These days it's hard to know whether you are buying quality or a real piece of junk, kitchen knives in particular these days have latched onto the damascus steel look, but very few are the real deal, the patterns being just a surface decoration rather than a genuine atrifact of forged steel. This knife though, is the biz, it feels solid in the hand, has an edge like a honed razor out of the box and is a real pleasure to use in the kitchen. Sometimes you do have to shell out for quality, in this instance you really do get what you paid for.

I love this knife. I also own a Zwilling Pro 8" chef's knife, and I love it. This knife is almost identical but with some very minor differences in the handle, bolster and heel. Although the variations were small, it did make a difference, so much that this just feels better and more balanced in my hand than the Zwilling.Downside, and it's a really small thing; the packaging was pretty weak considering this knife was well over £100. It's not adequate packaging/protection if it was rough handled during shipping.Other than the small niggle above, this is one of the best Chef's knives you can buy at this price range.

After watching the review of this chef’s knife coming out best on a Sorted Food review I decided to buy this. I couldn’t be happier. It’s sharp straight out of the box. Great weight. High quality. Great for multiple jobs.

Worth the money

Maybe a little expensive but you know you have a quality knife for the rest of your life. Well balanced and looks good.

Expensive, but worth the money - super sharp, massive knife.

Just brilliant. Love it

El mejor cuchillo sin dudas.

Best of it's class. Well balanced, comfortable grip, great construction, high rockwell hardness in the steel means it keeps an edge well also. Wusthof knives are the standard for a reason. Great knife.

Excellent knife - a lifetime time investment. We now have two of these

Un vrai Couteau de professionnels, il coupe comme un rasoir

Half price because it has a brown handle?I can live with that. Lovely knife
