  • Very sharp and nice, but not recommended.
I bought this knife yesterday for $99, and today, I attempted to give this knife a chance, given that I had tried it at Sur La Table before and appreciated the weight of this knife before I decided to buy it on Amazon (had gift card balance), but it unfortunately did not work out for me. First off, I like my kitchen knives. Even though I am not a professional chef, but I have worked in a professional restaurant kitchen and I have a custom-built set of knives, including Shun, Global, Wusthof, and Miyabi. Most of my knives (I have 14 in total) are Shun knives, and my favorite is actually their 8 inch Kiritsuke knife. If you haven't noticed yet, my list of knives that I carry around in my knife roll (10 out of my 14 knifes) does not include a single Zwilling/Henckels knife. The reason for this is, I honestly do not think the quality of Zwilling is that great when compared to the other brands. And before technical people can call me out, I am fully aware that Zwilling produces Miyabi knives, but that is not the point of this review (Miyabi knives are pretty nice). Let's begin with the pros: 1. I like the weight of this knife. Its sturdy and heavy, and the balance is very nice when holding the knife in my hand. 2. The angle of the knife. I like this one over the 8" chef's knife that they sell for $139 now. This traditional chef's knife is slightly less curved and more straight bladed, and it works very 'traditionally'. 3. It has that traditional German knife feel w/ a curved half-bolster (which I didn't expect to like as much as I did, given I use the Wusthof Classic for all of my German knives). This allows for easier sharpening, which is always a plus. 4. The steel used is not too hard, at a Rockwell hardness scale of 57, which also makes it easy to sharpen. 5. Price! A decent price for a knife of this caliber. And now for the cons: 1. As previously mentioned, the steel used is not as hard as that in my other knifes. My Japanese knives go up to a Rockwell hardness of 63, and my Wusthof Classics have a Rockwell hardness of 58. This puts Zwilling at the lowest, at 57, which makes them not keep an edge as well. When I opened the box and tried slicing a piece of paper, it went through easily. After I cut with it for an entire day (one 10 lb bag of onions, one 10 lb bag of potatoes, 3 lbs of meat (beef), and one whole chicken), it no longer passed the paper slicing test. Sure, it did better than my Wusthofs, which have not been sharpened in a while, but it's still quite disappointing. 2. Food residue seems to stick easily to this knife near the blade. After a day of prep, washing it in warm water with soap and a soft (delicate) sponge did not seem to fully remove the residue. This poses a major problem, because if using a non-delicate sponge, the blade would be scratched more so than if using a delicate sponge. In the end, I was able to remove the residue; however, it seemed much more tedious to remove than removing food residue on my Wusthof knives. Even though I have more pros than cons, given that this knife is not a "bad" knife, it's not the one for me. I personally believe you can find a better knife at this price point. In the end, after a day of testing, I would prefer the 8 inch Wusthof Classic over this knife (if looking strictly at German knives). ... show more

  • It's Sharp
Size: 8"
The the manufacturer packaging my knife arrived in was damaged, like it was dropped on it's end and squished a bit. I was nervous that the tip may be broken or some other damage to the blade, but luckily I did not discover any damage. The knife feels really nice in my hand and I like the angled, rounded half-bolster. It is very comfortable. With the full tang, the blade feels really light and I'm able to wield it very precisely and quickly. It is very sharp out of the package and I just ran it over a steel a few times before using. I also like that the bolster does not interfere with the blade like my other chef knives. The only problem I have is that my wife won't let me display it on the magnetic holder with my other knives. I have the Henkels/Zwilling 4-star collection, and this knife doesn't match...so I had to fashion a sheath and put it a drawer. Probably better off so no one else uses it. Do they make sheaths for these knives? I will have to research that. Anyway, this is a really nice chef knife, and I would recommend it to anyone in the market for a decent chef knife. ... show more

  • Love it
Size: 8"
We shopped around for a long time and compared a bunch of knife block packages. We even got taken in by the Cutco high-pressure sales guy at a show but thank goodness we returned the $2000 set in time for a full refund - whew. After much thought about what we have and what we 'need' in a knife set, we decided to buy a high quality chef knife and build from there. This is what the experts online recommend and so far we are very happy with that strategy. It's been months now and the additional $1900 we saved by not buying the huge Cutco package is relieving. This knife does almost everything you need in the kitchen and is obviously going to last the rest of our lives... ... show more

  • Great knife - don’t buy it here
Size: 8"
Amazon told me its rules prohibit stating that the vendor sent a cheaper, incorrect item. I have since purchased the correct item outside the Amazon family, and the product that I tried unsuccessfully to obtain via the Amazon site is terrific.

  • Satisfied with purchase
Size: 8"
This knife is a work horse. Easy to sharpen, but holds it edge pretty good. The price is spot on. I work at a mid level catering company and this knife fits the job well.

  • Not Japanese steel, but close
Size: 8"
Good knife, although I think buying a Henckels one knife at a time is a pretty stupid thing to do, and I did it. Always buy a set even if you throw away the block. These are very good, but I have some Japanese knives that are far superior and cost only a little more, so I’m giving this away.

  • It made a great gift.
Size: 8"
It is a perfect weight, extremely sharp, a necessity in the kitchen. I gave two of them as gifts. One person said it is as if they never had a knife before!
