I’m Lovin’ It : My 8″ Henckels Chef’s Knife
This post may contain Amazon or other affiliate links. As an Amazon associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
If you were around for the holidays, you may remember my Holiday Wish List, and how I said I thought a Henckels Chef’s Knife could possibly change my life.
Well fortunately for me, Santa came thru and I was right! My new knife has changed my life in the kitchen!!
I have never owned a good knife, so considering that a good chef’s knife is probably the single most important and useful tool in a kitchen, it’s no wonder it’s made such an impact on me!
Now, I’ll be the first to tell you I don’t know much about knives but I do know I’m in LOVE with the 8″ Henckels Chef’s Knife I’m now using and I’m blown away at the difference a good knife can make.
I wish I could make sure you ALL had a good knife in your kitchen……….but I can make sure ONE of you has one!
I’m going to send a Henckels 8″ Chef knife (similar to the one I have) to one lucky TidyMom reader!

My wife told me about your giveaway so I had to get in for a chance to win. I love Henckels knives. Thanks.
I have a few Henckels knives and LOVE them. I usually go to the steak knife for pretty much everything – I would LOVE the 8 inch, but would never spend that much on myself! Thanks
My favorite knife is a Pampered Chef knife. I would love a new kitchen knife!
Hi Cheryl!
This is the first time I’ve ever left a message on a blog…. I am a blog virgin! I found your site via Pinterest… which seems to be taking over all of my free time lately!! 🙂 SO… I need to get back into the kitchen , and cook! I really don’t have any “good” knives” the ones that I do have just barely get the job done. I love to try new recipes and new ideas and techniques in the kitchen, so I would absolutly LOVE to win the 8″ Henckels Chef’s Knife and cut/chop like a wild woman!!
Pick me, pick me! 🙂 Love your blog – by the way!
Thanks for being so generous!!! ~ Mia
I don’t have a GOOD knife, I have a couple of OK knives and can see where a GOOD one would make a huge difference! Pick me please!
My favorite knife is definitely my chef’s knife. It’s only a cheapie one (around $10) but I still use it all the time. I’d love to upgrade it!
I have some good knives, but not a great one…………….. I keep thinking I need to make the plunge but just haven’t yet, hmmm, maybe it is because of the cost! 🙂
I have Cutco knives that I sold when I was in HIghSchool, almost 27 years ago, and would a new knife would be greatly appreciated. I love to cook and my knives take a beating. They still are great, but I would love to take your Henckels for a drive.
we have a few ok knives but nothing i couldn’t live without
i just can never bring myself to spend much money on a knife
My favorite knife is a small paring knife I bought from a Menonite store. It’s pretty sharp but small! lol. Would love to have a really good knife though!
My favorite knife is my pampered chef knife but I would LOVE to have a new kitchem knife!
I bet a good knife makes a big difference! I have a hard time spending money on a good knife don’t really know what makes a good knife!! Thanks for a chance to win one
I need a new knife so desperately. It is the one thing I haven’t invested in yet.
I would love a quality Chef’s Knife. I currently use knives from a Chicago Cutlery set I received for my wedding.
I don’t own any awesome knives, but would love to start with this one!
My husband and I really want to buy some good knives this year! We don’t own any that are that great. The one we use the most is small paring knife that was free from Sam’s Club!
I would LOVE a chef’s knife. I do not have one, I have a Chicago Cutlery Utility knife, but with husband and kids using it, and not taking proper care, I can’t get it sharp anymore. If I was lucky enough to get this one, I would keep it separate and not let them use it!
i have some gingerich(sp) steak knives i got a couple years ago for christmas. love them… so sharp its makes the toughtest cut like butter
After 10 years of faithful service, the handle of my Henckels chef knife cracked. My daughter, who is an aspiring chef (at age 11!), put it in the dishwasher. I don’t have the money right now (still paying Christmas bills) to replace it. I will say, it was one of the best knives ever. I had the blade professionally sharpened once a year, but it stayed “true” with a little maintenance from the steel. The blade was very nicely balanced, and made chopping a breeze.
