For many years, I have been using an 8" Wusthof Grand Prix as my main prep knife. I wanted something a little smaller and looked long and hard before deciding on this one. It's a great knife: very good ergonomically, stout enough to whack a clove of garlic without fear, VERY sharp, holds an edge very well, and has an almost ideal rocker to the blade for chopping. This has now become my prep knife of choice unless I need the extra size and weight of the Wusthof for specific tasks like cutting a squash I've been using it nightly for about a month and will update this review as time goes on if I discover any issues with it. So far, there are none. It's a joy to use and seems to be quite rugged.One caution--when mine arrived it had come loose in its OEM packaging (it was still inside another box, thankfully) and the tip was protruding out of the cardboard at one end. Be careful to check yours when it arrives so you don't get cut accidentally. Also make sure if it's loose that the tip is not broken. I was lucky and mine wasn't. I can't hold that little problem against Amazon (who double-boxed as they should) or the knife, though. It must have taken a heck of a whack during shipping.
