I am in the verge of getting a new German made Chefs knife around 8". I would like to get a forged one from the few currently available brands in Turkey. I already have a Zwilling Five Star 8" Chefs knife with full bolster which has a flatter profile, and a Mercer Genesis half bolster which is Taiwanese. The new chefs knife should have a round belly for ultimate rocking cuts.
Wusthof lines seem to have vanished here. Zilling and F.Dick have rounder profile knives. Zwilling Pro 8" and F.Dick Premier Plus 8" knives are at the same price level, F.Dick 1905 8" knife is slightly (%10-15) higher. F.Dick Premier Plus line has full bolsters so I am reluctant to go that path but would rather have a half bolster 1905 instead.
Many reviews for F.Dick 1905 line claim that it were the cheaper alternative to Zwilling/Wusthof brands but it is the opposite here. Would you still buy a 1905 knife?
