Same apparent look as my other 4 Star knives. Very Sharp! Thin blade compared to some less expensive Santoku knives I have used and far lighter than my 8" 4 Star Chef's Knife. Where tang meets handle also feels less sturdy. Time and use may change my opinion, but it feels like Zwilling has cheaped-out on "4 Star" quality over the years. "Hanckels" and "Soligen Steel" no longer appears on the blade either!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Interesting knife. The handle feels a little light compared to the other knives I have. Bought the 7” to go with my zwilling 5 star knife block I have.
