Did I get a fake?
By ASSYRIAN on August 15, 2018
I think we got a fake. Take a look at the photo. This is supposed to be the red sticker? It looks pink to me. Also, the laser engraving on the blade looks different than the rest that I’ve seen. In addition, there were plenty of scuff marks and fingerprints on the handle. Oh, and it didn’t come in a Wusthof sleeve. It came in a clear, generic sleeve with a Zwillings sticker on the back.

I wrote this review because I am about to pass her on to a young family member showing an interest in the culinary arts and started getting all sentimental. lol
If they are still making them anything like they did twenty years ago, buy it.

My favorite. Twenty-two year review.
By The Chef on November 9, 2015
I purchased this knife in 1993 during as my first "real" knife in my first year in culinary school over 20 years ago. This was back when it still read "Wusthof Trident" on the blade and I remember plopping down almost $200 when I could barely afford to put gas in the car to get to work after classes. I have used this knife to cook countless meals and I love it. Feels and performs better than any other IMO. In the 20+ years, especially early on as a college student, I have not been "careful" with it in the least and she still looks and performs great. She has been through many a dishwasher (don't do that!) riden hard and put away wet and that steel has never had a pit or rust spot on it. I will post a couple pics as I was just spending a little time with her on the tri-stone and I was thinking of all the special occasions that knife has been apart of. I used that knife to cook the dinner the night I asked my wife to marry me. The days of family visits after my son was born. Get togethers after losing a loved one. That knife and I have been been through a lot. The finish on her face shows some wear but I can tell you a story about each of the major blemishes. :)By The Chef on November 9, 2015

Knife broke in half
By misuk lee on October 4, 2020
Less than a year old, dropped it on my hardwood floor and broke in half. How is this possible? Does Wusthof have warranty?

BUYER BEWARE: A decent knife, but NOT a Wusthof

BUYER BEWARE: A decent knife, but NOT a Wusthof
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 29, 2020
I bought this knife a couple of years ago, and suspected it was a fake after a month or so, when the "W" logo fell off the handle. It was a decent knife so I was not entirely sure, even though it never seemed to hold its edge properly, no matter what I did with it. Now, however, I have got a genuine wusthof direct, and the difference is clear.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 29, 2020
The genuine article is heavier, sharper and better balanced (the balance point on the fake is a little further back to the end of the handle. It is also made of a slightly different (presumably better quality) steel, even by eye.
In the picture the real deal is on the left, with an embossed red W on the handle. The other is an excellent fake, and a decent knife, but does not hold its edge. I may have been unlucky, but if you want to be sure, go direct.
