Review: Top quality knife - The knife is beautiful and sharp. My wife loved this gift for Christmas. She’s only told me about 50x that it’s an amazing knife. Now to add more Wüsthof knives to our collection.
Review: it’s really the best partial-bolster western style chef knife for the money in my opinion - If you can get a decent deal on this knife, it’s really the best partial bolster Western style chef knife. I think you can get for the money. It’s just a no-brainer. I like that. It’s only a partial bolster not a full bolster. The handle and the blade designer excellent, and just worked so well. You won’t regret it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between 8" cook's knife in gray logo and the older model in red logo? Is the quality and specs the same?**
A: The logo seems to have changed color (red to grey) as part of a 21st century marketing upgrade.  According to the wusthof.com website, "The iconic Trident remains the core visual of our brand, symbolizing the heritage, quality and sharpness of each of our blades. The newly designed logo emphasizes a clear-cut, sharp and to-the-point modern design. At the same time, this contemporary interpretation acknowledges the age-old artisanal tradition of knife making while exemplifying the high-precision craftsmanship embodied in all WÜSTHOF knives. While visual elements such as our logo and the etchings on our blades have changed, the craftsmanship and quality that have made WÜSTHOF the world’s most respected cutlery brand remain our core values."

**Q: Does it come with a sleeve or any protector?**
A: No; my WUSTHOF 1040330120 Classic did not have a sleeve.  It  came in a cardboard and plastic box.

**Q: Where can I order a blade sleeve?**
A: I bought 2 of them off Amazon after the Wusthoff web site told me that they were sold out.  Only took 2 days to be delivered to my home.

**Q: what is the better stainless steel or carbon**
A: According to web site monroeengineering.com:  Stainless steel has a high chromium content which acts as a protective layer against corrosion and rust. Carbon steel is high in carbon that when exposed to moisture can corrode and rust quickly.  Carbon Steel is stronger and more durable then stainless steel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The last knife you'll ever need!
*by H***. on January 11, 2026*

I love Wüsthof, particularly this knife. I actually bought the same knife 25 years ago and bought this as a Christmas gift for my niece's boyfriend. Needless to say, when he opened his gift, he was so excited and said the same thing I did, you can't beat German Steel, particularly Wüsthof German steel. I can do all the fine cutting with this knife that most can do with other smaller knives. The knife is well balanced both weight and weight distribution, defi Italy ease to use,perfect size, durable (again mine is still perfect after 25 years) and it stays sharp. I do recommend getting the Wüsthof sharpener for after you use it on onions or tomatoes since they can cause any blade to dull.
