  Good knife. Sharp not to heavy. Looks clean and well made.

  Super sharp but for $135 you'd think you'd get a little better handle I might as well be a what's that knife a fabric or whatever it is the handle blows. Bring back some old school Mr 200 years old got rid of their good knives 30 years ago why enough with the rivets go back to real handles

  Love the dynamics of this knife. My son has already tried to confiscate it for his own kitchen

  This is my absolute favorite knife in the kitchen. I use it for just about everything. It's got great balance and the curve of the blade makes it super easy for chopping, mincing, or slicing. You do need to pay attention to maintaining an edge, so if that's a problem for you, this may not be the right knife for your kitchen. If you don't mind keeping up with the sharpness of the blade, it will reward you with lots of kitchen prep work.

  I bought this knife and the blade was very dull. Wouldn’t cut thru anything. I had not used it right away and it was after the 30 day return but the item was defective. They had me send knife to their sharpener at my expense and it still came back some better but still dull. They would not replace it. They were a third party for Amazon so I will watch for that in the future.

  Wusthof makes many knives to allow for personal choice and preference, and this is just that kind of knife. It’s essentially a hybrid style knife that handles like a chef’s knife with a santoku style blade and particularly the narrow 10 degree/side sharpened edge. The benefits of this narrow edge are known and so are the downsides. It is very sharp and slices easily through tender food. It also won’t hold a sharp edge as long as a 14 or 16 degree edge. It’s a trade off.Wusthof makes knves from a steel that is strong and durable, takes a good edge, and is not brittle. Wusthof knives last. We’ve had some of our Classic knives for 30+ years and they all perform as new.There is a catch. You must maintain the edge with EVERY use. That means 5-6 times per side with the honing steel. Even with this edge maintenance, the knives will dull. It doesn’t take long to lose the edge.To Zee from CA, you give this knife a lousy rating, except that the knife that you show in your useless video, is not this prep knife, but a Wusthof Classic 6 inch chef’s knife with a 14 degree edge.And yes, your dull knife can’t cut a tomato. My guess is that you don’t maintain the edge of your knife properly and yes, it must now be sharpened properly. Your knife is a great knife. It’s your expectations that are off..So first, throw out that bamboo cutting board. It will destroy the edge on any knife. Get your knife sharpened. And my recommendation is to but a DMT diamond sharpening steel, fine grit, with the red color code. Use it every few days. Use the honing steel all of the other days.The very nice kitchen store local to you with two words, first one beginning with W and second word beginning with S will sharpen the knife for you without charge. Just make sure that they use the Wusthof electric belt sharpener made by Work Sharp especially for 14 degree Wusthof knives.As for this prep knife, if it suits your needs, then you will definitely like it. Chances are that it won’t be your first or even second Wusthof knife.

  The media could not be loaded. This knife dulled very fast, with the price I paid for this knife not worth buying it. one question for Amazon “Any factory warranty on this knife and how to return it back “I do Not recommend this knife to anyone, watch video.
