Amazing Food Prep Workhorse
I was looking to round out the 10-piece knife block set I received as a gift. The 8" chef's knife fit one of the remaining slots in the set and the cutting needs I had. The larger blade was light enough to be easily wielded and worked great for my larger cutting tasks I frequently have. The blade size and smooth cutting action makes food prep effortless.

8” Classic Chef Knife
I love my new classic 8” chef knife. Since I live in Florida I totally appreciate the coral peach color. It is beautiful. The only thing I am disappointed with is that it does not come with a safety case especially at this price point since I did not purchase on sale. My previous knife some years back came with a case. That is why I gave 4 stars.

Best in the kitchen!
I'm so glad I purchased this knife. It stays sharp, slices, dices, and chops with ease. It feels good and balanced in my hand. I use it every day.

Super buy
These knives are wonderful. Very happy with this purchase. Will look into replacing existing knives with these as the need arises. Have Warther knives but they are wearing out and the paring knife broke without much use.

Great overall knife but if
Great overall knife but if you have felt a classic model knife there is a difference, no weight to it etc. but a great knife nonetheless
