Cut my finger, horrible knife for cutting sweet potatoes. Slipped out and cut my finger sideways.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent quality and very sharp. My ease of food prep just went up a number of notches and prep time decreased with this precise slicing.

I absolutely love this knife! I may actually retire the only straight edged knife that I have ever used, the 40 year old “multi purpose” knife that I got when I worked for UAL preparing first class fruit plates in 12/1986. It’s not quite the same but when I find something that I like, it’s the only one that I use for everything except paring. Handles smoothly, comfortable grip, only very minor complaint: I wish that it had come with a sheath.

We really value good, purpose driven knives in the kitchen; this one has a nice weight to it, comfortable handle even good for smaller hands. Since receiving it I have deliberately used this to see how it feels and performs in different roles - it has been excellent overall (more comfortable than the equivalent Global - for one thing, the Zwilling back-end of the blade is flat vs the Global has the blade extending to the end). Haven't used it for long enough to evaluate sharpness retention but the other Zwilling (Santoku) knife we've had for years has been excellent.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I received this knife as a gift for ordering three times with HelloFresh, and I’m honestly blown away. It’s incredibly sharp! I didn’t realize how dull my other favorite knives were until I started using this one. It’s the perfect size for me! Great for cutting carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, and I can slice my steak fajita-style with no problem. After using it for about a month, I trust the quality of this company and will definitely be buying another one.
I would recommend this to a friend!
