What our customer's say!

"Wusthof 7inch knife", This is the knife I SHOULD have had all the while I was feeding a family of 5!! It is VERY sharp and cuts everything like it is cutting butter.
Delivery was fast and easy. Nothing negative to say at all.

"Great Knife!", Love the knife. My wife and I now fight over who gets to use it. It's very sharp. Much sharper than any other knife we own. Great buy.

"What a knife!!!", Now I know why people rave about this knife. WOW! Makes my other knife look like a rolling pin. It chops with the least amount of effort applied, handle feels like it was made just for my hand, balance is excellent, & food doesn't stick to it at all. In order for me to try it, I had to wait for my sister to leave the room because she won't let anyone touch it. She loves this knife that much. Another well made German product. Can't wait for mine to arrive so I could enjoy using it too.

"Wusthof 5" knife", This knife has a comfortable handle and excellent sharpness. It may be pricey but I would recommend investing in quality kitchen tools that will last. This tool has the quality I was searching for.

"I love this knife", I love all my Wusthof knives, but this one is my favorite. It feels nimble in my hand, is easy to work with and keeps a sharp edge. What else could you want?

"worth every penny", IF you consider yourself a good cook, except lacking in knife skills, doubt no more. The knife is well-balanced in my smaller hand and requires none of the effort I've experienced with my other good chef knives. So faster, easier, what's not to be happy about?

"Grand Prix 2 handle not as comfortable as old Grand Prix", I bought this knife to complement my set of Grand Prix knives because I wanted something that was mid-way between a chef's knife and a cleaver and this fit the bill. The knife is very useful, well designed and well made (as expected of a Wusthof). I would prefer the knife to be a little heavier as it feels somewhat lighter to me than my 8 inch Grand Prix Chef's knife. But it cuts through meat and veggies very well without any "clinging" to the blade. It also makes short work of tough fruits like melons, canteloupes, etc. I also find the Grand Prix 2 handle not as comfortable as my Grand Prixs. I prefer the straight-backed handle of the older model to the new humped-back ergonomic handles on the Grand Prix 2's but that is just my preference. Otherwise, I am pleased with the knife.

"The most used knife in my kitchen.", I have been an enthusiastic amateur chef for many years and have accumulated a knife block full of various fine-edged knives. My most used knife was my Wustof Grand Prix 10" chef. When I saw Rachel Ray using this strange looking knife of the Food Channel, I was intrigued. Over time I saw more and more of the chefs on The Food Channel using this knife and became very intrigued. I decided to buy one. After six months it is still the most used knife in my kitchen. For things like chopping onions, carrots, celery, peppers, garlic, etc it is much easier to use than my chefs knife. Its balance and light weight make a dream to use in this application.

You are still going to need your other knifes. I reach for my chef's knife when it comes time to open a squash or eggplant. I go to my paring, butcher, bread, slicing and carving knifes as appropriate. However, I wind up using this jewel more than all of them put together. Buy it; you will not regret the decision.

"Knife I value as a top 10 item I own - PERIOD.", I'm a young college student who works at a restaurant as a waiter. Like many young people, I one day got a fleeting aspiration that would probably go away within a couple of weeks. I wanted to be an awesome cook, so the first thing I did was ask the chef at my restaurant what tools I needed to start. He told me a good kitchen knife is THE essential tool of the chef. He recommended I go to Williams Sonoma and try out every knife possible but warned me that chef knives cost close to $100 dollars each. Whoa! He also said that Santoku blades are very popular these days because they're extremely versatile and feel good in your hands (something about balance).

Nonetheless, I went to Williams-Sonoma the next day and tried out the Henkels, Wustof Classic, Wustof Grand Prix, Wustof Grand Prix 2, Globals, and Shuns. I ultimately chose the Wustof Grand Prix 2 because of the perfect balance in the knife. The handle was much grippier than the others, extremely light, but not as thin as the Globals (which I thought might lead to a blister), or with the unnatural offset handle of the Shun (Left handers actually feel that it works perfectly - I'm a righty like the majority of people). I'm extremely paranoid of cutting myself ever since my mom cut herself pretty bad but after handling that particular knife, I was confident I would never cut myself. I eventually purchased it on Amazon with in an asian knife set (paring knife + santoku).

When I finally used it for the first time, I seriously could not believe how quickly I could cut. I always thought it was skill that the chefs at my workplace would use to dice things, slice meats, or chop veggies. Was I ever wrong! Any idiot using a knife this sharp and this balanced could cut like a master. I was cutting slices of apples so incredibly thin I started laughing! They were so thin, I could see through them! Tomatoes cut with no effort. After purchasing this knife, I started buying more and more kitchen supplies to match that same euphoria.

A year has passed, and for my recent birthday, my friends got me a gift certificate to Williams Sonoma. I am known amongst my friends as the guy who can cook an amazing meal. I owe it all to this knife! I'm very lazy, and if I took the same time cutting stuff as a I used to before I owned this knife, I simply would not cook for myself let alone others. I take this knife with me wherever I cook - I refuse to use other people's knives. Even at work, I hate trying out my coworkers knives. They feel unnatural. I've even gotten comments when I cut up fruit for friends. They literally hear it come out of the knife block and look to see what made that sweet shimmering noise.

I rank this as #4 on my list of top 10 things I own. The first 3 being my North Face Goretex Jacket to get me through the winter walking to classes in Michigan. The second being my Computer so I can buy stuff and write reviews here. The third being my waterproof sneakers (again for the winter). I place this knife before my mp3 player, my stereo, my TV, my xbox, my Playstation 2, and all my Calphalon pans put together. I might even go so far as to put it in front of my absolutely adorable toy maltese-poodle mix (he's related to Jessica Simpson's dog). This review may seem a little far-fetched, but I am simply in love with my knife.

Pros - Extremely good construction, Perfect Balance, Good Grip, Easy to Clean, Comes presharpened, Haven't needed to resharpen or even hone since I've owned it, looks good, grooves prevent food from sticking, able to cut extremely thin, Handle allows multiple grips to be used.

Cons - Not dishwashable, my girlfriend left it in water overnight to soak, left permanent watermarks on my blade. Grr. Not cheap! Have no clue how to claim lifetime warranty, Tang is only 3/4 length (but also makes the knife lighter).

Try out as many knives before you purchase. Only 1 type will feel "right" to you. But if you think like me (safety first) then you'll love this knife.
