Wüsthof 4688-2 Consumer Report


Wüsthof 4688-2 Review by B. Thigpen "boogedy blogger" (El Cajon, CA USA)

We call this the "clever-cleaver" at my house. I trust Wusthof products, in general, and this cleaver was an excellent buy. Good price, excellent product.


Wüsthof 4688-2 Review by Minh H. Ho (MN, USA)

Not much to say about it, it is made to do its job. Solid handle with 3 rivets.
Sharp out of the box, and doesn't require re-sharpening with use of a steel. Unless you go and chip it...

Just a few notes to clear up confusion about the Chinese "vegetable" cleaver.
It's not a meat cleaver, don't chop bones with it.
Chinese chefs use it for almost everything, not just vegetables; it's the equivalent of a French chef knife.
About 2/3 to 1/2 the weight of a meat cleaver of the same size. It will fit into the cleaver slot of your knife block, ~3 inches wide.

I find this is a good mid range price since you don't want cheap 10-20$ cleaver that might fly out of your hand; and unless you are a professional chef, $100+ for 1 knife is just ridiculous (unless you plan to use it for the rest of your life).


Wüsthof 4688-2 Review by Harp lady (Morgantown, WV USA)

This is our favorite knife. If you have a cleaver and a paring knife, you don't really need anything else. We bought one for each of our kids when they moved out of our house. It is wonderful for chopping and slicing and the size of the blade makes it easy to transfer minced vegetables from the cutting board to the pan. Our Wusthof knives have lasted for years and I expect the cleavers will still be used daily 25 years from now.

Wüsthof 4688-2:: Description


Designed to chop vegetables and not bones, this extra-wide, eight-inch cleaver from Wüsthof's moderately priced Gourmet line performs with perfection. Made in Solingen, Germany, home of Wüsthof since 1814, Gourmet blades are precision-cut by laser from sheets of high-carbon, stain-resistant steel, resulting in a slightly thinner profile and lighter weight than the company's revered forged steel blades. There is no bolster, but there is a full-tang. As with the more expensive Wüsthof Classic knives, Gourmet handles are made of a triple-riveted, black composite shaped to fit the hand comfortably.

Gourmet series knives make excellent, affordable gifts for any home cooking enthusiast. The eight-inch cleaver is covered by a lifetime warranty and is dishwasher-safe, though Wüsthof recommends washing and drying its cutlery by hand. --Ann Bieri
