Wusthof Classic Colour Chef's Knife 16cm Tasty Sumac

This latest purchase was a replacement for a 6” Chef’s knife that I have had for about 11 years. This knife is great due to its size and weight. I use this for everyday kitchen prep as well as breaking down whole chickens with ease. They honor their lifetime warranty when materials fail. I’m thankful I bought this knife many years ago and am glad to have a brand new one.

I have a high quality knife set from a competitor brand. I bought the set twenty years ago. After the handle on my utility knife broke, I bought a replacement from the competitor brand. I was immediately disappointed that the quality and craftsmanship was not as good as my existing set. Then, I saw that the knife was made in Spain (not Germany like the rest of my set). I will admit that I looked at the competitor brand offerings first. I noticed another set at a higher price that was made in Germany (not Solingen). Since I'd never been enamored of my existing knife set, specifically the handle, I decided to purchase another utility knife from Wusthof. I had seen the brand in high-end stores for years and admired the quality and craftsmanship. I just never owned one ... MoreI have a high quality knife set from a competitor brand.

It functions way better than my other knife and feels better in the hand too! When I finish my kitchen renovation, I will be buying a full set of Wusthof knives. Thank you for not succumbing to "shareholder value" like the competitor brand.

We are a Wustof family. We have many of their knives. The knives maintain an edge exceptionally well, are not difficult to sharpen, and the balance and hand feel are second to none. We buy them as gifts for others so they too can enjoy the use of an exceptional knife. Yes, we have tried other brands, but they are gone to yard sales as there is simply nothing close to a Wustof.
