This Zwilling Gourmet 7" Chinese Chef's knife has an extremely comfortable grip, and makes chopping large quantities of vegetables and herbs very easy. The blade is sharp enough to cut vegetables effortlessly, and is durable enough to cut through chicken and beef bones. I use this knife everyday, and it really holds an edge requiring minimal maintenance. Dishwasher safe, and life time warranty against manufacturer defects. Zwilling is a name you can trust and they definitely make a superior product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shape and handle! My only issue is that it's not quite as sharp out of the box as my forged knives.
A all around good cleaver. The German made German stainless blade is very sharp and easy to maintain. The weight is perfect for cutting through the densest of foods . I really like the Zwilling logo in the handle. A quality product from a quality customer.
This cleaver can get through the biggest melons and cabbage heads that you can imagine. The blade is made from German Special Formula Steel, also forged from one piece of stamped steel so super durable. This knife is razor sharp, as are all Gourmet knives, and I really enjoy working with it.
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 7-inch Chinese chef’s knife is a terrific vegetable cleaver. Heavy enough to get everything done, but not so heavy its strains. The straight-edge of the blade cuts through big and small foods with ease. Dishwasher safe, but hand wash for to keep it looking new.
I use this cleaver almost ever day and love the balance and weight of it in my hand. It is not too heavy, which for me, makes it easier to work with for extended periods of time. I much prefer a cleaver for cutting vegetables and this one is made in Germany with German steel. Super quality and will be around in my kitchen for years to come.
