This knife has changed my life and is my new favourite kitchen item.

Best birthday present to myself ever.

That being said, these knives are exceptionally sharp and if you're not confident about your knife skills, maybe steer clear. My dad has the full set and it's drawn blood from six separate people (I once knocked it off a countertop and it sliced my knee open without me even feeling the cut). I also managed to cut off my nail last night whilst chopping garlic while distracted (I only have myself to blame).

If you have small children or clumsy roommates, be warned.

But otherwise. Best. Knife. Ever. Read more

Once you've used a Wusthof, it's hard to use any other knives... I bought this chef's knife for my husband and have now decided to move our Victorinox knives to our holiday house. I thought they were good until I tried Wusthofs - time to start collecting this range, it's pure perfection!

I used this knife at my friend's home while helping her to prepare dinner. I could not wait to have one of my own. It is the best knife that I have ever used.

While I am no connoisseur regarding culinary tools, or even knives in general for that matter, regardless I found this product to be well balanced, exceptionally sharp and with suitable heft.

My wife also assures me that it is one of the best knives she has ever had the pleasure of using and that it does indeed add to the joy of cooking.

It should also be noted that Yuppiechef organised safe transportation and special packaging for the delivery of the ordered items. A truly refreshing experience. Read more

When we first bought the knife it was really sharp. After cutting meat about 2 times it lost its sharpness. Tried to sharpen it again but it was not the same as when we first got it. The pairing knives are excellent though.

When I got this knife, it was very sharp. I also bought the Wusthof sharpener, which I found out is a good idea since it has the correct angles set for Wusthof knives.

The knife is, unfortunately, not as sharp as it once was. I do sharpen it but it is still not as sharp as it was. I have actually considered seeing someone who is a specialist in knives to have it sharpened there again.

Nonetheless, it is still one of my two sharper knives (the other one having been bought for a fraction of the price of a Wusthof in a supermarket in Dubai). As it is still sharper and more sturdy than the average knife, it is still one of my two go-to knives, the Dubai-bought Santoku knife being the other. Read more

I've been using this knife since receiving it in Feb, nice balance and very sharp.

Unfortunately the knife slipped out of my hand and broke into two pieces didn't think this would happen to a well rated knife brand like Wusthof.

Now the uncertainty is whether or not I buy a replacement or do I switch to another brand.

I recently bought this Chef’s Knife (Half Bolster) to add to my Wusthof collection, and I am so impressed! The quality is great (as always) and the blade is super sharp. Precision cutting is easy and the knife is very comfortable to hold and handle.

I've had mine for 20 years and giving them to family and friends for wedding gifts. It's good to see my friends still proudly using them decades later. I even take my knives with me on holiday. Yes it is expensive. Yes it is worth it
Sharpen them with an oilstone.

I’m very pleased with the Wüsthof Classic 20cm chef’s knife. It feels incredibly well-balanced in hand, with a solid weight that makes chopping, slicing, and dicing smooth and effortless. The blade is razor-sharp out of the box and holds its edge impressively well with regular use. The quality of the craftsmanship is obvious — it’s sturdy, comfortable to grip, and clearly built to last. A fantastic investment for anyone serious about cooking. Read more

My first ever Wüsthof knife and I’m hooked 🔪 versatile, sharp, fits my hand well and is well balanced. I’m sure we’ll be bonding, slicing and dicing until the end of time — as it feels like great quality. The Germans just know hey ☺️

This knife is scary sharp and feels so good in your hands. It is forged from a hardened steel, this makes it possible to sharpen it to insane levels, and keep that sharpness for much longer. The downside is that hard metals break easier... so this is my second one. Will be more careful from now on.
