That's Henckel's standard 8-incher -- the term wide is advertisement speak only.
It's not deep-bellied anywhere near the Wusthofs.

I just checked the Henckels site at
http://www.zwilling.com/locale/en_ww...ategorie_id/11
and confirmed that the 6" is indeed still their longest wide-bodied chef's
knife. Too bad -- I'm always looking for deep-bodied knives.
