Real OR Fake?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 17, 2022

Style Name: Chef’s KnifeVerified Purchase

Several comments are questioning the knifes they've received. The PICTURE you see will NOT be what you get. They need to update the picture! HOWEVER, I checked into mine and confirmed it was a original Wusthof... just not the one pictured. So you're not getting scammed here. The visual differences are the markings on the blade; no 200 yr... thingy. It will just sayWusthof CLASSIC made in Solingen, Germany with the company symbol and a couple of numbers. The other difference is the symbol on the handle. it will not have a square shape with red symbol in the middle; rather the company symbol (red) will be etched into the handle itself. So there ya go... but buy with confidence. Wusthof knockoffs are rare tbh. Hope this helps!

I don't know if it's the best knife out there but it's pretty good. Feels weighty in the hand and is well balanced. Cut's through butter like butter. Cuts meat and veggies good too. So far I am not disappointed..

the best tool of the trade

Verified Purchase

My mom, browsing my Amazon wishlist one day, saw this listed there. She emailed me immediately to ask why I would ever want a knife that is that expensive. Aren't the knives that she gave me as a housewarming gift good enough? They are dishwasher-safe and have a lifetime warranty, she reminded me.
I had to explain that while the knives she gave me were nice, they don't even compare to my Wustofs. My Wustof knives retain an amazing sharpness (even when I'm a little lazy about sharpening them). Their balance is unparalleled. The handle fits my hand perfectly. The knives that she sent me always feel dull in comparision, and the handle is simply uncomfortable.
I consider a good cook's knife to be essential for anyone who cooks. The question of which cook's knife to buy depends on the person who will be using it. There are two different questions: which model to purchase, and which length to purchase.
There are two main knife manufacturers: Wustof and Henckels. I think that Wustof knives are better made. However, some people prefer the handles on the Henckels. The Henckels handle is extremely uncomfortable for me, so I don't even consider them.
The second question is that of length. If you are taller, you will want a longer knife. Shorter people will want a shorter knife. I stand at 5'7" (170cm), and find that the 8" knife is most comfortable for slicing and chopping. My best friend is about an inch taller than me and also prefers this knife. A friend who is a couple of inches shorter than me prefers the 6" cook's knife.
If you have never purchased high-quality knives before, I would recommend that you go to a traditional store and try them out first. You want to see if the handle is comfortable and if the balance is right for you. Then come back here and order it -- the Amazon price is much better than that found in any kitchen speciality or upscale department store.
Also, if you have never purchased high-quality knives before, I would recommend two other purchases: a knife holder of some sort and a sharpening steel. The former, which doesn't need to be very expensive at all (my best friend has one that cost him less a dollar; it is simply a plastic tray with slits for holding the blades), keeps the blade from getting nicked while it's sitting in your drawer. The latter keeps the blade nice and sharp. You should sharpen your knives every time you use them. This isn't very difficult, nor is it very time-consuming, but it keeps your knives in perfect condition.
I am extremely happy with my purchase. I am slowly growing my knife collection. You will always find one of these knives on my wishlist. Even my mother has come around -- after experiencing these knives herself, she bought one for herself, and sent me the 6" cleaver as a birthday gift!

Amazing quality; very satisfied with purchase

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2016

Style Name: Chef’s KnifeVerified Purchase

This is a great knife. I was originally going to buy an entire set as a gift to my mom, but after much thought - realized that it's better to spend the money on a few quality knives than buying a set where most of the knives are rarely used. After some reading and research, I decided on this 8-inch cook's knife and a 4.5" utility knife. I'm very happy on my decision, and so is my mom. The large knife is used for most meal prep, and the smaller knife is used for more delicate cutting (for fruits, etc.)

This knife cuts beautifully and feels great in your hand. It retains its sharpness and looks good too. In fact, everyone who came to visit during the holidays and spent some time in the kitchen for meal prep, exclaimed (unprompted) how great these knives were. They're unbelievably sharp, cutting through meat, cooked conch, vegetables, fruits, and so much more with great ease.

The splurge on the Wusthof Classic line is well worth it. They have several others, such as the gourmet line, which are cheaper, so be careful when you're looking. The classic line is full tang (blade is forged from a single piece of metal and extends into the entire length of the handle), and are therefore much more durable and feel a lot better in your hand. I'd highly suggest giving lots of thought into getting really great knives, and think about the knives you use most (i.e. if you don't often eat bread, a really expensive bread knife really isn't a must) when making a purchase like this one.

Meals together is a big part of our family, and cooking a meal together as a family when we're all home for the holidays means a lot to all of us. Having a great knife to ease through the long process of preparing a good meal really does make a huge difference. I think this knife will last for a really long time, and am glad to have added it to the collection at home.

