I do prefer the molded 'no slip' grip.

i talked to a knife guy...here is what he told me. no diff. but wustoff has a strict quality control department. if the knife is inferior, it gets destroyed, melted, let's try again. henkels will sell it as a factory second. that is why you can sometimes find them at a discount store. i found one knife that was not centered in the grip. you can barely tell, but it was off. it was at a tuesday mornings. i have wustof. but if you buy henkels from a high end shop, you will find them perfectly the same. the japanese steel is amazing. they sandwich two types of steel. one cuts good, one is strong. you only sharpen it from one side. way too zen for my hacker style..i want one badly, but i know my limits. i only have the wustofs that i feel i need. no blocks sets for me.
ribs are good.
