Wüsthof Classic 10 Inch Chef's Knife, Silver

Excellent quality knife

I've been Wüsthof fan for years (even gone to Germany to buy a knife!) but this guy fell onto my worksurface and boom! My emails to Wüsthof offering photos and details got zero response. Rude eh? Pretty sad but which brand will you try next?

The three 6mm handle pins are only cosmetic. They are designed to look robust and chunky, but they are in actual fact, only 2mm aluminium rivets holding the handle scales on. They corrode away after about 6 years. The handle scales fell off my 26.5cm classic. I had to drill out the thin corroded aluminium rivets and replace them with marine grade, (316) stainless steel pins. You shouldn't have to do this on a knife as expensive as a Wusthof. Not impressed, they should be fitting stainless steel pins as standard on a knife like this.

Prima che scoppiasse la moda dei coltelli giapponesi, ogni cuoco di livello aveva questi coltelli. Prenderne nuovamente uno è stato come tornare al primo amore. Intramontabile

My wife loves this knife. Very sharp, keeps it edge. Doesn’t get lost in what you are cutting even if it is a complete bunch of celery. The blade height, rather than being an awkward point is just an extra help.

I have about ten knives in my kitchen, of different brands. The workmanship of Wüsthof Classic wide is superb. When held in hand, the terrific balance of the knife is immediately told. This will be my workhorse in the kitchen and surely the most beloved one.

Il massimo del coltello da chef

One of the best Knives in the world. Such a great knife. Highly recommended for serious kitchen knives professionals
