Very nice knife. Well balanced knife, although I the handle is quite a bit longer than I would have liked. The handle is actually longer than the handle on my 8" Trident Chef's knife. The length is great for quick tasks where a longer chef's knife is just too cumbersome. The edge keeps quite well.

What makes the Wide Chef's Knife different is the sharp slope from the tip to the bolster -- and that's also what makes it work so well for chopping or mincing veggies.

Hold the tip down on the chopping block with one finger, and quickly rock the handle up and down. Before you know it, your onions, garlic, parsely, whatever, are as finely chopped as you could want them.

Even better, the weight is balanced slightly forward of your grip, so the knife naturally moves right into the job. Less effort, less time, less hassle.

Great knife.

Seriously, this may become the most-used knife in our kitchen.

The short blade is perfect for my fiance -- her hands are much smaller than mine. And the way the wide blade sharply (no pun intended) angles up to the point make this kinfe absolutely perfect for all those mincing jobs.

Oh, and in typical Henckels fasion, the blade is weighted forward of the tang, so it naturally moves into the food as you slice, making your job that much easier.

Pair this with Henckles 7-inch Santuko blade, and you have a great starter set for any kitchen.

Henckels Pro S is the famed brand's best and most attractive line of knives, and I absolutely love them. They are sharp, super sturdy, and go in the dishwasher.

However, I'd probably spring for the larger chef's knife first before buying this one, although this is still very useful for those smaller cutting jobs.

I am a chef and I own 11 Henckels Pro S knives and this knife is one of the most utilized knives in my bag. It is great for all uses. I can walk all over the kitchen and just use this one knife. I used to use as many as four different knives for one task, now all I need is my 6" chefs knife
I love it.

I upgraded to this knife from a chef's knife included in a $25 knife set, and I've been very happy with it. It's very sharp, and nicely balanced / weighted. When I opened it, it was so sharp that it sliced my dish-sponge to ribbons as I was washing it for the first time. Definately a good sign in my book. I don't do a ton of heavy chopping, but for moderate, ordinary kitchen tasks - chopping potatoes, onions, garlic, tomatoes, the accassional carrot, celery, raw or cooked meat - it gets the job done easily. In my opinon, if you don't have a ton of money to spend on a knife, this is a great all purpose tool. I reach for it anytime I need to cut anything. Not the absolute best out there, but for the budding gourmet on a budget, I highly recommend it.
