TWIN Signature 8-inch German Chef Knife, Kitchen Knife, Stainless Steel Knife, Black

Love It - Highly recommend!

This new knife is great! It feels solid, is well balanced, cuts like butter and is easy to wash. I've only had it a few weeks so far, but we're using the heck out of it. Our old knife was quite old, and wasn't that good to begin with. I feel like this knife is a significant upgrade. There are better knives, but they are significantly more expensive. I feel like this is a really good knife for a great price.

Love how sharp and adorable it is. You do not feel it in your hand since it is soooooo smoth

I bought this knife for my spouse knowing that it wasn’t on her wish list (but I got that as well ;-). She really hates spending money unnecessarily. With a drawer full of cheap knives, why would she want another? But I’ve seen her struggle cutting through different kinds of meats and veggies and knew she needed a high quality knife that would keep its edge longer than a week. She has now been using this knife for meals throughout the holidays. It’s her ‘go to’ blade even with a short learning curve to get used to the weight and larger handle. I also bought the sharpener as well but have not needed to use it after a couple weeks of constant use. I have used it on some of our older knives. It’s a joy not seeing her struggle while preparing our meals.

I'm a home chef. I have used very expensive knives before (Cutco knives), so I have a good basis for comparison. I purchased a Santoku knife from Imarku and wanted a chef knife that was a bit better quality. This knife is thicker metal, with a more ergonomic handle. It's clearly a better construction. However, despite being twice the price, it isn't as sharp as my other knife. That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I didn't return it and still use it. But was a little disappointed in the sharpness. Overall: it's a high-quality knife that will likely last a long time, but I will have to sharpen it.

Very sharp

I bought this as a Wedding Shower gift for my best friend's fiance. Because when I visit them and I want to cook dinner, selfishly, I was sick of using their $9 "Target Special" of a knife. So I was actually the first one to use this. It made short order of broccoli, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and both raw and frozen chicken breasts. It melts through most chopable foods with minimal effort and has a sturdy ergonomic feel in your hand. To compensate for materials, often times manufacturers will make the blade inordinately thin - this is not the case with this knife. I also visited them 6 months later and without a single sharpening the blade had maintained an impressive sharpness and repeated it's ease of chopping/dicing/mincing. Haven't seen a better knife at the $50 price point.

I always read the negative reviews first to get an idea of the drawbacks I would be possibly dealing with from the experiences of others, however, there weren't enough negative reasons to not get this knife. I was already aware of the respected brand and quality of Zwilling Henckels cutlery and the positive reviews just stood out. No doubt about it now and I hope for everyone else who may be reading this review. On the first day of receiving this knife, the first use of the knife was a test to see if it would cut paper... went right through a sheet standard copy paper like a surgical knife. Next use was to fillet a raw cut of rib eye steak meat.. It sliced off, I truly mean it ! it sliced off a flap if skin from my Mother's finger and it took two weeks to heal. This knife is truly sharp and feels comfortable in the hand. The handle may look un-ergonomic, but it feels nice and can be held numerous ways and feel firm. The weight is perfect for the size of the blade and is well constructed. A truly good buy for a awesome price. Have some bandages ready...

Love this knife brand.

Excelente cuchillo, se nota su buena manufactura y calidad en los materiales. Corta muy bien, bastante equilibrado para un corte perfecto.

Top notch. Great knife!

Very nice item.

Nice sharp sturdy blade. Should have come with a plastic sleeve for the blade. Especially for that price.
