Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of W?sthof Classic 8-Inch Cook's Knife

Customer Review: The Sweetest Litte Chef's Knife Ever
Summary: 5 Stars

I've been a fan of W?sthof knives since I worked my way up to sous chef while paying my way through school. All the cooks had different knife sets (one of my favorites was a LamsonSharp set, forged locally in Massachusetts) and I got to try many styles of the French and German blade shapes. I couldn't afford good knives at the time, but after lots of testing, I found the German shape (strong curve towards the tip) the most pleasant to use; I prefer rocking slices to pulled slices (i.e., French style). W?sthof epitomizes the German shape.

This little knife is the perfection of the traditional German shape. Incidentally, I've found that I use this size of knife more on a daily basis than I use my 10" chef's knife or my paring knife combined. It is the perfect size for the many small cutting and slicing tasks I perform on a regular basis. It is extremely well-balanced, well-forged, and aesthetically pleasing both tactilely and visually.

As a most unexpected and delightful addition to my knife set, filling a need I didn't realize I had, this knife is highly recommended.

Description of W?sthof Classic 8-Inch Cook's Knife

Precision forged entirely by hand from a single blank of high carbon, no-stain steel, this fine blade is perfectly curved for effortless mincing, dicing, chopping. A wide bolster provides heft, balance and safety in handling. Carries Wusthof guarantee.
The indispensable workhorse of any cutlery collection, a cook's knife performs a wide variety of cutting tasks, from fine chopping to dicing and slicing. The heavy 8-inch blade of this definitive model provides enough heft to allow the knife rather than the cook to do the cutting labor, but is more maneuverable than larger models. The length of the cutting edge makes quick work of all slicing jobs. If you don't yet own a cook's knife, or want the best investment for your dollar, this 8-inch model, which combines size with ease of use, is the one to choose.

Part of the Classic series, this knife represents two centuries of unexcelled W?sthof craftsmanship. Like other cutlery in the series, it's hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength; the hand-polished blade is exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when it's honed or sharpened. Dishwasher-safe and with a traditionally shaped, ergonomically designed handle that is triple-riveted for durability, this knife brings a guaranteed lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to any cook who owns it. --Arthur Boehm
