Gourmet Chef's Knife: 8"

I've got a few Mercer knives and I was getting kind of offended on my own knives' behalf. The one they picked, while totally valid pick as a very high-rated Amazon one, is a bit of a strange shape by chef knife standards, so it's little wonder it was a bit questionable in this comparison.

Short cleavers don't work well on big pieces of meat. Unless you are going to hack your way through which makes for ugly meat. I have a 12-inch Wusthof chef knife I use. It is thicker so it performs better when the cutting gets tough. It still needs to be mostly thawed. A long butcher knife will wor

I like my Wusthof 8 inch chef knife. It has nice weight and feels sturdy. It's classic shape lets me do that pro-chef pinch grip with ease. Good steel holds an edge so you are not having to constantly strop it.

I own both the Wusthof classic 8-inch and 10-inch chef knives. I like the 10-inch knife better. It is more powerful and can do more since it is longer.

I own several wusthof all great. I have clsssics and ikons. I use my 6 inch chef for small tasks. I much prefer my 8" and 10".

My shorter Wusthof knives I sharpen at 15 degrees. The long 12.5 blade I sharpened at 20 degrees as I might use it for chopping an

I have some Wusthof classics that I like. I sharpen them at 15 degrees. My favorite is the 10-inch chef knife. An 8-inch is too short for me. A 9-inch starts getting good. A 12-inch is a little long. I sharpen my 12-inch at 20 degrees because I cut through small bones and it holds an edge better cut
