Product description

Fully forged from one piece of fine German steel, the 20cm Wusthof Classic Cook's Knife is considered to be one of the world's best cook's knives as this style and length is possibly the most versatile knife in a chef's collection. Cook's knives are used for all major tasks including carving, slicing, chopping and dicing. Once you own a knife like this, you'll be surprised at the difference a really good knife can make. Wusthof Classics feature thick bolsters with complete finger guards, triple-riveted full-tang handles, and multi-functional blade surfaces designed cleave, crush, and pound as efficiently as they cut. The triple-riveted handles are perfectly balanced and the razor sharp blade is tempered to the optimum 58 Rockwell for durability and double ground at 20 degrees.

So sharp the oranges surrendered!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 May 2020

Verified Purchase

At the age of 14 I had a Butcher’s round in King’s Lynn where I learned some basic butchering skills. Although I never followed that particular trade (I joined the Army at the age of 15) I have never forgotten what was taught and the importance of a good sharp knife. From that day to this, I have always had my own chef’s knife which was particularly sharp. Or so I thought!

My main knife was not, however, full tang and had been dropped (more than once!) resulting in a well-repaired handle. Then, for my 70th birthday I was given a new chef’s knife and I was delighted!

I later learned that in January 2020 the Daily Telegraph ran a feature on the best chef’s knives available. The No 1 item was the “Wüsthof classic cook's knife, 20cm” and that is the knife I had been given.

Later that day I placed 2 large oranges onto the chopping board and decided to christen my new acquisition. I really was surprised. Believing I knew a little something about sharp knives, I now realised I had been wrong for the best part of 56 years. This knife is so sharp those oranges fell into slices almost without allowing the blade to get damp. Since them I have filleted several fish and tackled a number of meat joints (Yes, that knowledge was still in there somewhere!).

This knife is so sharp, I’ve had to put it away until a suitable blade guard arrives. It really is too sharp to be in a drawer with other sharp knives - so do be warned.

Altogether an excellent item.

BUYER BEWARE: A decent knife, but NOT a Wusthof

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 October 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this knife a couple of years ago, and suspected it was a fake after a month or so, when the "W" logo fell off the handle. It was a decent knife so I was not entirely sure, even though it never seemed to hold its edge properly, no matter what I did with it. Now, however, I have got a genuine wusthof direct, and the difference is clear.

The genuine article is heavier, sharper and better balanced (the balance point on the fake is a little further back to the end of the handle. It is also made of a slightly different (presumably better quality) steel, even by eye.

In the picture the real deal is on the left, with an embossed red W on the handle. The other is an excellent fake, and a decent knife, but does not hold its edge. I may have been unlucky, but if you want to be sure, go direct.

Great chefs knife!

Excellent chefs knife.

I use this in a professional kitchen and this is a real work horse of a blade - it takes continual punishment and used on everything from vegetables to meat and never failing to impress!

It came with a good edge which I immediately honed - very impressed. As always I hone my knives before and after every session just to keep the edge in a good condition and it has recovered well.

Please do buy this knife and use a honing steel on it regularly to keep your edge intact and performing well - remember a sharp knife is a safe knife!

Best cooks knife you can buy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2021

Verified Purchase

I bought this knife for my wife, who is a very keen and experienced cook. I did an awful lot of research, looking at many reviews from the US & UK. It seemed to come down to this Wusthof or a Victorinox. I went for this one because of the shape and weight, as my wife hated it primarily for fine slicing.
I am not an expert, but my wife loves it. She can’t believe the difference with her original cooks knife (which came with a £400 block set). It is incredibly sharp & well-balanced. It also looks very well made. I was disappointed that for such an expensive bit of kit, it didn’t come in a presentation box. However, my wife wanted to use it straight away so it was straight into use. You can use the knife for pretty much any job & could be the only knife you ever need. Very pleased.

You call that a knife

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 September 2020

Straight out of the box, it was extremely sharp. Only time will tell if it retains its burr well. Will hone it every use and sharpen every week but hopefully I won't have to do it that frequently.
I had to see whether I had bought a fake as the logo was completely different than that of the illustration but I checked on the official wusthof website and they have titivated their logo font so no drama.
This is an absolutely lovely knife and in my opinion, we'll balanced and a dream to use so I will definitely buy another type of wusthof knife if need be
