Ratings & Reviews for Zwilling Four Star 5.5inch Prep Knife

Disappointed

The blade is very thin and makes me think this a cheap copy of the excellent 4 Star set I currently own. Everytime I open the knife drawer and look at it I think, "How cheap Zwilling has gotten."

A little light

Have used 4 star knives for more that 40 years and my originals are still doing fine I thought that this would be a good addition to the seti am used to working with a 10 inch chefs knife so this feels very light and the handle is the same size as a paring knife so is difficult for me to hold. It is a very pretty knife and sharp as a razor so I am not disappointed in the purchase and I suppose I might eventually get used to it

Perfect knife for a small handed person

I use this knife all the time I have small hands and it fits me perfectly. I put up all my vegetables for cooking with it.

Just right

I opened the box and my first thought was "I should've bought two." This seems like the perfect in between knife: about as long as a small chef knife but a more versatile shape with good weight and balance. I like the curve and point at the tip for precise cuts like destemming a tomato. The blade appears to be very sharp and based on my other four star knives, I know it will have the durability to last.

Ergonomics and sharpness

The ease of handling this knife. The sharpness is wonderful for cutting through fruits and vegetables. This is a great brand.

Perfect Size

Perfect size for food prep when 8” or 10” chef’s knife is bigger than needed.

Great addition

Great size. We needed this knife to add to our other Zwilling knife set

Lacks the look and feel of the others knives

I have many of the other knives from the four star series but this one doesn’t feel as substantial as the other original ones. It’s too thin and lacks the gravitas of the others. The look and feel seem lacking the weight and comfort of the others. I’m disappointed.

Nice Knife

Sharp, precise and perfect size. Makes prep a breeze.

Sharp, nice for small to mid size jobs

This knife is very sharp and nice to use on smaller things like mushrooms, strawberries, and smaller tomatoes. I like the fact that it keeps my knuckles off the cutting board unlike a paring knife. The only negative thing I have to say is that the handle feels a little cheap.

Good knife but not the quality I was expecting

It is a very sharp knife ! Only thing I do not appreciate is that the plastic handler is so cheap and light

Small and delicate

It is small and delicate. I will be returning it. It was not what I expected.
