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

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The knife comes out of the package extremely sharp. I knew that I would eventually need to re-sharpen the blade, so I bought a sharpener with a fine and coarse setting. I used this knife daily on about everything you could imagine, and it held its edge extremely well. It wasn't until about after a month of constant use that I noticed the edge to dull a little bit. It was at that point that I used my I.Q. kitchen blade sharpener on it. The blade turned out to be as sharp as new. Overall, the blade is extremely well made and holds its edge very well. I would suggest the purchase of a quality blade sharpener so that you can keep your knife in brand new condition.
The handle of the knife is also very well made. It is very well balanced and fits in my hand perfectly. It feels as though the blade is just an extension of your hand, that is how well constructed it is. My girlfriend with much smaller hands than mine also finds that it is extremely comfortable for her to use. I think that the material used on the handle is also very comfortable to hold. It his great grip and is also very easy to clean.
I never put my knife in the dishwasher and that helps maintain sharpness. I clean it with a sponge and dish soap and it cleans very well. It is also rust resistant, so I am able to let it air dry.
This is the perfect knife for someone looking for a quality chef’s knife at a reasonable price. I am extremely happy with my purchase and I will be purchasing a full set in the future.
Likes:
- Razor sharp(hope it will be so for long time)
- Blade and handle are made of single piece of steel.
Dislikes:
- Both edges of the spine are not rounded, may cut your finger!
Suggestion to users:
- If you use silverware organizer, be careful around this knife, even slightest touch will cut your finger(happened to me:) )
- 8” size(unless you deliberately buying) might feel little bigger/heavier.
I will update this after long term usage. Stay sharp folks!:)

Bought this knife as a gift for my bf and I think it's awesome. It's super sharp, can be used for all kinds of things. I looked up a lot of reviews and articles etc. before going with this knife and I am really really happy with it. My bf loves it. He uses it for everything.
There's still some resistance when cutting a butternut squash or something like that but it has made preparing food SO MUCH EASIER and SO MUCH SAFER. Plus, I can cut tomatoes without squishing them!
