Great knife!
Great knife! Super sharp and I love the feel in my hand. If I had to change one thing, I wish it were full tang. The precision, balance, and durability are nice!

Gift giver to my son
The point was blunted, the edge towards the handle about a half inch of it was nicked and not sharp

My new work horse knife
I have numerous chefs knives. This has become my new go to work horse knife. I love its weight and balance. The blade shape is perfect for the rock chop which is my go to method of cutting. It was super sharp out of the box. I highly recommend it.

Warranty useless
I have to say I bought this knife previously and had such a difficult time utilizing the warranty that I had to order another one after I dropped it on the kitchen floor once and it broke into pieces. I loved the knife up until that happened so I went ahead and purchased another one after I couldn't utilize the warranty for the first one. Be careful with them but they are nice knives

The quality and feel you expect from Zwilling.
I wanted a slightly longer knife than my normal knife so I got this one. It’s beautiful like my others and is the quality I expect from Zwilling. I love that it’s sharp and feels so good in my hands. Having the right tool for the job makes food prep more enjoyable and I am looking forward to all those pineapples I am going to juice with the help of this bad boy,
