Henckels Forged Accent 8-inch Chef's Knife, Black

I'm a bit chagrined to find Henkel's making their product in CHINA! It seems lighter in weight, and I thought it looks noticeably thinner than the Henkel's that I used to have back in the 90's... but I tried using it and its soooo ergonomic, as the Henkel's always were. It arrived RAZOR SHARP.It's been a long time since I owned one Henkel's knife; I used to always have one because it was my main tool by trade as a resort cook. I always sweared by Henkel's; they are the best long-lasting quality and ergonomic design which holds a good long-term sharp edge. They used to cost a fortune when they were only made in Germany; the price came down significantly in the mid-90's when they were made in South America. Now they are even less expensive being made in China; the cost of a cheap knife but still with Henkel's quality??? I'm flabberghasted! Cool deal ✨

Great knife with great weight. Feels balanced in my hand.

This is the most comfortable chef's knife I own. I use it for 90% of my cooking and prep.

Good weight and balance. Sharp blade and quality

really nice for the price. definitely a forged blade, not stamped. holds an edge.

This knife was priced reasonably. It is well-made. Keeps a sharp edge. We are very happy with it.

This is well balanced and comfortable to hold. The price is right and out of my collection of 10 or so chef's knives this is the one I always grab first. And unlike my japanese chef's knives, I don't worry about damaging this one if I drop it.

In all of my 30+ years in the culinary industry have I ever had the pleasure of using such a magnificent tool. Henckel is top quality. The price was perfect. I can't stop talking about the comfortable grip. I think everyone should own one.
