• Classic German Steel
  Good, sturdy, well-built knives in the Solingen tradition, and this one is a good handy size.

• Watch out!
  Amazon considers all sizes of this knife - from 4.5" to 10" - a single item for reviews. As a result, half the reviews will not apply to the size you are looking at.

• The Sweetest Litte Chef's Knife Ever
  I've been a fan of Wüsthof knives since I worked my way up to sous chef while paying my way through school.

• Great knife, but dulls quickly.
  This is a great knife (weight, balance, etc) but it seems to dull quickly despite the fact that it is rarely used on anything more than fruit and veggies. Don't buy it unless you are willing to invest in a sharpener to go with. The one on the back of our automatic can opener seems to work great. DO NOT use an automatic sharpener with this knife. Three to four strokes on a manual sharpener does a perfect job. An automatic will take too much metal off.
