As the review mentions, they are both great knives...the thermoplastic handle of the Legende is every bit as good as the poly handle of the classic. For me (30+ years cooking) the real difference is in weight. I personally prefer a well balanced knife and wood feel. Out of these two synthetic handles, the Poly is going to give me more of a natural feel and a better balanced knife overall. The thermo will be lighter in the hand and may tilt forward more dulling the tip of the knife faster than the edge.
Price is nice though, this would be good to get used to how Wusthof makes their knives.
Cheers,
Forged vs Stamped: This Wusthof is forged so the knife is thicker and heftier vs the Global which is stamped and thus thinner and lighter. Depending on application or preference that's a pro/con, like a thinner knife is better for fish or squash, but a thicker knife is better of meat and other tougher foods. But in general forged > stamped.
Handle: Global handles are metal with dimples. Reviews are polarizing, its love or hate. You really have to try it out in person first. Additionally I read that long chopping sessions results in blisters. This Wusthof is thermoplastic, looks basic, but it is function over form: Its nearly indestructible and provides grip when wet. This is the material you'd usually find in restaurant kitchens for the aforementioned perks as well as it being non-porous so to not allow to absorb juices of chicken for example so its food safe. End of day, if you've never held a Global, probably shouldn't risk it.
Length: Preferred length depends from person to person, but the "standard" chef knife is 8". This Wusthof at 6" is already pretty short imo for an all purpose knife. At 5" for the Global, I'd say its a utility knife, not that its a bad thing but it'll just feel like a slightly oversized steak knife.

Recently, I sent a few steak knives back —about 6 mths ago— bc my previous ones either had a broken handle or small rust spots and when I received new knives back, they looked similar but weren't the same quality as the ones I sent in. They work fine but it was a notable difference.
