Nice knife, thin blade

Overall nice knife, the negative is the blade is much thinner than expected

Disappointing

The blade is fine. A bit thin for my liking, but I like the size and knuckle clearance. The handle is way too small. I have small to medium sized hands, and it feels like I have very little blade control at times. Very unstable without a firm grip on the blade itself. Overall it’s somewhat of a disappointment. I wish I hadn’t ordered it.

I'm thrilled!

Just received this and had to try it immediately. What a delight! It is perfect when the traditional size is too large. The quality is A+ as usual. I'm thrilled. Thank you Zwilling.

Great knifes!

I loved this knife had it for 15- yrs. till I accidentally, I’m guessing, threw it in the trash. I already bought two more, as I have the butcher block full I got yrs. Ago. Best knife’s ever! The two I just bought are great but I know I will miss the one I accidentally threw away. It’s at a great sale price but then you ad shipping etc.charges and I can’t afford anymore. Would love to buy them but kinda high for me. Ty

5.5in 4Star Prep Knife

When a 7in or 8in chef knife is too much for the job this gets it done! Great all arounder, showed up super sharp and quality build. Strongly suggest for any who might think a chef's knife is a bit unweildly.
