide through tomatoes as well as citrus fruit. I would consider a knife like this perfect for cutting into all kinds of things such as meat, pastries, fruits and vegetables. Wustof makes all of their knives by hand in Germany. The blade is created from high-carbon stainless steel and has a measurement of around 5 inches.
For bigger jobs you should consider getting one of Wustof's bread knives. I already talked about how great it is to have a bread knife in my previous post so I won't go off on another tangent. This knife has basically the exact same edge on it as the Utility knife but has a much longer blade making it Ideal for cutting through heftier American bread but it still does just as good at cutting sausage, tomatoes, and citrus fruit. This knife is made with the same materials and to similar specs as the Utility knife but it is shaped differently and has a nine inch blade instead of a five inch blade.
Wustof also has a serrated paring knife which you may find interesting. This blade is also made out of the same materials as the other blades but has a 3 inch blade and is, again, a different shape. It is a short blade that is more rounded-you will be familiar with this if you already own a paring knife. However this blade is serrated rather than smooth. This makes it better for cutting through things like limes and lemons but it is no worse than a smooth blade at any of the other tasks you might be doing with this knife.
