Quality knife
This review is after 8 and a half years of use. I'm not a chef or professional cook so I don't cut stuff in volume. But I know cheap kitchen knives and this aint it. This knife is sharp and keeps an edge. I hone the blade before each use, and I have never needed to put this to a stone.The $56 price tag wasn't cheap, but it was worth it. Life is too short for $15 knives. You can feel the quality. But hey, if you can drop $200 no problem and you like to cook, then I wouldn't hesitate to get a more expensive knife. But if you don't want to spend for than $70, then this knife is good.

Perfect kitchen butcher knife
I bought this knife as a Christmas present for myself. I used to have another brand, but the handle broke. This one is perfect. It fits my hand perfectly, and is as sharp as I need it to be. I'm very pleased with it.

Great knife great price
I am in love with my new knife!!! It’s been a very long time since I have purchased a new knife due to buying quality knife’s. But had a lot of family over for holidays and somehow my most favorite knife apparently got thrown away!!! I do a lot of cooking and baking so in a desperate need of a kitchen knife I ordered this one which had next day delivery. I am so glad I did!!! It’s the perfect knife for my hand size. Not too heavy not too light. It was perfectly sharpened from right out of the box as well!!! And it has a lifetime warranty!!! I will be looking into buying others from this company as needed plus I will be buying one more of this size as well. I have found if you cook/bake a lot you need 2 knifes this size so you do not have to keep cleaning it as you cook (same thing with measuring spoons and cups. 2 sets are a must). Thanks grandma for that wisdom you past down to me!!!! Again love this product

Nice but prone to rust
It’s a pretty good knife. Of course it is sharp, because it is new. I used it once and hand washed it and put it in a drying rack. The next morning there were a few tiny rust spots on it. None of my other high quality knives rust. Maybe I should have moved into the next price category. I will make sure to dry it completely, but that’s kind of a pain when I don’t have to do that with my other knives.

Very Sharp
Where has this thing been all of my life? I have many different types of knives but never a chef’s knife. I didn’t know what I was missing. This makes slicing vegetables so much easier. It sharpens up very well.

Excellent Value 8" Chef's Knife
I just bought this knife as an extra for my busy home kitchen, and so far, I'm very happy with it. It compares very well with my 30+ year-old Wusthof 8" chef's knife (which I still love better ;-), but you know...). It's a great value, and I look forward to my family using it a lot!

I like a good knife
I bought the J.A Henckels INTL Classic 8-inch knife as well as the Victorinox Fibrox 8-inch Chef knife in order to compare the two. I read a lot before making this decision and found that most people in my price range were comparing these two knives.My cooking consists of cutting lots of vegetables and meats. For that, I like a good knife.Instead of doing a list of pros and cons, I will just write what I would say to someone who is thinking of the Henckel vs the Victorinox.If you like a heavy weighted knife and an ergonomic feel, I would go with the Henckel. This knife is more comfortable to use over an extended period of time. I absolutely love the handle and weight of it. It fits perfectly in my hand (average size) and I feel very safe/comfortable using it. One interesting thing is the blade is sharper towards the end and gets a little more dull towards the grip/handle. I'm not sure if it's designed this way on purpose but I will probably sharpen it with a stone at some point.If you want an extremely sharp blade and you are going for sharpness over anything else, pick the Victorinox. This blade is definitely more sharp than the Henckel. I find it's easier to use on tomatoes and onion. I really do love the Victorinox knife and would love to only use it but the grip/weight/handle is just uncomfortable. The knife is light weight the handle feels cheap, and it's not very ergonomic. It's GREAT for short sessions (quick cut of a tomato) but for long sessions, the Henckel is where it's at.Both knives are fantastic. The biggest difference in them is how comfortable they are to use. The Vict is great for short cooking sessions but for long ones, the Henckel is better. But, as far as the blade, the Vict is definitely sharper and cuts through things easier than the Henckel.But, in the end, for me, I need to be comfortable and that's why I decided to use the Henckel instead. I'm giving the Vict to a friend. I hope this helped.. Whether you get the Henckel or Victoronix, you will be happy.For accuracy, these are the titles of the two knives I am reviewing. And for both, I give 5 star because they are fantastic. It just comes down to preference!J.A.
