Wusthof® Gourmet 8-Inch Chef's Knife

There is nothing better then a sharp knife! My new 8 inch Chef Knife is light, easy to use, and sharp as can be. I have been cutting celery, onions and peppers to put into freezer bags for later use. No problem with this knife. Made Hog Maw and it sliced it like butter. Thanks. Looking to get another knife next week.

I'm a 20+ year chef. I've dropped more good knives than I'd care to admit. So I don't bring my best knives to work. I bought this thinking maybe I'd get wustoff quality a bit cheaper. Wow did I ever. I used this this for three months of heavy professional kitchen work before I ever took a steel to it. Now I just give it 2-4 swipes on the steel every few days and it's on again. I mean I use it for everything. #50 diced potatoes - filleting salmon and dicing tomatoes. It's lighter than the classic so better for the old Carple tunnel too. Really great knife.

We got cuts on the hand holding the food, with the back of the knife blade just touching the knuckle for a guide. We used a cylindrical knife sharpener to take the edge off both of the wide edges of the blade so we can handle it safely. The cutting edge of the blade is also sharp, which is good.

This is the best product ever. Buying cheap knifes all my life and after couple of months, they just don’t perform as well as at the beginning. This one is been perfect since day one and it cuts meet and everything so perfect.

This is a lovely knife for anyone who enjoys cooking. We are vegetarian so I have used it a lot since getting it. Just wanted to caution users- it’s remarkably sharp. Despite my experience with chopping using culinary technique and many chef’s knives over the years, I did have an injury to the finger and nail bed. As a caution- these are powerful knives and they work beautifully but we have to be cautious regarding potential for injuries. That being said I have truly enjoyed preparing meals with this Knife which is above all others but be careful to use culinary technique and tuck the fingers under with knuckles meeting the top edge of knife. I appreciate being able to buy a superior quality knife thru BBB. Thanks!

This knife is one of the best I have ever used. Definitely recommend.

This is my third Wusthof knife and I love all of them. The bread knife, the Santoku and this one, the 8-inch Chef's knife, are all enjoyable to use. I appreciate that they do the job so easily and that they are comfortable to use.

This knife passed my rutabaga test. :-) Slicing a rutabaga is not easy, but this knife did the trick. it took some rocking to get it all the way through, but I was able to do this myself and not have to ask for help from my husband. That's saying a lot! I'm happy that I finally purchased a knife that is sharp enough for anything!
