Note, that no knife sharpening shop on earth charges more to sharpen a bolstered knife.
Community Reviews
Wusthof Classic knives are framed as durable, high performing German chef knives that excel at everyday prep and hold an edge well over years of use. The 8 inch chef knife and paring knife are described as a solid, premium set, with praise for cutting feel, balance, and long term reliability. The full bolster draws the main caveat, since it can make sharpening and maintaining the edge more awkward for home cooks, even though others have no trouble with it. A strong pick if you want a classic workhorse and can live with the bolster.
The knives can hold up for many years with honing instead of frequent sharpening.
The full bolster design can reduce the chance of cutting fingers during prep work.
The 8-inch chef knife can maintain its edge better than cheaper knives previously used.
The set can be sharpened using a Chef's Choice electric sharpener without reported problems.
A full bolster can get in the way when sharpening, which can be a drawback at this price point.
A full-bolster Wüsthof Classic can be harder to sharpen at home and may require extra bolster maintenance.
Sharpening can make the knife look increasingly worse over time.
The bolster can affect grip and cutting technique, and it may not meaningfully improve safety in practice.

If you're looking for a cheaper but high quality workhorse of a chef knife you can't go wrong with Dexter-Russell. I love this knife. https://www.amazon.com/Dexter-Rus...ref=sr_1_

Japanese "style" chef knives made with high quality Chinese steel (to mimic "VG10 Japanese steel), are becoming more popular than the traditional German brands simply because of bang for the buck. Many of these knives seem to be comparable to the classic German brands. I love my Zwilling "Four Stars" 8" chef knife, but I paid $40 on sale, I wouldn't have paid more. Just search "Japanese Chef Knives". It's actually pretty amazing what you can buy under $30, but if you want to spend even less, there are plenty of really good knives under $20, Mercer, Cuisinart, Martha Stewart, KitchenAid, all good in my opinion. For example, I have the Martha Stewart "Carverton" chef knife and it's amazingly close to the Zwilling.
That knife sharpening expert in the youtube video praised the $28 "Babish" (real name Andrew Rea) as well. I have no doubt that's a good knife. Mr. Rea has a whole line of quality kitchen products because his entire reputation is at stake with his branded stuff.
When buying Dexter-Russell, "Sani-Safe" and "DexSteel" are the key words to look for. Sani-Safe is the industry standard in commercial kitchen knives, and DexSteel is their US made steel. I personally wouldn't buy the imported "Basics" they sell. They're probably good too, but not sourced and made in the U.S. like the Sani-Safe line. For those that didn't know, Dexter-Russell dates back to 1818. Yes, you can still buy quality products proudly made in the USA.

My commercial customers, who employ careless workers and who's knives are used 16 hours a day, get bi-weekly sharpenings.
Home users, who are much more careful and use their knives a few minutes a day, can often get by with sharpening once or twice a year.
You will end up doing way more Honing, rather than sharpening.
