Wusthof Classic Wide-Blade Chef's Knife

Wusthof Classic Wide-Blade Chef's Knife : Designed for chopping or slicing on a cutting board, the chef's knife has a rigid blade to absorb impact with a slight curve that enhances balance and prevents food from clinging. The heft of a chef's knife is intended to let gravity do most of the work. Have at least two of different lengths to handle the full range of food sizes. And because a firm, comfortable grip is essential, choose sizes that conform to your hand. Both the 8" and 10" knife gives you extra help: its wider blade is great for chopping large quantities of onions, celery, or peppers and for transferring the pieces to cooking pot or salad bowl. About Wusthof Classic: Precision-forged blades of Wusthof's own high-carbon, stain-resistant steel alloy, for a lasting edge that is easy to resharpen. Distinctive bolster prevents your hand from slipping onto the blade. Handle is a virtually indestructible composite, buffed by hand for a smooth finish and triple-riveted to the full tang for optimum strength and balance. Dishwasher safe, but hand-washing is recommended. Made in Solingen, Germany.

a great knife January 4, 2008
biga22582 from Concord, CA

"I am a Pro chef and this is my third most used knife at work and at home. It is easy to clean and has a well balanced shape for less fatigue on the hand and wrist. This knife is a close second to my Classic Santoku and my Gourmet Serrated Slicer as my favorite. It's only draw back is its weight. I have big hands and I'm about 6 foot so it doesn't bother me much, but in smaller hands it can be a little too much. The only thing I would change is that it has a solid edge, it would be my favorite if it had a hollow ground edge which would make slicing things like potatoes much easier. All in all, it is a sturdy knife and can handle just about anything the santoku and serrated can handle but it is a little slower than those two knives. This knife will please you with every cut."

Excellent general purpose chef's knife January 4, 2008
PastryChefTodd

"One of my favorite things about this knife is how well balanced it is. It is a heavy knife, but it is so easy to use that it feels better than a much lighter knife. This is especially noticeable after a few hours of chopping: I am less fatigued than I am with the cheap prep knives I find in most kitchens. (I strongly recommend finding the RIGHT knife for your hands if you are going to be using any knife for an extended period.)"
