Higly Used, High Quality, Reviews Wusthof Classic 8-Inch Cook's Knife Forged

While I am not a professional chef, by any stretch of the imagination, I do like to have decent tools when I do work and this Wusthof Classic 8-inch cook's knife has lived up to those expectations. It is well balanced, fits my hand well, very solid construction and its quality shines every time I reach for it in the kitchen.

Buy Wusthof Classic 8-Inch Wide Cook's Knife

Before you buy any knife though, feel it in your hand. The weight should be evenly balanced. You hold the knife with your hand wrapped around the handle, with your thumb and forefinger on the blade. This will feel weird at first, but you will have a lot of control. A knife that "feels right" to me, may not for you.

• Heavy 8-inch blade superior for chopping and other cutting tasks
• Forged high-carbon stainless steel blade, hand-honed for razor-like sharpness
• Traditional-style composition handle is triple-riveted for strength and permanence
• Dishwasher safe
• Lifetime guarantee

Be wary of buying a knife set. The next most used knife you will own will be a paring knife. After these two knifes, the quality of the rest is not as important. Each knife should feel comfortable to you though. I would suggest that you learn how to properly care for a nice knife or stick with the disposable $10 set from your favorite store -- either way, find something that works for you and enjoy!

This Wusthof Classic 8-Inch Cook's Knife is a great fit for me and I definitely feel that I have already gotten my money out of this knife. As my others need replacing I will certainly be looking to add knives from this series to my current set.
