Great knife

Exceptional quality as always. Well balanced, very sharp - an excellent knife and I highly recommend Wusthof knives to anyone wanting a great chef (or other) knife. I also recommend all other Wusthof Classic Series cutlery as an outstanding value of exceptionally good quality. Wusthof has always been known as a maker of excellent knives and this 8" chef knife is no exception. I am very pleased with my purchase.

This was a gift to

This was a gift to my husband and he loves it! Loves the weight the great grip of the handle and the triple rivets through the metal. This is a knife to last a long time!

A Must Have

My current knife is a 34yrs old Wusthof classic but difficult to keep sharp. I thought I am due for a backup. I love the navy blue handle as well.

This is the 4th Wusthof

This is the 4th Wusthof I've purchased to round out my collection. This one definitely has some heft to it, but I wouldn't consider it heavy. More like "substantial" and it feels very balanced in the hand. Like most, I'd gone through the supermarket and big-box store knives only to ultimately be disappointed with their inability to keep a suitable edge. A few seconds on the steel before using has kept all my previous ones nicely sharp, and I don't expect anything less from this one. I prefer the Classic series, and I imagine I'll be passing these on to someone in the family that enjoys cooking (and working with quality tools) as much as I do.

Classic 6” chef and paring knife

I am pleased with my purchase and plan to buy other WÜSTHOF knives in the future. The 6” chef knife fits my hand better than the typical 8”.

It was smaller than I

It was smaller than I expected since I didn’t look closely at the description, so at first I was a bit disappointed, but it has become my second favorite knife in the set.

Great knife! Little on the heavier side but I personally don’t mind!
