Nice looking knife. I'd consider trading my 9" Wusthof for one (though Wusthof do their steel a bit harder).

The one in the article isn't that wide; it's one of the non-extra-wide in the same range.

(If I was to buy another Western chef's knife, I'd go for the Fallkniven Blue Whale. I like hard knife steel.)
