It is a very sharp knife. Must use with care.
I am very pleased with it. It is pricey. I hope it last a lifetime.

after reading reviews of this knife and others, my husband came to the conclusion that this knife would be the best christmas present for me. and it was for about 5 days. it cut wonderfully and felt perfect in my hand. after i was washing the knife off after cutting an onion, i noticed a crack in the blade!! so i sent it back for another one, and that one was defective. the divits that are on the sides of the blades (to keep food from sticking to the knife) were off centered and went off the blade’s edge instead of running above it. so i sent that back for another one. then amazon said lots of other people were having problems, too, so they did not have any more in stock. i gave up then. i am using my refund money towards a trip to california….

I have purchased Henckels knives in the past and have always been pleased. This knife is different. The edge was poorly honed and had a tremendous burr which required considerable stone work to polish off. The edge itself seems to have a indented section and the bolster is poorly fashioned. Perhaps I have purchased a poor knife out of an otherwise perfect lot but at these prices I expect more.

I received this knife just a few days ago by accident and was told to keep it. I am extrememly happy for the mess up. I love this knife, it is extremely sharp and makes cutting large quantities of food a dream. It is also well balanced and the handle fits my hand rather nicely. My husband loves the way the knife just “sings” as it is being pulled out of the block. The stainless steel is a very high quality.

We got this knife as a part of a large set to replace our Henckels TwinStar set that got dull to the point of being unusable and could not be honed. After a little more than a month of light use the blade cracked! Mind you, we’ve life-long owners of fine quality knives, they’re carefully hand-washed and dried immediately, so there’s no abuse on our part. Of course since it was purchased a little over a month ago Amazon won’t take it back for exchange, so we’re stuck dealing with the manufacturer and paying money to ship it back for “inspection” before they even consider getting it replaced. What a joke. I expected better from Henckels, I guess i’ll be going with Shun for the next set.
