The Wüsthof Classic 8-inch chef's knife is a forged German all-purpose knife, the workhorse of the Classic line. Its blade is stainless steel hardened to 58 HRC, with a full tang and a riveted handle. The 8-inch length covers most chopping, slicing and dicing. The best new price is $109.99 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, with four stores listing it new.

Questions and answers

Is the Wüsthof Classic 8-inch chef's knife worth it?

How does it compare with the Wüsthof Classic Ikon?
The Ikon has a more contoured handle and a different bolster shape. The Classic keeps the traditional riveted handle and full bolster, and usually costs less.

What is the blade made of?
It is forged stainless steel hardened to 58 HRC, made in Germany.

The 8-inch blade suits most home cooks. The 6-inch is handier for smaller hands and tight spaces, and the 10-inch gives more reach for large batches.
