This has been a great purchase and addition to the kitchen. It is well balanced and feels great in the hand. It has maintained it's edge nicely and remains sharp with little maintenance. Not only is it a work horse in the kitchen but its also beautiful to look at, both the blade and the handle. I can't wait until i save up some more money to add to my collection. This is my first purchase of my forever knife set.
lovely to look at, easy to hold. This ultra sharp knife makes kitchen prep work a breeze. Worthwhile having one of the Zwilling cut resistant gloves on when using.
I love this knife. As a professional chef for 28 years, I've used everything from dollar garbage knives to handcrafted wustof and this is the best knife I've ever used. It's light, fits prefect in the hand, responds deftly to every movement like a razor sharp extension of the fingers. And it's razor sharp too. I will definitely be using professional sharpening services to maintain the edge as well as regular honing and this will be my treasured personal knife for the rest of my life that no one is allowed to do more than admire from a respectful distance. The balance is perfect, and the hammered sides release food well. Easy to clean too, just take care not to shred the cloth you clean it with!
I received this knife as a wedding gift and have quickly adopted it as my main kitchen knife. It completes every task with ease including vegetable and meat prep. It feels great in the hand and balances perfectly. I highly recommend.
Outstanding knife, it’s well worth spending the extra money on a high quality knife that will last a long time. This knife is sharp, very sharp. It’s cuts effortlessly and clean. I’ve been using this for a few years and recently purchased more in different sizes.
This knife is far and away the best knife I’ve owned. After countless hours scouring the internet for different brands and knives, I’m immensely satisfied with this knife. It is not only effortlessly sharp but it is gorgeous. The Tsuchime finish is an eye-magnet and helps moderately with food sticking. The tip is indeed sharp prominent enough for most tip work.
One, final anecdote: I couldn’t find my bread knife and I was getting desperate so I used this knife to try slicing a farmer’s market sourdough loaf. To my shock, this worked better than any bread knife I’ve owned and sliced right through. I couldn’t believe it as usually, dense bread needs serration and flat edge blades fail.
