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

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!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Inadvertently have tried both versions
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2024
Color: Stainless SteelSize: 8-inchVerified Purchase
I ordered one of these 8" knives a little over a year ago, and it's been a great knife. Came sharp, was comfortable, well balanced, and it held an edge very well. Unfortunately I recently was shifting a few items, and it fell off the counter, tip down onto my tile floors and bent. Long story short I needed a replacement, and I liked it enough to replace it. It gets to me, and it turns out that I was shipped the classic version instead. I immediately felt a difference in the handle and knew something was up. It's also considerably heavier but equally as balanced. It was washed and put right to use, and it's as just sharp as the original one. I can't wait to put it through its paces. Turns out that sometimes things that seem bad end up being great! I would definitely recommend ensuring you get a classic if you spend the money, but I don't think you'll be disappointed in either.

My first nice-ish kitchen knife. For the price, I was expecting at least a sleeve. No sleeve, I had to steal a sleeve for another knife of mine. Also came packaged in that molded cheap plastic packaging that's impossible to cut. Definitely lost some of the luster of ordering a nice knife when it arrived like that. Other than that knife is really sharp and nice. We love it.

These knives are balanced very nicely. They fit into your hands perfectly and are weighted in such a way that the knife does all of the work for you. They also maintain an excellent edge that requires very little maintenance in between uses. I have used mine for over five years and it's still in good enough shape that it can slice a tomato 1/8" thick.
