Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It has ergonomic and pleasant grip and cuts well. Super comfy handle.

I have an older set of wustof grand prix steak knives that i pulled out of the rotation just to protect them from misuse. Chops all produce with ease. Sometimes the 8” chef knife is too long and the 6” is better for the job.

The sharpener is fine. The knife blade is a little long compared to the grand prix. It is however a very good buy daily use knife if i run a quick 3x per side on my wüsthof honing steel. It's even sharper than my more expensive chef’s knife.

Cons

It's not terribly uncomfortable, but it does remind you of the knife's poor finishing work each time you handle it.

It rusts and i am constantly cleaning the rust off. Overly perfumed and very unappreciated for someone with fragrance allergies. After only three uses, slicing cooked medium-rare steak, there are stains on both sides of the knife.
