Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: A good chef's knife becomes your daily kitchen companion. It's used for everything from prepping steaks for the grill to finely mincing onions, and chances are you'll reach for it every time you cook--so it better be good. This lower-priced line from Henckels is a great value: excellent quality knives with their standard lifetime warranty. There's good balance, and the handles are a shade heavier than other lines, which some cooks will prefer. The 8-inch blade length is the most practical for multipurpose use, and regular sharpening will keep the stainless-steel blade razor-sharp. It's only minimally flexible, which makes it a great choice for vegetables such as potatoes and turnips. While it's dishwasher-safe, unless it needs sanitizing after use with raw meat, it's often easier to hand wash. --Jill Lightner Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A real workhorse, good for everyday useI purchased this knife from Target about 4 years ago for about the same price. Since then, I have left it in 2 kitchens at corporate restaurants among co-workers who didn't always know how to take care of a knife, to say the least. I can only imagine the abuse this knife saw in that time, and the only damage is the very tip, about 1/16th of an inch, is snapped off, doubtlessly from being dropped point down onto a floor. I still use it on a daily basis, and with use of a diamond steel ... Read More Rating:  - Nice alternative to an Expensive KnifeJ A Henckels has a portfolio of knives but only the top ranges are made in Germany, some come from Spain and others from China and Taiwan. I suspect the International range comes from China. I have this knife - it works well - but when I put it against a WMF Spitzenklasse Chef's Knife I see the difference. The blade is thinner, the bolster smaller, and the weight appreciably less. I like to feel some weight in this knife so I can balance it when chopping, so i tend towards heavier knives. ... Read More Rating: - Almost as good as the expensive German toolsThe bottome line: The edges are almost if not just as good as the more expensive knives but the finish is lacking (although only somewhat). Relatively great value. For the chefs knives, these are wonderful tools that I believe come very close in quality and effectiveness to knives costing more than twice as much. They can be made very sharp and will keep an edge a long time. Moreover, given comparable sharpness they are just as effective and pleasureable to use as my more expensive Wusthof. ... Read More Rating: - Good knifeIt's been month since I bought it. I have used it to cut meat and vegetables. So far it haven't lost its sharpness. Rating: - Great knife for a budgetThis knife is not as good as the higher quality henckels knives, but it is still very good for the price, and if you are getting your first chef's knife, or are not a rabid cooking fiend, this would be a good choice. |
