Koksmes Wüsthof of Zwilling?
Als zelfbenoemd messennerd zou ik zeggen: ga naar een fysieke winkel en hou ze in je hand. Of een mes goed is, is namelijk gedeeltelijk persoonlijk. Ze zijn allebei qua kwaliteit gewoon goed. In welke regio woon je? Ik ben zelf geen fan van de bolster van de Wüsthof Classic, en ook niet van de hoge

Need a "Heavier" Knife for Everyday Use
Wait which Fibrox weighs that much? The 25 cm should weigh 200 grams give or take... That said, I would recommend the Wüsthof Classic Ikon, but I'm not sure it's within budget where you live. The 20cm is 267 grams (8", 9.4oz) and the 23cm is 288 grams (9", 10.1oz).

10” w/ Contour Handle Recs?
Okay! If German style, I would recommend a Wüsthof Classic Ikon over the regular Classic. I find the handle much more comfortable. Not sure if you can find a 10 incher within budget though. If you're feeling adventurous you can try Japanese. They're thinner but also more delicate. Bernal Cutlery som

Gift for my father's birthday
For Japanese, check out this one: https://www.meesterslijpers.nl/en/kazoku-takahiro-gyuto-21-cm-1 I think it's very reasonably priced, and is made by a tough type of steel. It's also very pretty. If you don't mind a smaller one, this Takamura is hard to beat: https://www.meesterslijpers.nl/en/takamu

Beginner knives for non chefs! Not worried about extreme sharpness just want to buy something and use it forever
Here's the counter to your spin "Wusthof knives are highly recommended for beginners because they are durable, safe, and versatile workhorses. However, they are quite expensive."

Is the MAC chef knives good for culinary student that is going to michelin restaurant, 21.5cm and 13.5cm both for under 110$ or is there better for the price budget
I have the Tojiro Santoku and WÜSTHOF classic ikon. I am careful with the Tojiro because it is a thinner blade. I reach for the wusthof when breaking down chickens for example. They are more robust. MAC could be similar to Tojiro because those are Japanese? Not sure. Maybe get one of each. A workhor

Küchenmesser
Wüsthof Classic/Ikon Classic sind richtig gut, empfehle ich auch. Wetzstahl ist tatsächlich mehr Gerücht als dass er wirklich was bringt. Ein Stahl erzeugt keinen Materialabtrag und die Geschichte von der umgebogenen Schneide, die wieder aufgerichtet werden muss ist eben das, eine Geschicht. Anders
