what is different between 4188 and 4183? they look the same.

There is a difference between the 2 product types: Classic vs Gourmet. The Classic knives are made with more steel making the weight heavier.

you always want the forged knife (german made w/wusthof) rather than stamped knife except with a bread knife, where the thinner stamped blade works better. hop this helps-and IMHO, wusthof are some of the very best-professional grade

The Wusthof representative said that 4188 is the GOURMET 7" Santoku which is a stamped knife and 4183 is the CLASSIC 7" Santoku which is a forged knife. Both are made with the same steel, however the blade does not go all the way through the handle on a stamped knife. A forged knife goes through a longer forging process when it is made and therefore has a better balance and little more weight than a stamped knife.

They are exactly the same. I never noticed until you asked, so I went and looked at them. Identical as far as I can see!

Hmmm, look at the pictures and model numbers. I see no difference. Somebody's confused.

It looks identical to the one I have and the description is the same. I don't see anything different. My wife loves hers.

Mine is stamped CST 863, so I do not know what the differences are between the two.

It might be a matter of which seller is selling them. They are both the same.

Honestly I'm not sure. However, they look the same and the specs seem to be the same.

I believe all the specifications are the same. The difference is the color/finish of the metal. So, which ever you prefer!

Looks like different vendors. could mean different ship times, different return policies, etc.

As far as what I see, there is no difference. Just a simple model number change.

I don't know. I read the info on both and no differences were indicated. Made me wonder if it was different suppliers.

the difference is in the sound. The 419 is less acute than 619.Attached some links, so pruning the difference.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lck3QambejQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ygVu16zSdwSafe RidesBikerhiway

Scott, as far as I can tell, they are the same. The correct part is with the "T", perhaps the other is a typo? I have been to the manufacturers web site, and they are not showing one without the "T".

They are exactly the same. The 9332 is sold to the general public, and the 9382 only through dentist professionals. But it's just marketing; they are exactly the same thing.

Hi Dan,There is no difference in the end product. Sometimes you will see a different part number because of how it is packed, how many are packed at one time, packaging styles, etc. In this case you are getting the same product regardless if you purchase 40146 or 40148.

Sorry, I have no idea. I would bet that they are the same and someone is charging more for it.

I think the only difference is in their color: this is black, and the 0813 is white.
