The handle is stainless steel and the blade is plastic. I could be wrong but I suspect they have this backwards? :) In any case the description could be better with a bit more detail of what steel instead of this generic stainless description as well as what kind of plastic polymer is used for the handle. **Q: Is this from their Professional-S series?** A: No - The S Series are made in Germany, do not have the rivets in the handle, and cost almost 2x of the Classic Series. As others have pointed out, you still get a great knife for the price. My S knives still need to be honed and sharpened regularly. **Q: Does this knife have a full tang blade that extends through the handle? Not possible to tell from the pictures. Only visible from top of knife.** A: This knife does have a full tang blade that extends through the entire handle. An excellent knife. **Q: when it says 8 inches, is that the length of the blade itself, or is that the blade plus the handle?** A: 8 inches is the length of just the blade, handle not included in measurement ## Frequently Bought Together - HENCKELS Classic Razor-Sharp 8-inch Slicing Knife, German Engineered Informed by 100+ Years of Mastery, Stainless Steel - HENCKELS Classic Razor-Sharp 4-inch Paring Knife, German Engineered Informed by 100+ Years of Mastery, Stainless Steel - HENCKELS International Knife Sharpener, 7.7" x 8.5" x 2", Multicolor --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/1668891-classic-8-inch-chef-knife-razor-sharp-german-engineered-fully](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/1668891-classic-8-inch-chef-knife-razor-sharp-german-engineered-fully) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-07-22*
