Amazon.com

A good chef's knife becomes your daily kitchen companion. It's used for everything from prepping steaks for the grill to finely mincing onions, and chances are you'll reach for it every time you cook--so it better be good. This lower-priced line from Henckels is a great value: excellent quality knives with their standard lifetime warranty. There's good balance, and the handles are a shade heavier than other lines, which some cooks will prefer. The 8-inch blade length is the most practical for multipurpose use, and regular sharpening will keep the stainless-steel blade razor-sharp. It's only minimally flexible, which makes it a great choice for vegetables such as potatoes and turnips. While it's dishwasher-safe, unless it needs sanitizing after use with raw meat, it's often easier to hand wash. --Jill Lightner

Inadvertently have tried both versions

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2024

Color: Stainless SteelSize: 8-inchVerified Purchase

I ordered one of these 8" knives a little over a year ago, and it's been a great knife. Came sharp, was comfortable, well balanced, and it held an edge very well. Unfortunately I recently was shifting a few items, and it fell off the counter, tip down onto my tile floors and bent. Long story short I needed a replacement, and I liked it enough to replace it. It gets to me, and it turns out that I was shipped the classic version instead. I immediately felt a difference in the handle and knew something was up. It's also considerably heavier but equally as balanced. It was washed and put right to use, and it's as just sharp as the original one. I can't wait to put it through its paces. Turns out that sometimes things that seem bad end up being great! I would definitely recommend ensuring you get a classic if you spend the money, but I don't think you'll be disappointed in either.
