Amazon.com Review: The indispensable workhorse of any cutlery collection, a cook's knife performs a wide variety of cutting tasks, from fine chopping to dicing and slicing. The heavy 8-inch blade of this definitive model provides enough heft to allow the knife rather than the cook to do the cutting labor, but is more maneuverable than larger models. The length of the cutting edge makes quick work of all slicing jobs. If you don't yet own a cook's knife, or want the best investment for your dollar, this 8-inch model, which combines size with ease of use, is the one to choose.
Part of the Classic series, this knife represents two centuries of unexcelled Wüsthof craftsmanship. Like other cutlery in the series, it's hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength; the hand-polished blade is exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when it's honed or sharpened. Dishwasher-safe and with a traditionally shaped, ergonomically designed handle that is triple-riveted for durability, this knife brings a guaranteed lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to any cook who owns it. --Arthur Boehm

Rating: - Classic German Steel
Good, sturdy, well-built knives in the Solingen tradition, and this one is a good handy size.
Rating: - Watch out!
Amazon considers all sizes of this knife - from 4.5" to 10" - a single item for reviews. As a result, half the reviews will not apply to the size you are looking at. The reviewers naturally assume their review will only apply to the size they are looking at, which may may well be different from what you're looking at now.
I have owned three sizes of this chef's knife, one with the 8" blade, one with the 5" blade, and one with a 5.6" (14 cm) blade. If you are looking for your first ... Read More
Rating: - The Sweetest Litte Chef's Knife Ever
I've been a fan of Wüsthof knives since I worked my way up to sous chef while paying my way through school. All the cooks had different knife sets (one of my favorites was a LamsonSharp set, forged locally in Massachusetts) and I got to try many styles of the French and German blade shapes. I couldn't afford good knives at the time, but after lots of testing, I found the German shape (strong curve towards the tip) the most pleasant to use; I prefer rocking slices to pulled slices (i.e., French style). ...

Rating: - Great knife, but dulls quickly.
This is a great knife (weight, balance, etc) but it seems to dull quickly despite the fact that it is rarely used on anything more than fruit and veggies. Don't buy it unless you are willing to invest in a sharpener to go with. The one on the back of our automatic can opener seems to work great. DO NOT use an automatic sharpener with this knife. Three to four strokes on a manual sharpener does a perfect job. An automatic will take too much metal off.
Rating: - Super knife
I bought this knife for my granddaughter who has started an organic cuisine business. She was delighted with it. It was just what she needed in her business.
