The 8" Chef's knife is much better than any knife i have had in 50 years of cooking. I had no idea a knife could cut all vegetables so easily.

Coral Perfection
This knife is an absolute stunner out of the box and magnificently sharp. Great for slicing and chopping an extremely broad amount of foods. Blade seems to be standing up well to hard everyday work in a busy kitchen environment. Coming with instructions on how to polish the brass rivets as well is a plus. The handle is solid and has a lovely weight to it, giving more precision on your board. Can't love it enough and already saving up for several complimentary Wusthof knives for career.

Excellent Knife
I really needed to upgrade my knives and so glad I decided to try Wustof! I just wish I purchased everything at the same time to use the initial discount😜. I love that sone of the knives come in colors pink is my fave so far. I went back and got the 9in, parer and bread knives along with a new sharpener, poultry shears and regular scissors. My new go to brand

Amazing knife. Not too heavy but heavy enough to feel secure in hand. Cuts like butter.

Come for the Knives, Stay for the lifetime warranty
Purchased this as a warranty replacement, the knives are of course very high quality, but you won't appreciate how good until you have to replace one. I expected lots of hassle and delay as you have to send the knife to them in MA. So dropped mine in the mail and crossed my fingers. Four days later I had an email, with a link to replace the knife. You really have to believe in your product to offer a lifetime warranty, and not making me wait 3 weeks to get a new one was most appreciated

Wonderful knife
Great knife, beautiful and cuts great. Bought this for my daughter who’s an executive chef. She loves it! Says it cuts thick meant like butter!

The knife is the perfect
The knife is the perfect size. I already have a 12" Chef's Knife but it can be unwieldy for certain things

Too heavy and dull
I bought this knife bc my brother has the same one - I used it at his house the other day and I LOVED it! However, what I got is not the same. It is heavier and feels clunky in my hand and it arrived DULL! I had trouble even cutting a little cucumber. This is my 3rd knife from Wusthof that unfortunately has disappointed me.
