Would RecommendA big improvement over the knife it is replacing… I got my original chef’s knife nearly 30 years ago as a wedding gift and it had been sharpened so many times that the hilt was lower than the blade. This knife is a perfect replacement since the hilt doesn’t go all the way to the edge of the knife. I suspect this one will last even longer!

Disappointed with quality
Would Not RecommendI’ve had Zwilling knives for years and was shocked to see how the quality has dropped. This knife is supposed to be one of their higher end offerings. It needed sharpening immediately on arrival and had some obvious machining defects on the edge. The package was beat up which made it seem cheap. The bevel on the handle seems to be a bit sharper than the other knives I have from this same line. I kind of regret choosing the brand I know over others in the same price range.

Handle design and weight is unmatched
Would RecommendI've owned a couple high-end Japanese knives over the past few years, and switching over to this German knife has been a game changer! The thicker handle and heavier tang makes helps me have more control over the blade. It also makes the blade feel so much lighter than it should be. I don't foresee myself buying a different series of knife for a very long time.

Great knife. Good hefty.
Would RecommendExcellent blade. Good hefty weight. The large belly might take a little while to adjust to if you are used to a more typical chef's knife profile.

A Workhorse
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bolster design allows for a perfect pinch grip. The 8 inch variation of this knife has a really nice balance, and allows for very agile movement, but has enough weight to get through large vegetables. The knife comes so sharp you can't even tell your cutting something. It is also very easy to maintain.

Wonderful
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Knife was razor sharp right out of the box, feels great in the hand and looks great. The handle is sturdy and solid but not heavy, balances the blade well. Grip is comfortable and the blade is nimble, good all around knife.
