The Dutch consumer association tested chef's knives with 20 cm blades in a test arrangement very similar to that of Stiftung Warentest in Germany:

On the 10-point scale, the CHROMA, popular with michelin star chefs, was 9.6 out of 10 points. The sharpest European Wüsthof was almost 2 points behind at 7.8 on the sharpness scale.
In the kitchen knife test, renowned knives such as the Japanese Global Knife are far behind the Solingen knife with 7.6 points - almost the same as the IKEA 365+, which scored a respectable 7.4 points - just like the very expensive Robert Herder 1922. Still behind the IKEA chef's knife in this knife test is the KAI Kai Shun Classic with 6.9 points. 2018
