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.
