Such a comfortable knife to use... with that curved bolster and great balance. You just can’t go wrong, and can’t but help to fall in love with this 8” chef knife.
This is a perfect length for someone who's looking for not so small or not so big on their hand, at the same time you'll have perfect control for it's pinch grip knife. Comfortable, balanced size will quickly become the go-to knife for everyday tasks. It's the most easiest to sharpen for it's half bolster, nothing gets in the way no matter what you sharpened it either stone or machine.
This is one of my favorite knife in the kitchen. The edge is very fine (15 degrees), the curved bolster is made for a comfortable pinch grip and the weight of the knife not only decreases wrist issues but also does most of the work for you.
If you had to own one knife only, this would be it. It is one of the most durable knives I have ever owned. It handles bone work (taking apart a chicken) beautifully. It never rusts and in my house it may sit in the sink for a day, shh don't tell anyone. A great weight and that curved bolster is the best, it forces you to use the correct pinch grip.
You will love the grip, the rise at the bolster make this super easy to hold in a professional pinch grip. I love that I can use this blade fully and sharpen this blade when needed without stopping at the bolster.The heft and shape of this blade make it a perfect work horse in the kitchen. I use this knife for 80% of my work.
I love this knife. It is the epitome of the Zwilling brand. I love how the weight of the knife is perfectly balanced, and that the bolster has the perfect placement for the pinch grip hold. I love how this chef knife has an unique blade shape in that it’s curved more than traditional German knives and that way I can rock, slice and chop with this knife super easily. It feels solid and with the ice hardening and forging aspects of this knife, it’s going to last for a long time. A great knife to invest in
