Product Description
Cook's knives are indispensable kitchen helpers. They perform a wide variety of cutting chores, from chopping and mincing to slicing and dicing. The 8-inch blade on this knife provides sufficient heft to allow the knife rather than the cook to do most of the cutting labor; its medium blade length makes it ideal for all but the largest chopping jobs. The knife also provides alternating hollows on each side of the blade, which create air pockets that allow slices to fall away cleanly and permit thinner slicing.
Like all knives in Wusthof's Classic series, the knife's blade, tang, and bolster come precision forged from a single piece of precisely tempered, high-carbon, stain-resistant steel. This tempering allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time. Even more, it comes with a unique compound angle not seen in many knives. This angle tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge while it also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength as well as flexibility. Traditional in look, Classic knives are seamlessly constructed with a visible full tang triple-riveted into an ergonomically-shaped synthetic handle. Though the knife is dishwasher-safe, Wusthof recommends hand-washing all fine cutlery. Made in Germany, the knife measures approximately 14 by 3 by 1 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty.

Top Of The Line and Worth It
By Rick Brewer
If you're looking for quality cutlery then look no further than Wusthof. This knife is as good as it gets and well worth the cost. I initially thought the 8" model might be more than I need for everyday use, but after using it for a while now, I have to say that I'm so glad I didn't go smaller. This knife is substantial in all respects. The look and feel of it is superb. There are certainly other choices for a lot less money if you're shopping for cutlery, but I assure you you will not be sorry if you make the proper investment up front with this knife. I second another reviewer here and caution one to be very careful when using, as the blade is indeed sharp and has remained so since I first began working with it. Because of that, it is an absolute joy to use. Just be sure to wash it, dry it, and put it back in its block as soon as you're done with it. This knife is serious cutlery. You'll be in love with it the first time you slice into a tomato and find you can cut it as thin as you desire.

By Shelly Y
I recently purchased this knife for my son's birthday and he loves it! I have a good quality chefs knife in this price range but this knife is far superior. It feels balanced allowing it to cut very easily and smoothly. The hollow edge keeps food from sticking for better slicing and chopping of different food types. I am planning to ask for one for myself for Christmas!

By Joel T. Kinzel
I wish I could have gotten the 6" but, I got this on a lightening deal, so I can't complain too much. This is easily the nicest knife I've ever owned. If you're not sure about spending this much on a knife, and you love to cook, and currently using a department store brand, you won't regret buying this knife.
