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

Henckels just updated this listing with a knife that is NOT the one I just purchased or was given thousands of good reviews. The previous knife listed was the 'Classic' series chef knife, the best in their lineup.
The knife they are listing now is the 'Statement' series chef knife. A cheap, Chinese made product that isn't worth half the price.
Figured I'd post this to inform anyone who reads this review.
ORIGINAL:
I purchased this to use at work and not worry too much about what damage I or my co-workers do.
Although, not as refined or premium as a Zwilling knife and not made in Germany, it is a good bang for your buck and works well in professional kitchens. Keep it honed and sharpened when needed and I'm sure it will last many years.
Note: The bolster helps with handling but will make sharpening a challenge if you're using a whetstone.
The steel blade is still good quality, despite being a tad thin.
The factory edge passes the paper test and can trim your arm hair although it could be sharpened a little better on a stone. Didn't feel any burrs.
Weight distribution is pretty balanced.
My biggest gripe is that the handle is a little too large for my liking and could be a bit more ergonomic for the palm.
Also, I don't feel any silicon coating despite being told by Henckels support it has some and I've never been a fan of plastic handles, although it's not some cheap handle that will break if dropped from the usual height.
It is full tang, forged, and triple riveted. Given the Amazon deal right now, it's a fantastic knife for around $50. You can't go wrong with this blade at that price.

Nicely weighted, traditional handle, extremely sharp out of the package. I have a bunch of these and have been very pleased overall.
It seemed sharp at first, but I quickly noticed they left a burr that was difficult to remove. Having fixed that, though, I can tell this knife will last years.
