Solid knife upgrade
"Great weight, awesome upgrade in the kitchen"
I am absolutely in love!
"I am absolutely in love! They handle so well. I’ve received many compliments on the knives themselves and the custom G I got on mine. I think the customization of the knives was priced fairly as well. Only thing I would have wished for would be to have sheaths for my knives. I assumed they would come with sheaths but they only came with plastic ones for packaging purposes. I would’ve even payed extra for sheaths if given the option."
What i like about the
"What i like about the Meridian Chefs knife is how it feel in your hands. The knife is very comfortable, the handle is great, you can get a good grip on the knife. The look is also very beautiful, the knife is very unique. The only complain is that the knife is not very sharp out of the box ! The knife is dull in the middle of the blade. I needed to give it a small pass thru a sharpening stone just to get it sharp enough to cut thru a tomato without squishing the tomato. Dont know if it was just the knife i got, but the company needs to look into the quality control before it is ship to the customer! But, i will definitely recommend this knife to anybody looking for an awesome knife. In my opinion, is the best german knife out of the “Big three” of the german knife makers."

These knives are really outstanding
"These knives are really outstanding and the price is very competitive with other sites."
Pairing knife is great. I
"Pairing knife is great. I had a major issue with cheap packaging causing damage to the product during shipping. The knives are very good but the chef knife was not as sharp as I expected. Slicing tomatoes was not as easy and as clean as one would expect from a $100+ knife."
As good as the Wustofs
"As good as the Wustofs I used to use. More comfortable handle/bolster than Le Cordon Bleu series."
