Our take on the Winco Chef Knife

The Winco Chef Knife is an 8-inch forged chef's knife in the German style, made from X50CrMoV15 stainless steel with a full tang and a molded POM handle. It is ice-tempered and polished, and it weighs about 295 g, so it is heavier than many stamped home knives. At $22.12 at Culinary Depot as of November 5, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range; two stores list it new.

Questions and answers

Is the Winco Chef Knife worth it?
At $22.12 at Culinary Depot as of November 5, 2026, it is a low-cost way to get a forged, full-tang German-steel chef's knife. It suits home cooks who want a sturdy workhorse rather than a showpiece.
How does it compare with a Victorinox or Wüsthof chef's knife?
It uses similar X50CrMoV15 steel to many German knives but costs far less. Expect a heavier feel and a plainer handle than a Wüsthof, and less taper than a Victorinox Fibrox.
Is it dishwasher safe?
The listing says no special cleaning is required, but hand washing and drying is the safer habit for any forged knife. Dishwasher heat and detergent can dull the edge and wear the handle.
What size and weight is it?
The blade is 8 inches and the knife weighs about 295 g. That is on the heavy side for an 8-inch chef's knife, which some cooks like for chopping.
What is in the box?
One chef's knife. No sheath, sharpener or block is included.
When is the best time to buy it?
It already sits near the low end of its recent range at $22.12 as of November 5, 2026. Watch for small drops around back-to-school and holiday kitchen sales.
