Good for small and arthritis hands
5 out of 5 stars
Good for small and arthritis hands
I've only ever had the cheaper knife block sets, so I didn't know what a good knife was supposed to be like. My husband helped me cut up a lot of stuff for dinner once and was appalled at our knives. I didn't want to buy a whole knife block, but instead get one good knife for veggies, fruits etc. Got the 6 inch because I have small hands, and didn't want it to feel heavy. It's a little bigger than my last utility knife, but more in a need to get used to it way. I'm already fairly comfortable with it after a few uses. It cut threw paper carrots like I was cutting into mousse. I can actually chop correctly, in the right direction without putting much effort into it.Also I have arthritis and this has made kitchen prep a lot less painful. I do use with my left and right, and it works just as good for both. I'll be purchasing a few others from this company here soon. Hand washing and drying right away, no rust/spots or anything like that.

If taken care of, this knife can become an heirloom. My parents bought me this knife 30yrs ago. Sharpens easily and still as sharp as ever.
This was a housewarming gift and they love the quality of this knife.

Not too big, not too small.

Most chef's knives are too big. For many things, paring knives are too small. Utility knives usually lack heft.

Then there is this knife, Wüsthof quality at its best. 150mm-ish blade, but a wide, heavy blade that takes an excellent edge that cuts very well, whether veggies or meats. It has a flat spine for moving stuff around on the cutting board. Balance and ergonomics are a delight in the hand. This is far and away my favorite kitchen knife now.

TL;DR - It's a great knife. Sharpen it when you get it, and use it on a wooden cutting board.

Full Review:
I've been using Forever Sharp steak knives as my main cutting knives for many years. I spend so much time in the kitchen, I finally decided to get a good quality chef's knife. I read many articles from professional chefs and kitchen-tool testers, as well as reviews here on Amazon, and finally decided on the Wusthof Classic 6-inch Chef's Knife.

I wasn't impressed with it at first. I thought "this doesn't really cut any better than my steak knives." But that's because it wasn't really pre-sharpened. So I took a blade sharpener to it and then it worked great! For about three slices.. and then it was dull again. Because I was using a glass cutting board. Given that I'd been using serrated steak knives for so long, I didn't realize just how terrible glass cutting boards are for good knives.

So then I did a bunch of research on cutting boards. I'd been avoiding both plastic & wood for the same reason: they can get really gross, whereas glass comes totally clean. But after a lot of reading I learned that if you condition a wooden board properly, it actually has antimicrobial properties. So I got a wooden cutting board (also linked below).

Now that I have sharpened the Wusthof knife and am using a wooden cutting board ... WOW! What a difference over my steak knives! They did as much tearing as they did cutting, but the Wusthof chef's knife slices cleanly and easily though everything I put in front of it. Highly recommended, would buy again!

My knife sharpener is similar to this one: Smith's Jiffy Handheld Sharpener

And this is the cutting board that I bought: John Boos Maple Cutting Board

We left our Wustof knife in an air b and b we rented and lived without it for several months before biting the bullet and replacing the expensive knife.

First I purchased a Kyoku knife to replace it because it was a bit less expensive and I love damascus steel ... it was too light and not as sharp as I expected it to be.

Now that I have purchased a replacement Wustof, I am so glad I did. It is an excellent knife that is great in almost any situation. I have a larger Wustof for carving turkey and large meats but this size is excellent for virtually everything else. Vegetables jump apart at the thought of being sliced by this baby, haha. JK but it is very sharp and perfectly balanced right out of the package.

I love it.

Love this knife. Was given to me as a gift 4 years ago, and its done so much to improve my knife skills and overall kitchen knowledge. It has great balance, perfect size for smaller hands or even normal hands, it works as an extension of them once you get some practice in. I love it so much, I bought it for my mother this past Christmas and it's her new favorite knife. Can do almost everything you need it to in the kitchen (aside from maybe cutting large butternut squash or the like in half, specifically because it's only a 6-inch) and stays crazy sharp. The value is great too, seeing as if you take care of it it will be part of your kitchen for the rest of your life. An occasional honing and maybe a yearly sharpening by a professional and you're good to go. When I'm holding it it really does all the work for me...just let it flow, keep it sharp, and practice your skills! If you're at all nervous about the short size, go up to the 8-inch which is just as good (I have a 6 and a 10) and is just as well balanced. A must buy.

This is an awesome knife. It has real weight to it since it’s one piece of metal and holy heck is it SHARP. The weight helps it cut through foods and the first time I used it to cut through thawed chicken breast it cut through with such ease it made me realize that if it were my finger, it would be gone. Shit!!!!
I have been very careful. I am so happy to have a sharp knife. It slices through tomatoes like they’re skinless. It glides through butter like it’s... just kidding I don’t cut butter with it, but I could!
Onions, zip! Chop!
Just please, people, don’t put it in your dishwasher. Hand wash and dry this beauty.

Cons: it’s a bit heavy so sometimes my hand gets a little tired after dicing a lot of food.

Das Messer ist scharf, stabil und wirkt sehr wertig. Aber gefühlt fehlt ein Zentimeter. Vielleicht spielt hier das Auge mit. Die Proportionen sind irgendwie nicht ganz richtig. Ich kann nur raten, es sich anzusehen und in die Hand zu nehmen. Ich habe schon das Gefühl, Qualität in der Hand zu haben. Da ich es günstig geschossen habe, werde ich es behalten.

Super sharp and well balanced all purpose knife. Get the Wusthof sharpener to go with it as that will keep the correct blade angle. Look after the knife by hand washing only and it will last and last. A superb piece of kitchen equipment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful but very large knife
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 3, 2022
This is a long knife and can feel a little unwieldy because of that. If you need the extra length though it is extremely well balanced and a delight to use. Very useful for cutting large cabbages, big piles of herbs, etc., where a normal-sized knife just isn't quite long enough. This knife oozes quality :0)

5.0 out of 5 stars Buying second time as the first one snapped!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 24, 2022
Very good knife, bought it second time as the first one fell on the kitchen floor and snapped!
Never seen a knife breaking like this before. From other reviews looks like it is a common problem with this.
But overall the knife is great, good quality, comfortable in the hand.

P.s. amazon offered a refund for the previous broken one even though the knife was bought more than a year ago. so perfect service on top of that!
