I purchased a 9''Wustoff Classic Ikon chef knife. I'm impressed! the blade stays sharp and the shape of it is good for everything from splitting squash, to fine dicing shallots. It makes mundane tasks like dicing up mirepoix much easier.
all in all I think this knife rocks!

I was having no luck finding a bread knife that could handle the crusts of the hearth breads I bake in my wood fired brick oven. Paul of Paul’s Finest knew the problem and had just the right Wusthof knife for me [Wusthof Gourmet Serrated Super Slicer, #4517] at a fine price. Now, thick or thin, I get the perfect slice every time. The service was quick and courteous.