So sharp the oranges surrendered!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 22, 2020

Style Name: Chef’s KnifeVerified Purchase

At the age of 14 I had a Butcher’s round in King’s Lynn where I learned some basic butchering skills. Although I never followed that particular trade (I joined the Army at the age of 15) I have never forgotten what was taught and the importance of a good sharp knife. From that day to this, I have always had my own chef’s knife which was particularly sharp. Or so I thought!

My main knife was not, however, full tang and had been dropped (more than once!) resulting in a well-repaired handle. Then, for my 70th birthday I was given a new chef’s knife and I was delighted!

I later learned that in January 2020 the Daily Telegraph ran a feature on the best chef’s knives available. The No 1 item was the “Wüsthof classic cook's knife” and that is the knife I had been given.

Later that day I placed 2 large oranges onto the chopping board and decided to christen my new acquisition. I really was surprised. Believing I knew a little something about sharp knives, I now realised I had been wrong for the best part of 56 years. This knife is so sharp those oranges fell into slices almost without allowing the blade to get damp. Since them I have filleted several fish and tackled a number of meat joints (Yes, that knowledge was still in there somewhere!).

This knife is so sharp, I’ve had to put it away until a suitable blade guard arrives. It really is too sharp to be in a drawer with other sharp knives - so do be warned.

Altogether an excellent item.

An HONEST review after months of use

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 28, 2021

Style Name: Chef’s KnifeVerified Purchase

I bought this knife as a "moving in present" for myself.

As, like you, I had read amazing reviews left for this knife and I was eager to get a decent cooking knife for my kitchen. I'm a knife person, i love pocket knives, survival knives and just blades in general. That being the case I acknowledged the prestige of this knife via the reviews and couldnt wait to get it in my hands!

When I received the knife, it was very shard (easily shaved hairs off the top of my forearm), and it was very comfortable in the hand.

However, i found the edge retention to be pretty obismal for the price point (make sure you have a sharpening stone on hand every other time you want to use the knife.)

And later I even found the blade had started warping so the whole symettery of the blade and the edge allignment was a bit off. This got worse over time and i concluded that perhaps the blade was bending (and remaining bent) each time i sharpened it on the sharpening stone.

I don't know if I was just sold a "lemon" which got through quality control or if some of the reviews left for this knife are less than genuine.

I still use the knife for meal prep and cutting veg but the steel seems to be ridiculously soft for a tool which is intended for daily cullinary use. I wasn't cutting anying particularly tough (the worst being root vegetables).

I bought a friend a £15 kitchen knife from amazon as a gift prior to this, and all i can say is his knife has held up far better than mine!

Broke in half after 4 months

A quite liked this knife until it was inadvertently dropped on the kitchen floor. It broke in half- not what I would expect for £90. I suspect it was fake, as multiple buyers have reported the same issue. Are Amazon actually going to do anything about this?

Was I sold a fake Wushtof

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 4, 2021

Style Name: Chef’s KnifeVerified Purchase

I have owned this knife (it was my dream knife but was expensive so I delayed buying it till I had saved for this) for 8 months. I also ordered a Wushtof sharpener too. First two months were very good but knife has turned blunt and doesn't sharpen anymore. I am more wondering if I was sold a "fake" item. I do not expect such quality from Wushtof original. My 4 year old 20 pound IKEA knife has not yet required even sharpening once. Since my return window is gone - I have no option but to keep it. I have never cut anything hard with this (only vegetables and non bony meat fish and chicken).

Poorly designed, overpriced knife

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 14, 2022

Style Name: Chef’s KnifeVerified Purchase

My ancient carbon steel Sabatier had finally been sharpened one time too many. I had an Amazon gift card from my son, so I thought I'd splurge on a good knife. Wusthof are good knives, right? Well, kind of.

Since I bought this, I've bought a couple of Japanese knives. One less expensive, one about the same price, one significantly more expensive. All three are better knives in many ways. Better edge retention, better steel, better design and aesthetics. But I accept that I bought a German knife with a softer steel, so this review is really a review of the knife I bought, not the knife I should have bought.

There's a stiffening bar at the end of the blade that prevents you from sharpening it all the way to the end. Given that these knives are relatively soft steel, it needs sharpening quite frequently and it's so frustrating having to stop about a centimetre before the heel of the blade because that bar prevents your knife from lying flat on the whetstones.

Since buying this, I've bought a couple of the Mercer classic knives as gifts. Very similar steel. Very similar quality. (I'd say both are identical actually.) Doesn't have that stupid stiffener so you CAN sharpen the whole blade. And the Mercer is less than half the price of the Wusthof. If you want a German style knife, and you want a forged rather than a stamped blade, you can't go wrong with the Mercer.

If you don't care about a forged knife, the cheap stamped Victorinox is a great knife for the money -- and they cost about half as much as the Mercer does.

And if you want a legacy knife you can leave to your kids, look at the Japanese stuff from independent artisans.
