Selected User Reviews For Wusthof Classic Cook's Knife, 8-Inch, Black
If you only have one knife, make it this one. I've been cooking professionally for more than a decade, and I still use the 8" Wusthof chef's knife I bought 11 years ago for culinary school. The kitchen staff chipped in to get this for one of our coworkers as a gift. It has perfect weight and balance, holds an edge exceptionally well, and is simple to sharpen. The most versatile knife you can have is an 8" chef's knife with a full bolster; my 11-year-old knife has been sharpened halfway through the grantons and is still carrying its load like a boss. While I didn't use this one because it was a gift, I believe the new handle material will be a significant improvement over the old bakelite handle on mine, which has a few cracks at this point (though I've heard Wusthof will repair it). Don't make the mistake of purchasing a Global. Don't spend your money on a Henckel. Purchasing a Shun is not a good idea. Don't spend your money on a Victorinox. Buy this. Not that the other manufacturers' knives aren't good, but this is the one that will be used the most. THIS IS THE ONE, according to a professional who uses this knife for hours on end every day and has tried dozens of different brands and styles.
What a disappointment when I opened the box of my Wüsthof Classic 6" cooks knife. A bent, jagged tip was immediately noticed. For a knife half the price, this isn't the expected level of quality.
Unfortunately, 5 stars is a gross underestimation of the quality and value of this product!.
My preferences were better served by the balance and lighter weight. br>br>This knife will take the place of an old $15 hampton and victorinox knife. I also sharpened it using the 30 degree angles on my spyderco sharpmaker, which worked perfectly; I sharpen/hone my knives after every few cooking sessions to keep them in good shape. This was also purchased directly from Amazon. br>br> Another link for an 8-inch Wusthof caught my eye, but people were complaining about its legitimacy or the fact that it didn't come in a box. br>br>This one came in a retail box straight from Amazon, similar to what you'd find in a store. I'm not sure why there are two listings, or why one is bubblewrapped and the other is not. br>br>Of course, the knife does what it should. It's effective, and I'm pleased with my purchase.
Your guests may have never seen a knife of this size before (it isn't ridiculously large, but it is substantial). That is to say, where it shines in appearance, it also shines in performance- This blade's heft gives you a lot more room to cut things quickly, and the bolster makes it less intimidating to use. There are probably more fashionable options available, but this line or knife is far from being solely functional. br>br>I haven't tried it on squash, melons, or large cuts of meat yet, but other reviewers say this is where a knife of this size can be useful. Unless you're trying to get by with just one chef's knife (which isn't unreasonable), I believe a 10 inch blade will give you more bang for your buck than an 8 inch blade, because smaller knives can handle the more delicate tasks. This is the blade for you if you want your chef's knife to stand out when slicing and dicing and don't mind the flair that a large blade brings.
Who could ask for more than the large chef, this one, and a pairing knife? Why clog up your drawers with inferior products when you can have the best?.
self! What else is there to say about Wustoff? I have the 8" chef's knife, but I bought this because it felt easier to handle. It's well balanced, sharp, sharpens well, and cuts through meat and vegetables like a champ while maintaining an edge for a long time. It’s’s’s’s’s’s’s’s’s go to for 95% of what I For larder cuts of meat, I use the bigger 8"knife. br>br>With German steel, you can't go wrong. If this knife fits your budget, don't buy anything else, and don't wash it, as you should with all good knives. It makes the blade (or any blade) dull.
