I have the 8" Wusthof Classic and can't say that I can fault it. Where I bought mine (BB&B) they only had Henkels and Wusthof in open stock, I tried both out for feel and weight distribution, and for my hand (large hands, but not freakishly, I'd say average large hands) the Wusthof felt more balanced with the proper holding technique in my hand. After I decided on the Wusthof, the sales manager said that they sold alot more Wusthof to local chef's around town. I don't think that means its any better than the Henkels, just what the locals seem to prefer at that store, which I'm sure the sales volume of any of these knives is not much.
I'd say really, try both in your hands if you can at all. They all DO feel different, and you'll know which one to get when its in your hands, SOOOO much different from all of the cheap knives I've had over the years. I replaced an entire cheap block set with an 8" chef's knife, and a 6" paring knife. I'll eventually get a nice bread knife and I'll be able to do more, easier and faster with those 3 knives, than with an entire set of useless knives.
So try to hold them in YOUR hand and make your decision, other than metalurgy facts, no one can tell you which one you'll like more, but you and your hand!
