What is the weight of this knife in grams?

Just weighed mine. Goes in at 173 grams.Hope this helps. Great knife

Will I receive the old model as pictured or the new model post 2020 logo change?

I don’t know if it’s me, mine was looks like not wusthof at all. Very different to what i bought from online retailer.

Can this knife be sharpened with the normal Wustoff knife sharpener or does it need to be sharpened with a whetstone?

There is a difference between " sharpen" and " honed". Each time you use the knife you should hone it on a steel ie the Wursthof. It keeps the blade in line and true and makes very light work of cutting. It will eventually get blunted and then needs sharpening. A tricky process look on YouTube. Would recommend getting a professional job about £7 per knife. Hope this helps

I have purchased expensive knives in the past that have rusted very quickly, I know that this is a trusted brand but is this knife reliable?

Mine shows no sign of rusting. I always rinse the blade in very hot to boiling water and dry quickly with a cloth and leave out - still very warm - to air dry before hanging back on the magnetic strip holder. This is how i treat all my knives and never have a rust problem. I don't use knife blocks.
