ZWILLING Four Star 8-inch Razor-Sharp German Chef's Knife, Made in Company-Owned German Factory with Special Formula Steel perfected for almost 300 Years, Dishwasher Safe

This 8" chef's knife is a budget version of their top tier offerings. The savings are in the handle which is a non-riveted molded synthetic material. It is comfortable and great for medium to small hands. Zwilling did not skimp on the metal, it is a high-quality German steel. This is a quality knife! Right out of the box, I used it to prepare the vegetables for an American goulash. It slices with ease. It is razor sharp out of the box. This is a light knife while not feeing flimsy in any way. In fact, it feels solid. If you are looking for a low-cost professional quality chef knife, this will do the job. It is a renaissance for chef's tools these days. There are many good knives in this price range. I believe that this one is in that top tier.

This is a very good knife. Comfortable to hold and well balanced. Sharp. Handy for all kinds of chopping.

This knife is super sharp and definitely the best chef's knife I have purchased in this price range. For me is just the right weight. It is well worth the money.

Worth the price. I cook every day and it always stays sharp. Made in Germany It is the one you want to have if you want to invest a little more for something really good.

Quality i love. It's an A+ for your money. It doesn't rust. The size is super.very comfortable. The blade is an exact thickness for my job. Will definitely buy it again for that price. It's definitely value.

I have had a set of eight Heckles Four Star knives for over 35 years. My original set did not have a smaller chef’s knife, so I bought a Henkels sankotu to fill the gap years ago. Unfortunately, the sankotu just never seemed right. So, I finally broke down and bought this knife. I should have bought it years ago. This knife is masterful. I love the weight and balance. It holds an edge very well, and it does everything I need it to do. It’s the perfect addition to my professional kitchen tool set.

Durable and easy to sharp best in class, balancing if u put in the dishwasher I’ll kill you

Loved the knife since I purchased it 3 months ago. However, whilst I was using the knife today, end/tip just broke. I am not a professional chef so I didn't use it vigorously since the purchase, and even today I was just cutting som very basic food items such as cheese block. I have been a Zwilling fan for a very long time using their pots & pans. This was my first time purchasing a Zwilling knife though, and am very surprised a carbon blade would just break like that.Amazon customer support stated they can't do anything about it and suggested I reach out to the seller directly. Rather an expensive knife going to a trash can at this point. Hopefully Seller or Zwilling will honor the warranty, otherwise this was a waste of money.
