Wusthof Classic Vegetable Knife, 8"
Designed specifically to efficiently slice, chop and trim fresh produce, this German knife features a perforated blade that reduces friction when you're cutting potatoes and other firm vegetables. A lengthwise ridge helps push cut ingredients off the blade. The full-tang blade is forged from stain-resistant high-carbon steel and riveted to the nonslip polypropylene handle for balance and control. Knife is precision forged from a single piece of sturdy high-carbon steel that resists stains and corrosion. Wusthof's Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) creates an extraordinarily sharp blade that retains its edge 30% longer. Full tang is triple riveted to the handle for exceptional durability and control. Durable polymer handle is contoured for a comfortable grip.

Cool, but not a "must have"
May 10, 2013
I love Wusthof and I love a knife that is well suited to its particular task. This knife is very cool to look at and feels great in the hand, but it is nothing to get crazy about.
The good news is that it is well made and when I bought it on sale it was a good price. The bad news is that it is not really a necessary addition to any kitchen's cutlery stand if you already have a good 8" chef's knife that you like and know how to use properly.
My kids eat cucumbers and apples and other fresh fruits and veggies and I make hand-cut fries. All should be a perfect test of this blade. Turns out, it is not much better than what I already have and the holes require extra attention to clean.
It just is not different enough to make a "must have" knife.
Pros: Durable, Quality, Balance, Weight
Cons: Difficult to Clean

Perfect for potatoes
April 22, 2013
I expected a lot from a Wusthof knife and I was not disappointed. The knife has a nice weight and excellent balance. It is ideal for slicing potatoes as the ridge and holes keep slices from sticking to the blade. I highly recommend this knife.
Pros: Easy to Use, Quality, Balance, Size, Strength, Sharpness, Weight

excellent piece
December 6, 2012
I have owned this knife for over a year. It has become one of my basic use knives. It cuts veggies so well with no sticking plus it is very well balanced. I smile almost every time I use it as it certainly looks odd in the overall knife world.......BUT IT WORKS!! Dicing/slicing those veggies has never been easier.
I just went on line to look at it again as I want to give one each to three of my family members for Christmas. I know this is something they would appreciate but never spend the money on. I would rather not spend the money either but their smiles and enjoyment trump money.......:-)
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Balance, Easy to Clean, Easy to Store, Size, Strength, Sharpness, Shape, Weight

Great for raw root vegetables
June 13, 2012
While not really a necessity --we somehow managed to cut up lots of raw vegetables before buying it-- it is very nice. It gets almost daily use during CSA basket & Farmers' Market season which helps us justify the cost.
Like all knives in the "Classic" line, it has a traditional look and it feels good in both my smallish-medium hand and my husband's larger hand.
Pros: Quality, Sharpness

Glad I waited
December 20, 2011
I had wanted to get a hollow ground knife to slice vegetables for a long time. I went into Williams Sonoma to purchase a Wusthof chef's hollow ground. The sales person gave me information about this vegetable knife. It works great. When I sliced potatoes they did not stick to the knife. This saved me time, as I did not have to stop slicing to remove the potatoes.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Balance, Easy to Clean, Size, Sharpness, Weight
