Amazon.com

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

Good knife, slow and poor customer service...lifetime guarantee if you are willing to wait months,.
An update 12/27/09....The week before Christmas I received a replacement knife. After Henkle examining the knife, it was determined to be a manufacturing issue. Excess pressure on rivet caused a fisure crack allowing moisture to slowly migrate into handle ultimatly causing failure. I am glad to have the knife, however it did cost me $40 bucks to buy a replacement to use while I waited for the determination.Original post.......I purchased this knife in March of 2005. I have taken exceptional care of this knife. It's always been hand washed, professionally shapened and cared for. It's a $50 knife afterall...not cheap.The handle literally fell off of each side of the knife while slicing vegetables. I wasn't injured but could have been. The interior steel had rusted and corroded screws that held the handle together. I thought it was riveted. It wasn't properly done..I contacted J.A. Henckels, via email, sending a copy of Amazon's invoice, detailed photos and copy of product description. First I got an Out-of-Office response directing me to email a different address. Both times, I requested a replacement, or a pre paid label so that I might return the knife.They responded with a computer generated pre-formed email: "Thank you for your recent e-mail inquiry concerning Zwilling J.A. Henckels products. You will be pleased to know that all of our products are fully guaranteed against manufacturer's defects in materials and / or craftsmanship. The warranty does not cover wear from normal use, bends, nicks, dents, chips, or any damage resulting from use other than the intended purpose of the item. Wood products, including wood handled knives, are not covered by the Zwilling JA Henckels warranty, as wood is a natural element and thus cannot be guaranteed. We will evaluate your product and should it be under warranty, we will gladly replace the product at no charge. We cannot guarantee that the same line or size will be available therefore it will be replaced under our discretion, with a comparable item or an upgrade." ....verbatum of the warranty statement on their website.It would be nice to actually work with a real person about this issue instead of a computer generated response. I don't think I was asking too much for contact from a person and a pre-paid label sent to me, as I have to package, go to post office and wait in line, mail, and then wait another 4-6 weeks for them to decide my fate with this knife.If you want this knife, buy local so that you can work with an actual person to resolve your problems otherwise, be prepared to wait should it have a manufacturer defect.

    I am in love with my new knife!!! It’s been a very long time since I have purchased a new knife due to buying quality knife’s. But had a lot of family over for holidays and somehow my most favorite knife apparently got thrown away!!! I do a lot of cooking and baking so in a desperate need of a kitchen knife I ordered this one which had next day delivery. I am so glad I did!!! It’s the perfect knife for my hand size. Not too heavy not too light. It was perfectly sharpened from right out of the box as well!!! And it has a lifetime warranty!!! I will be looking into buying others from this company as needed plus I will be buying one more of this size as well. I have found if you cook/bake a lot you need 2 knifes this size so you do not have to keep cleaning it as you cook (same thing with measuring spoons and cups. 2 sets are a must). Thanks grandma for that wisdom you past down to me!!!! Again love this product

    I bought the J.A Henckels INTL Classic 8-inch knife as well as the Victorinox Fibrox 8-inch Chef knife in order to compare the two. I read a lot before making this decision and found that most people in my price range were comparing these two knives.

    My cooking consists of cutting lots of vegetables and meats. For that, I like a good knife.

    Instead of doing a list of pros and cons, I will just write what I would say to someone who is thinking of the Henckel vs the Victorinox.

    If you like a heavy weighted knife and an ergonomic feel, I would go with the Henckel. This knife is more comfortable to use over an extended period of time. I absolutely love the handle and weight of it. It fits perfectly in my hand (average size) and I feel very safe/comfortable using it. One interesting thing is the blade is sharper towards the end and gets a little more dull towards the grip/handle. I'm not sure if it's designed this way on purpose but I will probably sharpen it with a stone at some point.

    If you want an extremely sharp blade and you are going for sharpness over anything else, pick the Victorinox. This blade is definitely more sharp than the Henckel. I find it's easier to use on tomatoes and onion. I really do love the Victorinox knife and would love to only use it but the grip/weight/handle is just uncomfortable. The knife is light weight the handle feels cheap, and it's not very ergonomic. It's GREAT for short sessions (quick cut of a tomato) but for long sessions, the Henckel is where it's at.

    Both knives are fantastic. The biggest difference in them is how comfortable they are to use. The Vict is great for short cooking sessions but for long ones, the Henckel is better. But, as far as the blade, the Vict is definitely sharper and cuts through things easier than the Henckel.

    But, in the end, for me, I need to be comfortable and that's why I decided to use the Henckel instead. I'm giving the Vict to a friend. I hope this helped.. Whether you get the Henckel or Victoronix, you will be happy.

    For accuracy, these are the titles of the two knives I am reviewing. And for both, I give 5 star because they are fantastic. It just comes down to preference!

    I bought this to use as a practice knife for learning how to sharpen on sharpening stones. But I'm surprised how sharp the knife came. And the balance in the hand is very good as well. I bought this because it was a good price and I knew the metal was a quality blade. But was informed that if I bought this it only comes machine sharpened and not as sharp as it could be if hand sharpened. So just what I needed. But I was surprised that the blade was actually very sharp. I used it to make a meal and it cut through everything wonderfully. So now I can practice sharpening on it and have a great extra knife too. Recommended.

    My husband has been wanting a HENCKELS knife for a decade, he even went so far as to order a set once but ended up with counterfeits. I was very leery about ordering this for the same reason, but did my research and these are the real deal. The difference was obvious as soon as we got it delivered too. This knife is unbelievable! I've never seen craftsmanship quite like this before. WOW! Worth the money and if you can get one while it's on sale DO IT!!! We got a great deal on ours during Prime days around the holiday and I think we saved 40 or 50 % of what these go for. The knife is incredibly well balanced, sharp, and makes food prep so enjoyable! This knife in particular is a perfect size for my husband, he's pretty tall, and this fits in his grip well. It's really a well made, durable, and beautiful knife. I think we'll be ordering this brand in perpetuity. Like I said, if you can get a good deal - don't miss out!!
