Ratings & Reviews for Zwilling Chef Knife

great prep knife

I really like this knife. I recently added it to my Kaizen collection. It fits the space between my pairing knife and Chefs knife and Santoku. The blade size is the perfect size for working in hand or on the cutting board. The D shaped handle is very comfortable in my hand. The "super steel" blade is very sharp. The Damascus style layering adds a beautiful aesthetic to an already great knife. I love the tradition and artistry put into this knife from the micarta handle all the way through the Ka...

The Miyabi Kaizen 5.5-inch utility prep knife is an extremely popular knife. It is much beloved for the variety of precise cutting that it can do. It's razor sharpness makes every stroke efficient. The 64 layers of molten steel, applied over the VG10 steel core, hold a tight edge. The blade is both hard and light at the same time, making it glide through both delicate and hearty foods beautifully. Adding to the enjoyment of this phenomenal cutting tool is its beauty. The Damascus-style polis...

Long-lasting Favorite..

With VG10 carbide steel core and 60 additional wraps for extra stability and sharpness, this Japanese prep knife is a lifetime knife...add to it the tough micarta handle and ample knuckle clearance, you'll like this one.

Great little knife

I use this knife for everything that is too small for my chef's knife, like peeling garlic or slicing strawberries. I love that it has knuckle clearance so that I don't hit my hand on the cutting board while I'm chopping. The blade is beautiful and the handle is very comfortable to use.

Great for everything you need to cut

This is one of the most beautiful knives I've ever seen and it is so sharp that I can get through everything I throw at it. I love the design on the blade and the handle is very comfortable to use.

Balance and Control in a Larger Chefs Knife

Forged, Japanese carbide steel...VG10...wrapped 50 times for unique look and further stability. Micarta handle looks like wood but tougher!

Prep knife

The prep knife is my new go to in the kitchen. So versatile and easy to use. The Miyabi Kaisen collection is well sorth looking into, comfortable, great steel, and a lovely damasscus covering on the blade.

Beautiful prep knife made from quality steel and a beautiful Damascus design. This prep knife will make prepping so much easier as the blade is scalpel-like sharp.

perfection!

I am in love, this knife feels so elegant and cuts like a dream. The steel that they use in this knife is so strong, my husband works around metal and was so impressed that it could be used in such a beautiful fashion. The handle is smooth, sits back the perfect amount from the blade edge and the Damascus jacket protecting the hard center steel is so rich looking! A knife to cherish for a lifetime!

This prep knife is so easy to use. It's made from VG10 steel and is protected by a 64-layer Damascus pattern. The blade has been ice hardened and are razor sharp. Great knife for quick jobs in the kitchen.

I love having the option of the 9.5 inch. I was so happy when I was able to make the choice at home whether I wanted an 8 inch or 9.5 inch chef knife for the job. I did not realize how much I would use it.

I love using a prep knife instead of pulling out my larger chef's knife when using fewer ingredients while preparing a smaller meal. With smaller piles of vegetables you don't need the same reach but you want the same sharpness. It's also a go-to for sandwich making and cheese slicing. The Kaizen series are gorgeous Japanese knives that have a core made from GV10 super steel that retains the sharp edge use after use.

A superb knife from the Miyabi Kaizen line - my fav go-to prep knife as it does about every task in the kitchen. Super sharp and stays sharp and resilient. Cryodur ice-hardened to maintain the blade and its sharpness. The Damascus pattern gives it aesthetic beauty. A must-own knife if you are spending a lot of time in the kitchen!

A prep knife is such an awesome shape and size! It's perfect for chopping smaller fruits and vegetables but also can handle meats and cheeses. The Damascus design is beautiful! The knife has has that incredibly sharp asian edge angle and has a core of VG10 steel which is very hard and will give you incredible edge retention. The handle is authentic to Japanese heritage also, with its D shape design. It is extremely comfortable in your hand and is made of micarta which is a linen and ...

You will never be disappointed with a Miyabi Kaizen! This 9.5" Chef can do most any task - meats, veggies, fruits w/ hard rinds. The thin Japanese blade made with German steel and done in the 64-layer Damascus pattern is a delight to look at and use! The black Micarta handle feels good and gives a super grip with no slip!

This knife is the perfect size for smaller jobs. It’s made out VG10 steel which provides a razor sharp blade that cuts with ease and stays sharp with weekly honing.

I love this knife the handle is nice and feels great to hold, it cuts thru meat and is great for cutting vegatables.

I saw this beautiful knife on a cooking show. It cut everything with no problem. I ordered it the next day and I’m so happy I did!

Miyabi Kaizen 8" Chef's Knife is superior to any other I have seen on the Market. The Damascus Flower Design add to the beauty of this fantastic knife.
