    Long term partnership

    I’ve had this knife for over 20 years and use it several times a week. I hope to always have a Henckels chef knife as part of my core kitchen tools.

    Great knife for money

    Nice knife and good value for money. My only con is the blockish handle is not as comfortable as I would like. Not a major issue but would have picked another style had I been able to handle the knife first.

    Good Everyday Knife

    This is a great every day knife. I have found that it does not get as sharp as my other chef's knife, but I still enjoy using it and would recommend it for its value.

    Excellent knife!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the 8" chefs knife as a Christmas gift from my boss, I LOVE IT! Best knife I have ever owned. I use it almost everyday and it is very comfortable to use and is still just as sharp as it was the day I opened it!

    Dependable knife

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always used Henckel knives ever since I started cooking 15 years ago. They have never failed to impress me with the quality and craftsmanship that comes with such a knife. Over the years my collection has grown but this is the one staple chef knife I keep coming back to for daily use.
