From steak knives to spatulas, every product boasts high quality at an exceptional value. Created in 1895 by Zwilling J.A. Henckels, this value-driven brand guarantees the same durability, design and ease of use for which the global company is known. Equip your kitchen with expertise with Henckels. AMAZON.COM A good chef's knife becomes your daily kitchen companion. It's used for everything from prepping steaks for the grill to finely mincing onions, and chances are you'll reach for it every time you cook--so it better be good. This lower-priced line from Henckels is a great value: excellent quality knives with their standard lifetime warranty. There's good balance, and the handles are a shade heavier than other lines, which some cooks will prefer. The 8-inch blade length is the most practical for multipurpose use, and regular sharpening will keep the stainless-steel blade razor-sharp. It's only minimally flexible, which makes it a great choice for vegetables such as potatoes and turnips. While it's dishwasher-safe, unless it needs sanitizing after use with raw meat, it's often easier to hand wash. --Jill Lightner A good chef's knife becomes your daily kitchen companion.

  • Very Sharp
Color: Stainless Steel Size: 8"
Where has this thing been all of my life? I have many different types of knives but never a chef’s knife. I didn’t know what I was missing. This makes slicing vegetables so much easier. It sharpens up very well.

  • Excellent Value 8" Chef's Knife
Color: Stainless Steel Size: 8"
I just bought this knife as an extra for my busy home kitchen, and so far, I'm very happy with it. It compares very well with my 30+ year-old Wusthof 8" chef's knife (which I still love better ;-), but you know...). It's a great value, and I look forward to my family using it a lot!

  • Nice weight, sharp blade, although not very thin blade
Color: Stainless Steel Size: 8"
Needed a good knife as I prepare a lot of vegetables daily. I like the way and it is sharp. I just feel the blade is a little thicker than I would’ve liked. Overall, a nice knife for the price point.

  • Great knife great price
Color: Stainless Steel Size: 8"
I am in love with my new knife!!! It’s been a very long time since I have purchased a new knife due to buying quality knife’s. But had a lot of family over for holidays and somehow my most favorite knife apparently got thrown away!!! I do a lot of cooking and baking so in a desperate need of a kitchen knife I ordered this one which had next day delivery. I am so glad I did!!! It’s the perfect knife for my hand size. Not too heavy not too light. It was perfectly sharpened from right out of the box as well!!! And it has a lifetime warranty!!! I will be looking into buying others from this company as needed plus I will be buying one more of this size as well. I have found if you cook/bake a lot you need 2 knifes this size so you do not have to keep cleaning it as you cook (same thing with measuring spoons and cups. 2 sets are a must). Thanks grandma for that wisdom you past down to me!!!! Again love this product ... show more

  • Great knife for the price
Color: Stainless Steel Size: 8"
While I did some research prior to purchasing I won’t pretend to be an expert in chef’s knives, but I am an expert in making my wife happy, and $70 seems extremely reasonable for her to be loving this knife as much as she does. She has been raving about it with every use and I’ve got that warm fuzzy feeling you get when a gift hits a home run. ... show more
