I love Zwilling Knives. I have the Professional S series and love them. This Four Star knife was received as a promotion through Hello Fresh. I gave this knife to my Grandson, who is in the culinary program at his high school. He said that he likes it. Now he can leave my knives alone.
Blade not finished during manufacturing process. The edge was never ground fully.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A chefs style knife wasn't my favorite but when I opened the box I though wow this knife is beautiful. When I picked it up the handle felt good in my hand and well balanced. I decided I would use it to prep my supper. I diced carrots onions potatoes chicken breasts and sharp oh yes. I now have a new favorite go to knife.
