[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this knife as an anniversary gift over a decade ago and it has been my favorite knife. When the handle cracked the lifetime warranty kicked in and now I have a new knife. I couldn’t be happier with the knife or the company. Fantastic product and customer service.
My friend's husband, who is a professional chef, recommended this knife when we were out shopping together. He said I could use this knife for just about everything, and he was right. The serrated knives are great for slicing onion, tomatoes, melons, lemons and limes. Never have to worry about sharpening because of the serrations, and because of this knife I never have to worry about having to use a dull knife. Great option for someone who doesn't want to purchase a lot of different knives. This one gets the job done.
This knife is a great compliment to a pairing knife. The serrated blade is perfect for anything with tougher outside and a softer inside like tomatoes and citrus. The German forged steel and construction give a very sharp strong blade. The full bolster and traditional three rivet handle make it a true classic.
I purchased this as a replacement to the serrated knife that was part of a set many years ago. My old knife was dull and as far as I know a serrated knife cannot be sharpened. I was glad to be able to find the exact match to my set. The new knife arrived and it is the same quality as the original (I weighed them both and the new one has the same heavy handle as the old.) Very satisfied.
I really like this knife for those little quick tasks. It's always sharp and ready to slice tomatoes or peppers, a crusty baguette or a sandwich.
Professional S is terrific line of knives. They feature a traditional straight bolster and a slightly smaller handle. As a result they are a little lighter than the new Pro line. I have owned one of these knives for years (more than 10). It has performed year in and year out, and I cook a lot. I sharpen it maybe twice a year, hand wash it and it looks like I never use it.
