"The knife arrived with a scratched and blemished handle, which is not something I would consider professional for the cost of the knife. So why did I give it 5 stars? Because in the process communicating with Messer (which was a very positive experience, very quick and friendly) they gave me a full refund for the knife and told me I could keep it or give it away free of charge. This shows a level of integrity and honesty that is very rare nowerdays. I decided to keep the knife, and in use of all kitchen tasks it exceeds all expectations. The extremely fine tip is excellent for precise work and makes the blade very slicy, the balancing towards the handle makes it very manurverable, and the handle is ergonomic and comfortable. while visually looking a little scratched upon arrival, I can assure you it will function to the highest degree for anything you need a utility knife to do. I will be buying from Messermeister in the future, when I need something that I know works as it should."

Same quality as all Meridian
"Same quality as all Meridian Elite knives. The straight blade did allow my knuckles to contact the board, but it will find it's place in my set. Would love to see some belly in the blade like the 6-inch custom utility knife I also bought."
