Review: Highly recommend for anyone who wants a high-quality slicing knife that performs flawlessly! - The HENCKELS Classic 8-inch slicing knife exceeded all my expectations. It’s incredibly sharp right out of the box and glides through meat, fruits, and vegetables with almost no effort. The balance feels perfect in the hand, and the craftsmanship clearly reflects the brand’s long history and expertise. The stainless steel blade is sturdy, precise, and holds its edge beautifully. This knife has quickly become one of my favorite tools in the kitchen—reliable, comfortable, and professional‑grade.
Review: Excellent value; perfect for the home chef - When you're shopping for a chef knife, the sky really is the limit. You can get anything from a cheap discount knife from your local department store to a hand-forged knife with a diamond-studded handle. I'm not a professional chef, but I like to fancy myself a pretty good home chef, and I was looking for a knife that would hold up against the culinary challenges I might throw at it without breaking the bank. I honestly feel like this might be the best value knife for that purpose. It's extremely sharp, has a nice weight, and fits my hand like a glove. I've been loving every minute of working with it so far, and I'm looking forward to using it for many years to come. To test it out, I put it through some serious paces. I had absolutely no problem cutting meat, carrots, or asparagus. It slid through my onions and potatoes like a hot knife through butter. I was able to chiffonade basil with only the slightest of bruising. A top-shelf knife might have done better on such delicate herbs, but I've never seen anything do as well at under $50. If you're a chef on a budget or perhaps a beginning chef looking to graduate to a real instrument as opposed to the dull discount-store knives you've been working with up until now, I really can't recommend this knife highly enough. I would imagine even professionals would be happy to use it. Treat it well and keep it sharpened and you'll have a wonderful tool in your kitchen for many years to come. Note: the manufacturer says it's dishwasher safe, but I don't recommend putting any good knife in the dishwasher, so I can't comment on how it holds up under those conditions. Note also to beware: this review is for the forged knife. I noticed that the 3-piece knife set linked to this knife's page on desertcart is the stamped version.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the handle made of?**
A: It is written in the description.  The handle is stainless steel and the blade is plastic.  I could be wrong but I suspect they have this backwards?  :)  In any case the description could be better with a bit more detail of what steel instead of this generic stainless description as well as what kind of plastic polymer is used for the handle.

**Q: Is this from their Professional-S series?**
A: No - The S Series are made in Germany, do not have the rivets in the handle, and cost almost 2x of the Classic Series.  As others have pointed out, you still get a great knife for the price.  My S knives still need to be honed and sharpened regularly.

**Q: Does this knife have a full tang blade that extends through the handle? Not possible to tell from the pictures.  Only visible from top of knife.**
A: This knife does have a full tang blade that extends through the entire handle.  An excellent knife.

**Q: when it says 8 inches, is that the length of the blade itself, or is that the blade plus the handle?**
A: 8 inches is the length of just the blade, handle not included in measurement

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unbeatable!!
*by L***N on January 29, 2024*

My husband has been wanting a HENCKELS knife for a decade, he even went so far as to order a set once but ended up with counterfeits. I was very leery about ordering this for the same reason, but did my research and these are the real deal. The difference was obvious as soon as we got it delivered too. This knife is unbelievable! I've never seen craftsmanship quite like this before. WOW! Worth the money and if you can get one while it's on sale DO IT!!! We got a great deal on ours during Prime days around the holiday and I think we saved 40 or 50 % of what these go for. The knife is incredibly well balanced, sharp, and makes food prep so enjoyable! This knife in particular is a perfect size for my husband, he's pretty tall, and this fits in his grip well. It's really a well made, durable, and beautiful knife. I think we'll be ordering this brand in perpetuity. Like I said, if you can get a good deal - don't miss out!!