I do not own a good knife of any kind but would love one.
I’ve been looking for some good knives for my kitchen…..I will definitely check into these!
Thanks for hosting!
I have one good Santoku-style knife (can’t remember know if it is Henckels or Wusthoff) that we got about 6 years ago. It is still holding on strong, but I’d love a good chef’s knife! Thanks for the chance!!
I have a few nice knives but they belong to our daughter and when she moves, they go with her. I think I might cry (for several reasons)!
I definately need a good chef’s knife!
Seems there are always other things at the top of my list to buy! Would love a new chef knife- my life needs changing!
I have Henckel knives and LOVE them! I don’t have the 8″ Chef’s knife but my favorite knife is the Santoku.
Tidy Mom, I need a new knife for the following reasons:
1. My knives were wedding gifts and I’ve been married for 11 years come March 8th.
2. I’d like to be able to cut ALL THE WAY THROUGH onions, celery, carrots, etc.
3. My teeth are sharper than my current set of knives, I’ve been using those to cut through the aforementioned veggies.
See? I could really use this knife! 🙂
I have not had the pleasure of using a Henckels knife! I will have to check them out. I just found your website and am thrilled! Thank you for sharing your tips! Thanks again!
No good knives. In fact, I had a knife break on my this week while cutting cheese (haha)….the handle snapped right off. Luckily I still have all my fingers and only a minor cut.
Had not heard of Henckles Chef Knives…. would “love” to try one out. My husband actually makes knives, so I guess I would have to say that the best knife I’ve owned was made by him (with love). Love your posts, by the way!!!
I would love to try this knife! I have never spent any money on getting myself knives, but spend a TON of time in the kitchen cooking. I have always heard that a dull knife is more dangerous then a sharp one, so this knife would prove the theory! Thanks for the great giveaway!!
I would love to have one of these knives. I have a few of the RADA knives and they are pretty good, but nothing professional. Thanks!!
No good knives here. Would love to have this one!
My favorite knife is a Wustoff santuko knife that my mom bought us for Christmas a couple years ago. It cuts so smoothly. I’m slowly trying to build a nice collection.
I have been staring at new knives for awhile now, knowing that they are an excellent investment. Would love to win this one!
I have a good paring knife…but not a good chef’s knife
As far as I am concerned a good knife is essential!! If you have a good knife, a good skillet and a good soup pot or large dutch oven you are golden.

I don’t have any fancy knives. I actually have only one since I’m away at college; it’s my go to knife. It’s a nicely priced Thai Kiwi brand meat knife. Of course, I only had it for half a year, but it still cuts like it’s new unlike our Ikea brand knives.
I have one Henckel knife, but a girl can always use more to create some terrific dishes for our loved ones.
Good knives make a world of difference. So happy you have a nice one now. I would love to win it!!
-Thanks bunches!
Heather
I wish I had a fancy knife…would love to win this one!
Thanks so much for the opportunity! 🙂
My favorite paring knife is Henckel one – I would love to add this knife to my collection! I would use it EVERY day! Thank you for a great giveaway, and a terrific blog.
Cheryl, I have a 3-knife Tramontina knife set that I got from Walmart. They work well for their size, however, an 8 inch chef knife would be wonderful to have!
Oh my, what an awesome giveaway. I’ve never owned a “good” knife and these have been on my wish list for a couple of years now:)
No. I am so in need of a good knife.
I recently got the Henckels 5-Inch Stainless-Steel Serrated Utility Knife to slice tomatoes. I love it! It makes the job so much easier.
I’ve been askingh for a while for a good knife set. Husband totally not getting a the hint. Lol.
Thanks for the chance.
Mary
I have some Komachi knives that I like so far, but I would love to try the Henckles!
