Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Signature Chinese Chef Knife, Santoku Knife 7 Inch,Stainless Steel, Black

I grew up in Lennep, about 30 minutes from Solingen, and bought my first knives at the actual factory. By now I have the full series of Professional S. This knife was purchased as a Christmas gift to my stepdaughter and should last a lifetime, as my knives do. Just have them professionally sharpened evey year or so.No other knives will do.

This is my second one of these after my kid destroyed the handle after 15+ years. Comes very sharp, fits my hand and can handle dang near any job.

Cuts and holds and edge !

Best kitchen knives I have ever had. They are very very sharp and this one is great for cutting vegetables.

I have a Wustof Trident knife. I saw somewhere that the Zwilling brand is basically from the same manufacturer and has all the same features (full tang, non-slip handle, etc.) - I buy the Santoku type knife - I have both the 7" and the 5" and honestly, the 5" is way better. Easy to handle, great for everything - I really don't even use the 7". Anyway, learning that they are both from the same company and the Zwilling being significantly less expensive than the Wustof Trident, I bought the Zwilling for my dad who loves to cook but had a drawer full of horrible knives. He LOVES it - I'm so glad I purchased it for him. Now, my son, who is 33 years old and finally cooking for himself, has asked for a knife from Christmas. The same day he asked for it, I purchased the Zwilling again. I can't wait until Christmas so I can give it to him. He's going to be amazed at what a sharp knife can contribute to the meal prep. He's getting a big-boy knife for his new adulting!

The blade is slightly bent. You can't even really notice it until you start sharpening.

I just moved and it will take 3 weeks for my stuff to arrive. I ordered this because I wouldn't want to be without it for that long.

Already have a matching set of these knives. They are well balanced and remain sharp through a lot of cooking. This was a perfect addition. Wanted this for cutting vegetables and it doesn’t disappoint.
