I'd highly recommend it for anyone upgrading or buying their first good knife.
For my all around go-to knife this is the first one I reach for. I also use a very lightweight 4.75" Japanese Santoku for prepping soup-based dishes (heavy on the mushrooms, green onions, and other veggies) that need special cuts. The santoku doesn't handle bones at all, which is when this cook's knife steps in and gets the job done. I'm so impressed with Wusthof's Classic line, I went ahead and added an extra-wide 4" paring knife and a shorter 4.75" cook's knife. I might need a larger knife one day, but this collection is satisfying all my prep needs for now. The 6" cook's knife is highly recommended!
Looking to buy a cleaver next and Wusthof is the first brand I'll turn to.
Fit and finish are overall pretty good. Mine had a small chink in the edge of the blade when I unboxed it, and it also needed a few passes over my ceramic honing stone, but otherwise it’s immaculate. Out of the box it was literally sharp enough to shave with.
Sizewize, it’s more narrow at its widest part than my 8” and the blade is a little thinner throughout its length. To me it almost feels fragile in comparison to my 8”, which being high-carbon steel, it kind of is.
My 8” Katana has better ergonomics, as its handle seamlessly blends into the blade, so I’ll have to learn a new grip to use this one, but that’s a minor detail. It’s very light and feels quite nimble in the hand, which is exactly what I was looking for.
I’m very pleased and I’ll most likely buy additional Classic series knives, based on my experience with this one.
I think the handle is somewhat dated - there's definitely cooler more modern styles that fit the hand more ergonomically. Then again I kinda like the flat side that keeps it from rolling in my hand.
I really like the 6 inch size. I've got bigger knives and when I'm going after a pot of potatoes or some big meat I'll use them. But for most veggies and smaller meats the 6 inch is so much easier to use. Great for kids too - big enough they know it's not a toy but small enough they can work it without feeling intimidated.
Sharp A.F. - you have been warned.
Seriously this item is probably the best made thing I've ever had in my hand. It almost makes this world and this life tolerable.
It is much sharper than my old knife. I like that.
It seems longer/bigger than my old knife and that will take some getting use to.
