Germany’s Wüsthof has been crafting some of the world’s best knives since 1814. The contemporary burger knife creation follows tradition in both sale and utility.

Designed to slice through a heaping burger with ease, the knife boasts a unique blade shape that’s perfect for all burger necessities: a serrated section towards the bolster and straight-edged along the center.

You might be asking, “Can’t I just use two separate knives for the same effect?” Sure you can, but not quite. Slicing a massive burger into smaller portions is next to impossible without making a mess or mangling your bun to shreds. Wüsthof’s innovative creation makes burger slicing clean and easy.

The knives are also manufactured with a high-carbon stainless steel, which both looks great and ensures the knifes longevity in the kitchen.

Available in sets of four, the Wusthof Gourmet Burger Knife is priced at $99.95.
