Perfectly Honed, Nice Hand Feel
on May 14, 2021

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great ergonomic feel in the hand. Slices effortlessly with precision. What I really love about this knife is the balance of weight from the base to the tip of the blade.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am not a novice cook. But with my new Zwilling knives, my 8” chef (and my steak knives) I feel like I am starting all over again …..And in joy. Using this chef’s knife for prep of meats, fish and especially vegetables is so much easier. I have been preparing meals with an emphasis on vegetables for decades and this knife makes slicing and dicing a breeze, with the width of the rounded blade (which allows me to practice that ultra-fast chop one sees on cooking shows), I can move the cut-up veggies to the pan or pot quite efficiently. It handles massive carrots as easily as halving grape tomatoes . My only complaint about these products? That I didn’t know about them years and years ago……

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first actual knife after living or a cheaper knife set for years. Definitely recommend it as a starter knife!

Very good chef's knife. Great for everyday use.

The Gourmet line is a very good line of stamped knives. They are manufactured under tight controls and precise standards at Zwilling’s factory in Solingen, Germany. They have a full tang, running from the tip to the heel of the handle making these knives sturdy and stable. The comfortable handle is solid without being heavy.
Because the composition of the steel, these knives will stay sharp and responsive with every cut. Keep the blades honed, sharpen once or twice a year and you will enjoy them each time you use them. This 8-chef’s knife, considered the mainstay of many chefs’, line cooks’ and busy households’ kitchens will do almost all the cutting work needed to prepare any meal. Dishwasher safe, but hand wash for to keep it looking new.
The chef's knife comes in 6- and 10-inch lengths. I find the 6-inch an excellent size for chopping vegetables and cubing meat. The 10-inch is equally useful for larger scale prepping, melons in particular. Lots of average height people like the longer knife, but the 8-inch is still my go to.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Mixed feelings inconsistent quality

I own two different sets of J. A. Henkels cutlery. The knives in this model/series; Henkels 13860_160 handle well and sharpen easily to a razor edge.
However...
The knives in this model/series; Henkels 17541_200, handle well but don' sharpen well. Try as I might, I can not get these knives to consistently sharpen or hold an edge. I'm not sure how I feel about this brand.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This knife is ideal for those looking for a budget friendly option. High-quality, German craftsmanship shines through with this lightweight, stamped Chef's knife. The strong, durable steel makes prep work fun and easy and the handle is really comfortable.
