Für mich das perfekte Küchenmesser. Optimale Größe und liegt gut in der Hand.Das kann man für alles verwenden (auch wenn wir das nicht machen, haben aber schon viele Versuche gemacht, mit Tomaten, Brot, allem möglichen - hat immer perfekt funktioniert)

I bought the Wusthof Classic knife set in the late-1980s and am still using it today. It's as good as new. They didn't make a Santoku knife back then (or at least that I knew of) so I added this knife to my collection in 2012. It very quickly became my most used knife because it's SHARP and so easy to use.Flash forward to 2021 and I was washing the knife and due to my clumsiness it flew out of my hand and hit the tile floor in the kitchen on the handle end. The handle shattered and a chunk broke off.I wrote to Wusthof (online) about whether it might possibly be repaired, and instead they had me mail it to them and after evaluating it, despite the issue being nothing to do with their knife, they simply replaced it by notifying me I had a credit on their site (a credit that covered the knife and the shipping and tax all, except for 86 cents).So after nine years of use, and still my favorite knife, for 86 cents they quickly sent me a new one via the USPS.In 2012 these knives in the Classic range had a red sticker on the handle with the W logo on the sticker. You peeled it off.Now, 2021, the red W logo is part of the handle itself, not a square, but a red circle with a W in it.In all other ways it's exactly the same and still fantastically sharp.I've been using the Classic Wusthof knives since 1987 and they're still going. I can't imagine with quality and service like this ever being unhappy with them.You DO want to keep them out of the dishwasher, but they're so easy to wash with the swipe of a soapy sponge and then simply dry and put back in the block.Highly, highly recommended, with service that FAR exceeded my expectations when I was responsible for damaging one (which is hard to do, believe me).

I have several really good knives, 8 inch Wusthof chefs knife, Shun 7 inch Santoku, Wusthof parring knives, but I love this little guy, very, very sharp. More sharp than the Shun. It is really great for chopping veggies, garlic etc,, I have average sized hands for a 6’3” male. Not huge but a lot bigger than my wife’s and I find this knife nicely sized and well balanced

Da premettere che ne avevo comprato uno per tagliare il pane... ed è e resta fenomenale... poi hanno iniziato a tagliare tutto talmente era soddisfacente... così ho iniziato a comprarne più tipi per le varie necessitudini... senza voler esagerare... sono molto vicini ai super quotati global... belli... belli... belli...

Calidad que solo Wusthof ofrece, cuchillo muy afilado y bonito, muy ajustado a mi mano, todos los detalles bien cuidados. Y lo que me encantó fue el precio, oportunidad inmejorable para hacerme de esta joya.

Sin duda, el mejor cuchillo que ha pasado por mis manos. Es ligero pero muy bien equilibrado e increíblemente cómodo, el acero brilla de una forma preciosa y corta como una daga japonesa. ¿Sabéis eso que hacen los ninjas de cortar algo y que ni siquiera se muevan las dos mitades? Pues lo hice con un limón lanzado al aire: pensaba que había fallado y no. También corté un folio sujeto en el aire sólo con una mano. Increíble. Tengo un Arcos de la gama Tokyo que está muy bien, pero al lado de este...Quizá estéticamente es un poco alemán y le falta ese diseño arrebatador de los japoneses, pero ni siquiera eso me disgusta.Recomendadísimo.

Ricevuto e provato, ancora poche volte ma un prodotto di qualità lo si percepisce subito, ottima equilibratura con peso ben proporzionato, taglio perfetto e lama super affilata, mi auguro che nel tempo tenga l'affilatura ma credo di si.Attenzione all'uso perchè è veramente un rasoio tenere lontano da inesperti e bambini.

BEST knife I have every owned bar none! For years I always had those really cheap knife sets that you can buy from places like Fingerhut, JC Pennys and Kmart but I finally caved in and decided In wanted a kick-butt chef's knife and opted for Wustoff's 7" over their 8" version. Why? Price. It was something like forty dollars different between the two and really what is 1" of blade?Because this 7" has handled everything I needed it to do and it's a pleasure to hold and cut with. Of course I watched several different chefs on YouTube discuss and demonstrate proper technique and etiquette for using a chef's knife so that I wouldn't cut my fingers off. Trust me, you should too because this blade is sharp - I mean battle sharp. I would take it into battle against an armored knight, it's that sharp. My former chef's knife was a Chicago Cutlery and there is no comparison - Wustoff blows it off the map.I also bought the Wustoff knife sharpener as well and it does a splendid job of keeping the blade sharp. My kids have had a discussion over who wants it when dad passes on it's that good of a knife. So treat yourself to a GOOD chef's knife and try this one. You'll thank yourself for doing so. I promise. :)

I have been using the Wusthof Santoku Knife for several months. It has a good balance and feel. You are able to slice and dice like a Pro. The blade is thin but still ridgid enough to cut and slice straight, allowing very thin slices. It cuts meat very well and is very, very sharp. The edge is ground to a very narrow angle. Looks to be about 7 to 10 degrees. The shallow edge angle is what allows it to be so sharp. Due to the very thin edge of the blade, it should not be used for chooping or heavy duty cutting. The steel used is excellent and holds its edge forever. I touch it up ocassionaly with a ceramic sharpener. It only takes a couple of swipes with the cerramic. I think it is as sharp now as the day I received it. The dropped point is a great design. I use the back of the point to scrape garbage off of the cutting board.
