Great Knives

"Perfect knives for my high school students. I like the feel of the 8 inch chef knife. It's well balanced and easy to use. My students love this knife, too."

SLICE Chef Winner Knives

"The service of this company is the best there can be. After filling out the order form wrong my order got delayed and the engraving was not going to make it in time for our office holiday cook-off event. The knives were the prizes. The Messer team got on it and pulled all stops to make our deadline just a few days later! The knives were larger than expected and very sharp! Hats off to the team! Thank you for making our event special! We definitely recommend! Slice Wireless Solutions"

New Favorite

"I recently bought a few different Pro Series knives to experience the different styles. I also own the Meridian Elite 8" Chef's Knife. While the Meridian is an absolute "must have," and I love it dearly, this Pro Series 6" Chef's knife is my new go-to 90% of the time. It's lighter, the blade is thinner, and it performs really well cooking portions for two people. Cutting up a whole onion for instance is fine with this 6" knife, but I would prefer my Meridian 8" for that task, as it's light weight and agility starts to work against it. If you're into lighter knives for agility around smaller portions, I highly recommend the Messermeister Petite Messer 5” Chef’s Knife as well. As for the 4-star rating...while the 6" knife arrived plenty sharp, it could not pass the paper test. I still recommend it and I did sharpen it."

I have had very good

"I have had very good luck with several Messermeister knives, including a number from the Pro Series. I was impressed with the quality and value of an earlier order and was intrigued with the "wide"chef series. At this point I have a month or so with the 8 inch and find myself reaching for it from my knife block most of the time. The handle is very comfortable and provides a secure grip that also allows excellent control. To me the blade shape is reminiscent of Bob Kramer's knives. The Pro Series has good steel that is easy to sharpen, takes a razor edge and holds it well. And did I mention the price? These knives are very attractively priced and well worth it, in my opinion."
