Is this knife made in Germany?

ALL of my Wusthuf are made in Germany. I have seen cheaper stuff and I refuse to buy it. So this particular knife is, at least the one I have, is made in Germany.

Can this knife be honed with the Wusthof steel?

Absolutely NOT! You must sharpen serrated knives differently. each of the serrations (gullets) must be sharpened individually. A standard sharpening steel will not reach the serrated areas and may damage both the knife and the sharpening steel if trying to do this. You'll need a special sharpening tool designed especially for this task. Here's one here on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/DMT-FSKF-Diafold-Serrated-Sharpener/dp/B00004WFTZ There are plenty of guides and videos on the net to show you the best method to sharpen. Good luck!

Is this the "Dreizack" 11cm tomatenmesser?

Dreizack is the red emblem embeded in the handle. 11cm is its metric length. Tomatenmesser is any knife used for cutting tomatoes.

Do you need a special sharpener for this knife and if so what is a recommended sharpener. Thank you.

Because the actual blade does not touch the surface this knife will rarely need sharpening. It take a special machine to sharpen so it is best to send it back to Wusthof and let them sharpen it.
