I bought this knife for a gift.. Since I also own the Chef Knife, I know how useful it is.. even after many years of service; the Wustoff keeps it's edge and is used more than any of our other Wustoff knives. A great buy for a lifetime knife.

Excellent knives
I bought these as a wedding gift for others based on my personal experience with the same knives over the past 8 years. They are fine knives, with a good grip and balance, and lasting edge.

I have purchased seven different Wusthof knives and absolutely love them. I didn't realize the difference these knives would make in preparing and cooking. I am now purchasing a few knives each Christmas for a daughter and her husband. Her question to her husband was what made the difference in these knives. Answer of course is the steel used and the balance. I love them so much I wanted to share the joy.

Awesome Knife
My grandmother had knives so sharp they could cut you if you looked at them. Ours were always so dull you could hold something in your hand and cut it (toward your hand) with no damage. Then sometime in the '90s, I really splurged on a chef's knife Jacques Pepin was using on a program. It came and it was duller than our knives and it had a burr near the tip. I sent it back.
A couple weeks ago, I couldn't stand our dull knives anymore and decided to try again. Chef's had a Wusthof Classic Chef's Knife on sale, so I decided to try it. All I can say is AWESOME!!! I didn't know a knife could really cut like this one does.
I tried it on a grapefruit and while deciding if I needed to use a special angle, the knife slid through the skin and fruit. Then I sliced 4 tomatoes . . . I couldn't stop myself!! The knife slid through them effortlessly and I stood amazed looking at 1/4" slices that were smooth and perfect.
This knife is on the heavy side, but it is perfectly balanced. An absolute dream to use. I wish I could afford to buy more of their knives, but for now I'm saving so if there's another sale I can get one for my nephew's wife.
P.S. I'm 65 and have been cooking since I was 9.

Best Knives
I've been using my Wusthof Classic (white-handled) knives for about 30 years. The only knives that have needed replacing in all these years is are the paring knives. I keep them sharp using an old Chef's Choice electric sharpening system. There is no discernible wear on the knives after all these years.
Wusthof knives spoil you for any other knives.

My first Knife
I bought the 6" Wusthof Classic as a gift to myself after a friend let me try out her Wustof, it was love at first slice. I had been looking for a knife that fit my hand well and had a good balance. This is my favorite knife in my tool kit and I am going to replace all of my work and home knives with Wustofs.

The right tool for the right job
I recently purchased the 8" Wusthof Classic Chef's Knife and am quite pleased with it. The size is perfect for my hand and so is the weight. The blade is so sharp that it cuts through the toughest products like butter. I am slowly replacing all knives in my kit with Wusthof knives, they are definitely the best tools for the job and well worth the investment.
