Customer Feedback:
I really love this knife. I wanted a top quality chefs knife and this is it. It was a bonus that in comes in different sizes as I prefer the 6 inch which seems harder to find. It’s so well balanced and the handle feels great.

Review Title: Substantial chef’s knife
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 stars (Excellent)
Reviewer Name: Kenneth S. (Verified Purchase)
Review Date: 2023-12-11
Customer Feedback:
This knife is hefty, but not overly heavy. Nicely balanced. Great handle. Exceptionally sharp (as are my other Messermeisters). The lack of a bolster all the way down to the heel of the blade is a real plus for tip to heel sharpening & steeling.
