I recently received my replacement 8" chefs knife and have to say that I am somewhat disappointed. You see maybe I am spoiled, but I have come to expect the highest of quality and craftsmanship in your products.
My disappointment is that (I think) quality control missed it, or so I hope.
You see the tang where it meets the handle has a ridge ,maybe someone missed it. It is not much of a ridge but it is noticeable and somewhat irritating when you are holding it.
Don't get me wrong I love your product and have had them for many years, this would bot sway me in purchasing more, just make me look harder to make sure it is as you would expect from wusthof....perfection
