ZWILLING FOUR STAR Chef's Knife, 20cm

I have used this model of knife for many years. Because it fits my hand perfectly. It is as sharp and durable as the other top brand knives I’ve used. Because I know this knife, I was happy to buy it online. But I would recommend anyone buying a knife at this price to go to a shop and try it out because some other knife might fit your hand better. When the knife passes the threshold of being very high quality, the comfort and fit in the hand is all that matters. So if this fits your hand and cutting style, then I recommend it for its very hard fine edge. I only use this for cutting boneless meat or sometimes veg on a wooden board. I only bought this because I moved countries and left my old one behind. My last one was fine at ten years old and daily use.

Took the plunge and opted for what is the best chefs knife I've had. Years of using lower end knife sets, this blows them straight out of the chopping board. Well balanced, the blade handle is comfortable. Paid around £45 mark when it was on offer, though I'd happily pay the retail price. Predominantly used for chopping vegetables and after a few months of use it is still as sharp as it came. Don't be fooled it will need sharpening and I've opted to get a AnySharp knife sharpener over a steel rod style one. You won't be disappointed.

Top quality knife just remember when you are unpacking, it's as sharp as a scalpel but also a great knife to have in the kitchen.

Bought to replace an older version and so far so good. Usually I buy Japanese steel but Henckels is my go to Euro steel. My old version had the tang visibly running through the whole knife so the weight felt better than this version. The handle feels a bit cheap but maybe the tang is the same. Already beginning to dull after a full weeks but that also means its easy to hone on a steel. Japanese steel sharp for longer but needs a lot of work on the whetstone. This blade feels thicker than what I'm used to but it also means it's a good all rounder. Just don't attempt to hack through bone like I did with my last one.

I only need this one knife for pretty much everything in the kitchen, I had to replace the old one after a good 15 years! Which was a Zwilling too. It lays in the hand beautifully and is balanced very well.

After years buying cheap generic chef's knives I decided to treat myself and use up some of the many vouchers I've accumulated recently; I don't regret that decision one bit. Really sharp, well made, durable, comfy in the hand. Love it! Knowing what I know now, if I had to buy it again using my own money I would in the flashiest of flashes.

Fab knife, cuts a tomato with it's own weight. I got one for my boyfriend for Xmas and haven't had to cook a meal since as he loves it so much.

Highly recommended, very sharp, easy to hold.

Very sharp and hold an edge very well

Ganska tung, ganska högt blad, ganska tjockt handtag. Allt detta är vad jag vill ha. Inte den vassaste vid leverans, men går att vässa upp bra. Jag har ett par andra kockknivar av jämförbar kvalitet och prisklass, och två som var dubbelt så dyra, och denna är den som ligger bäst i min hand. Plus för att den går att köra i diskmaskin. Minus för att den har en dum klump nederst på bladet. Det är en sak man kommer att få ägna lite extra tid åt i längden när man slipar.

Ich nutze das Messer nun seit etwa einem Monat und bin sehr zufrieden. Die Verarbeitung ist top: Das Messer liegt ausgewogen in der Hand, wirkt hochwertig und lässt sich sehr gut kontrollieren. Der Griff scheint aus Kunststoff zu sein, ist aber angenehm glatt und geht nahtlos ins Metall über. Die Schärfe ist beeindruckend. so sehr, dass ich mich beim Schneiden einmal versehentlich geschnitten habe. Fleisch, hartes Gemüse wie Süßkartoffeln oder Zwiebeln lassen sich mühelos und präzise zerteilen, und auch nach einigen Wochen ist die Klinge immer noch sehr scharf. Es macht tatsächlich Spaß, mit dem Messer zu arbeiten, da Schneiden damit spürbar leichter von der Hand geht. Natürlich ist der Preis deutlich höher als bei herkömmlichen Küchenmessern, aber die Qualität rechtfertigt das. Man sollte allerdings im Umgang vorsichtig sein, da die Klinge wirklich sehr scharf ist. Ich werde nach einigen Monaten ein Update geben, um zu berichten, wie sich das Messer langfristig schlägt. Fazit: Hochwertig verarbeitet, sehr scharf, liegt gut in der Hand. ein Messer, das Freude beim Kochen macht.

Stupendo, sono uno Chef e posso dirvi che è il coltello più affidabile che abbia mai usato

I bought this knife for a present for my daughter in law for Xmas. By the photo I thought it was an 8 inch knife but it turned out the blade was 8 inches so it turned out to be a huge knife. We both thought it was a hoot but loved it.
