This knife has the blade you would expect from Zwilliing. But, the handle is sadly lacking. It's far to thin to grasp firmly and to hold comfortably. I would not buy it again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This knife is amazing. Well packaged. Came on time. Sharp right out of the box. My wife is in love with it. It’s light and nicely balanced. She rolls through dinner prep. I run it across my steel about every four days. We hand wash only.
Thank you love the knife and balance most the thin blade and single bevel from the edge to the spine. I've been buying swilling and wusthof from the 70s, i bought a wusthof too but it had a secondary apex bevel thinner blade which despite thinner didn't cut as well.
This is the second one we purchased. The first one is so well made and performs so well that we decided to get a second one to share with our family. We would definitely recommend this handy knife to everyone.
