My love of fancypants kitchen knives is well documented and one of my very favorite knife makers is Wüsthof. I have a number of their knives on the magnetic strip in my kitchen, and use them nearly every day.
The Wüsthof knife I reach for most often is WÜSTHOF CLASSIC 8-inch Cook’s Knife. It’s well balanced, stays wickedly sharp, and is a joy to use. The one that lives in my kitchen came with my husband when we combined our households back in 2008. He still refers to it as his knife, but I think we all know that it’s really mine.
A few weeks back, I wrote a post about Craftsy’s free Complete Knife Skills class and all the useful things I’d learned from it (along with a recipe for carrot and red pepper refrigerator pickles). In order to continue the knife skills love, Craftsy has kindly offered to give away one WÜSTHOF CLASSIC 8-inch Cook’s Knife to a Food in Jars reader.
This giveaway is a little different from the ones I typically offer here, in that you need to go over to the Craftsy site to enter your name (comments left on this post won’t get you entry this time). If you don’t have one, you will need to create an account on Craftsy in order to enter, but it shouldn’t take long and they are good citizens when it comes to user information.
There’s just one entry per person. The winner will be chosen at random. The giveaway closes at 11:59 pm on Saturday, March 22, 2014.

PS: All Craftsy food and cooking classes are up to 50% off through the weekend, so if you’ve ever wanted to learn more at Artisan Bread Making, Mother Sauces, or Vietnamese Classics, this is your chance to do so at a bargain!

Love this knife, I’ll be entering for sure!
I could really use a good sharp knife but didn’t want to spend the $$$, so went and entered the giveaway. Keeping my fingers crossed in hopes that I win.
Thank you.
Not finding the link on the Craftsy site. 🙁

As soon as you mentioned the Craftsy Knife Skills class I signed up and took it. Even at my age, I learned a lot, and I LOVED THAT CLASS! I recommended it to dozens of people on a forum where I was a moderator for a couple of years, and especially a friend who cut the tips of several fingers off a few months ago, when she was chopping something after her husband sharpened her knives, and she didn’t know how sharp they were. For the first time in my life I can now use a honing steel properly! And sharpen my knives well enough to make a chef proud! Marisa, I can’t thank you enough for providing the link to that class, as I can be found in my kitchen for long hours every day, and I needed those tips.
Having taken the awesome knife skills class that you recommended from Craftsy (seriously, it was life-changing!) I now know that I have seriously damaged the blades of my chef’s knives. Time for a replacement for sure!
So desperate for a good knife! And can’t wait to check out the knife skills link! Thanks!
