## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between 8" cook's knife in gray logo and the older model in red logo? Is the quality and specs the same?**
A: The logo seems to have changed color (red to grey) as part of a 21st century marketing upgrade.  According to the wusthof.com website, "The iconic Trident remains the core visual of our brand, symbolizing the heritage, quality and sharpness of each of our blades. The newly designed logo emphasizes a clear-cut, sharp and to-the-point modern design. At the same time, this contemporary interpretation acknowledges the age-old artisanal tradition of knife making while exemplifying the high-precision craftsmanship embodied in all WÜSTHOF knives. While visual elements such as our logo and the etchings on our blades have changed, the craftsmanship and quality that have made WÜSTHOF the world’s most respected cutlery brand remain our core values."

**Q: Does it come with a sleeve or any protector?**
A: No; my WUSTHOF 1040330120 Classic did not have a sleeve.  It  came in a cardboard and plastic box.

**Q: Where can I order a blade sleeve?**
A: I bought 2 of them off Amazon after the Wusthoff web site told me that they were sold out.  Only took 2 days to be delivered to my home.

**Q: what is the better stainless steel or carbon**
A: According to web site monroeengineering.com:  Stainless steel has a high chromium content which acts as a protective layer against corrosion and rust. Carbon steel is high in carbon that when exposed to moisture can corrode and rust quickly.  Carbon Steel is stronger and more durable then stainless steel.
