  • Very nice!
Size: 8" Color: Black
This Chef’s knife has a nice weight to it and i like the feel of the handle. It’s very sharp and we use it for just about everything. A great price and a great knife!

  • It's a Wusthof ...what's not to like?
Size: 8" Color: Black
Wusthof hits it out of the park on this one. We have two. I love the weight of them. The blade is thick, easy to sharpen, and holds its edge. There's just too many good things to say about the knife.

  • Super sharp, great grip
Size: 8" Color: Black
I got this for my husband to help me chop vegetables. I use a Japanese Mac. The Wusthoff is heavier and he likes the feel in his hand better. He complained that it's too sharp so now I need to teach him how a sharper knife is a safer knife. It's really improved our cooking together.

  • Beautiful knife!
Size: 8" Color: Black
This knife is well balanced & super sharp! It glides right thru whatever you are cutting with little effort. It's a little pricey, but it should last decades. 👍

  • Perfect all-around Chef's knife
Size: 8" Color: Black
I own several Wusthof knives, many of them ten years or older. Based on my experience, I am fiercely loyal to the brand. I have the 6" chef, 8" santoku, 3.5" paring knife, tomato knife, carving knife and pastry knife. The 6" chef's knife is a great all-purpose knife for a smaller handed person, however I was running into trouble with cutting larger items such as butternut squash. So I got the 8" chef's knife as a gift to myself. Pictured in the middle between the 8" santoku and the 6" chef's knife, this is much bigger than I expected! It's quite a bit larger than the santoku and thicker than the 6" chef's - they appear to be designed differently. But I love it. It can handle whatever I throw at it, to the point I use this every day and find less and less that I need the other knives. I've even used it for jobs I would normally reserve for the paring knife, such as cutting the flesh from bell peppers. It works just as well for butternut squash as mincing garlic. It is large, so I am having to learn how to maneuver it better without poking myself. I haven't mastered it yet. But I am really glad I spent the money. Like other Wusthof products, it fits comfortably in the hand, is highly durable and retains its edge for a long time. I expect to have it for life. Wusthof knives are one of life's little joys - they just make everything easier. ... show more

  • Best knife I've ever had!
Size: 8" Color: Black
Love this knife! The weighting and handle grip feel awesome. When combined with my new Boos Block with a silicon mat underneath to keep it from sliding + a whet stone + honing rod -- I now have the perfect set up for my home cooking! The difference between this knife and my previous Cuisinart knives is night and day. ... show more

  • Worth the price if you’re looking for a kitchen knife that will last
Size: 8" Color: Black
The best kitchen knife I’ve owned! A little on the expensive side, but the quality is well worth it. Easy to sharpen and cuts through most things with ease.
