Wüsthof Classic extra-wide chef's knife 20 cm, 1040104120

My incredibly particular husband requested an all purpose kitchen knife for Christmas. I took a risk choosing one for him, but he was most delighted with this one. He said it was perfect! Very pleased with service and quality.

It's the definitive chef's knife. If you only have one, this should be it. Good heavy spine, sturdy at the heel, slim at the tip and nicely balanced. The bolster isn't for everyone, I understand but it's a classic design intended for cracking bones & I've never once felt compromised by it when sharpening or in use. Value for money is exactly right, this is a knife for life.

The perfect Chefs knife, wide blade, sharpens easily and holds the edge, Ideal weight and balance the only knife I used for everything everyday during the last 20 years of my profesional kitchen work.
