Customer Reviews

Solid all-round knife
I bought the Wusthof Classic Hollow Ground 8" Chef's knife, along with a Wusthof 7" santoku from a local store. I was planning to use the heavier chef's knife for chopping and dicing vegetables, and the santoku for more delicate slicing. However the chef's knife is well balanced enough that I can use it for all my tasks, and I rarely need to bring out the santoku. It is heavy enough to cut through onions and carrots with barely any force. And balanced enough for trimming and thinly slicing meats. The chef's knife is a great investment that is saving me a lot of time in the kitchen.

Great blade
Another excellent quality blade by Wusthof. I bought this knife to go along with the other Wusthof knives I own. I expect this knife to last me a lifetime.

Great Knife PLUS Great Supplier
Wusthof's 8 inch hollow ground chef's knife Wüsthof Classic 8-Inch Hollow-Ground Cook's Knife is well made: nice weight and balance. Compares favorably with our 6 and 10 inch knives from other vendors. Amazon's vendor, "Witbecks", was top notch: very solicitous and the knife arrived in good condition and more quickly than expected. A wonderful shopping experience.
