WÜSTHOF Classic 5" Utility Knife, Black, Stainless Steel

This is a great knife. Very sharp and easy to cut items, however keep in mind the handle is for smaller hands so may not be suitable for everyone.

Great knife. Good size and quality.

My wife's favorite knife. Wonderful quality. Sharpens and holds an edge well After dipping into the world of Japanese knives for a couple years, I'm glad I've come back to German knives. No need to worry about the edge getting chippy with these Germans. Wife can cut whatever she wants

Was looking for something a bit smaller than my large chef knife, when I don't need the heft. This is filling the bill nicely. I was initially thinking of a Santoku style, but I saw this on sale and I wanted a forged blade. Happy I went with this. It is very sharp and we'll see how it holds up. I have sharpened Wusthof knives for friends and they get scary sharp, so I assume I'll be able to maintain that with this one.

This is, by far, the best paring knife I've ever used. It is well balanced and holds an edge better and longer than any other I've used. It's expensive, but think of it as a lifetime purchase.

I was a little hesitant to buy this since I have quite a few high-end handmade Japanese knives. Really wanted to see what the Wusthof hype was about. The knife was sharp out of the box but compared to an off the shelf Global 6"kiritsuke which is about the least expensive knife that I own, it was lacking. I will not even compare it to an Aogami Japanese steel knife. There are some drawbacks of course with the Japanese steel, like my wife refusing to use them due to the care that comes along with the blade, so I will gift this to her.

I have a thing about kitchen knives. They must hold a sharp edge and Wusthof has never disappointed. I must have. $3,000 invested in my kitchen knives and my favorites are always Wusthof. They are a type of stainless steel material, which some people absolutely hate but these have to be the exception. And this little 4.5 inch knife is no exception. It’s has a nice point perfect for intricate cuts. My only complaint is I wish the handle was a little larger in all regards and I wish they made a 5.5 inch version. This is more like a larger, wider paring knife. It could almost be your “go to” knife for 85% of your needs if it were just 1 inch longer. But I’d still recommend this knife to anyone who enjoys cutting with a quality knife and not “sawing” through your food during preparation. Plus I got it on sale for around $59 and free shipping with my prime account, a necessity living in Hawaii.
