Perfect all-around Chef's knife

Perfect all-around Chef's knife
I own several Wusthof knives, many of them ten years or older. Based on my experience, I am fiercely loyal to the brand. I have the 6" chef, 8" santoku, 3.5" paring knife, tomato knife, carving knife and pastry knife. The 6" chef's knife is a great all-purpose knife for a smaller handed person, however I was running into trouble with cutting larger items such as butternut squash.So I got the 8" chef's knife as a gift to myself. Pictured in the middle between the 8" santoku and the 6" chef's knife, this is much bigger than I expected! It's quite a bit larger than the santoku and thicker than the 6" chef's - they appear to be designed differently. But I love it. It can handle whatever I throw at it, to the point I use this every day and find less and less that I need the other knives. I've even used it for jobs I would normally reserve for the paring knife, such as cutting the flesh from bell peppers. It works just as well for butternut squash as mincing garlic. It is large, so I am having to learn how to maneuver it better without poking myself. I haven't mastered it yet. But I am really glad I spent the money. Like other Wusthof products, it fits comfortably in the hand, is highly durable and retains its edge for a long time. I expect to have it for life. Wusthof knives are one of life's little joys - they just make everything easier.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 26, 2023
I absolutely love my knife and I love the colourful series to the classics. It arrived beautifully packaged and well presented. When taking it out of the box I couldn’t notice how sharp it was and the sharpness has stayed well over a month. My only downside to this knife is with it being a white handle, unfortunately you can see slight markings on the handle which i noticed straight away getting it out of the box. I’m still happy with my purchase though, however I wish I picked a different colour.
