Review: It,s great, but not if you are not a chef. - Look, if you really want a sharp knife but are not a chef, do not go for this. I asked for this as a birthday present and I cut my hand in the first use. It is not suitable for regular household kitchen habits. I would normally wipe the foods that is stuck on the side of the knife with my finger. It is how I slid my finger open. It was a small cut, but it is not suitable for mistakes. It will chop off anything in its path. Now I am scared to go near it. It is a great knife though.
Review: Best of it's class. - Best of it's class. Well balanced, comfortable grip, great construction, high rockwell hardness in the steel means it keeps an edge well also. Wusthof knives are the standard for a reason. Great knife.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It,s great, but not if you are not a chef.
*by C***N on 10 August 2024*

Look, if you really want a sharp knife but are not a chef, do not go for this. I asked for this as a birthday present and I cut my hand in the first use. It is not suitable for regular household kitchen habits. I would normally wipe the foods that is stuck on the side of the knife with my finger. It is how I slid my finger open. It was a small cut, but it is not suitable for mistakes. It will chop off anything in its path. Now I am scared to go near it. It is a great knife though.

Best of it's class. Well balanced, comfortable grip, great construction, high rockwell hardness in the steel means it keeps an edge well also. Wusthof knives are the standard for a reason. Great knife.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sehr gutes Messer für fast alle Aufgaben in der Küche
*by K***. on 24 December 2025*

Nachdem ich dieses Messer nun einige Monate benutze kann ich nur meine Empfehlung aussprechen. Das Messer ist in der Handhabung sehr angenehm und gut austariert. Sprich liegt sehr gut in der Hand. Wenn es richtig scharf ist muss man sehr aufpassen, da das Messer alles schneidet, was sich ihm in den Weg stellt :-) Ich habe das Messer inzwischen sowohl professionell nachschleifen lassen, als auch selber zwischendurch nach geschärft. Ich kann nur Bestnoten vergeben und würde es mir selbst immer wieder kaufen. Das ist auf jeden Fall ein Kauf für sehr viele Jahre der Nutzung. Gibt es in der Küche was schöneres als ein gutes scharfes Messer 🔪
