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

- Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2024Color: Stainless SteelSize: 8"Verified PurchaseI 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
- Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2024Color: Stainless SteelSize: 8"Verified PurchaseI 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2024Color: Stainless SteelSize: 8"Verified PurchaseMy 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!!

- Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2024Color: Stainless SteelSize: 8"Verified PurchaseExcellent blade! Super Sharp and cuts effortlessly through meat and vegetables! For the price its worth it also includes a life time warranty. I wish it came with a case or cover but I used a knife cover from one of my cheap supermarket knives that fit perfectly. Ill be putting some of the other knives on my Christmas wish list!!
