Review Title: Handle isn't textured.
Customer Rating: 3 out of 5 stars (Average)
Reviewer Name: Eddie (Verified Purchase)
Review Date: 2025-10-24
Customer Feedback:
Grip. Was under the impression the grip was textured. It's not smooth with printed design. Not a deal breaker but I would have went with different knife if I knew beforehand. Blade is nice and light don't know if I would use this to cut butter squash like I do with my wusthof ikon. But in all solid entry level German knife. If you want to save a few bucks victorinox is on the same level and the fibrox handle is textured. Maybe they will release more custom handles for this line up. Hopefully.

Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 stars (Excellent)
Reviewer Name: Kimberly K. (Verified Purchase)
Review Date: 2025-04-10
Customer Feedback:
My husband loves his new Chef knife. I do wish you had additional engraving styles as the name is rather understated on the knife. The knife sheath was ripped at the bottom upon arrival, so the presentation was a bit flawed!
