Linked: The Best Chef’s Knife

via Gizmodo: (god do I hate linking to them)

After an extremely close voting round, the Wusthof Classic Cooks Knife has cut through the competition as your choice for Best Chef’s Knife. You praised it specifically for its durability, hand-protecting shape, heft, balance, and of course, sharpness.

I picked one of these up 3 years ago in the 8” format. I’ve had it sharpened once just 3 months ago and I hone it usually once a week. I’ve de-boned over 30 chickens including removing feet, head, etc and I’ve broken down 2 whole hogs with it and a deer. i use it every day, I chop bone with it (although you’re not supposed to) and pretty much beat the shit out of this  knife. Best $150 I ever spent. Not a single ding or failure in the blade or handle. 

If you cook at home, this is the only knife you need and it’ll do 90% of what you need a knife for. Yes even as a steak knife, this thing works great.
