ZWILLINGJ.A. Henckels Twin Signature Chinese Chef Knife, Santoku Knife 7 Inch,Stainless Steel, Black

Gave this as a gift. Recipient loves it. High quality steel and ergonomic handle. Excellent balance. Very sharp. Handle reduces at the thumb and first finger pinch-point, to allow thumb and index finger to sit more comfortably, and allow a side-to-side type cut. (Vs. front-to-back.) Has good clearance for the hand/knuckles as a good chef’s knife should. (A Man’s hand : large/x-large.) Goes through meat, vegetables, you name it, VERY smoothly. A joy to use and a very good price. Most used knife in my friend’s Zwilling collection now. Also: 7" is the BLADE length. Add about 9.6" more for the OVERALL length.

I got it for my hubby for father's day. He absolutely loves it. It's a great knife for the price.

This is my second one of these after my kid destroyed the handle after 15+ years. Comes very sharp, fits my hand and can handle dang near any job.

Already have a matching set of these knives. They are well balanced and remain sharp through a lot of cooking. This was a perfect addition. Wanted this for cutting vegetables and it doesn’t disappoint.

Best kitchen knives I have ever had. They are very very sharp and this one is great for cutting vegetables.

The knife is sturdy and the cutting edge was sharp - up to a point. I cleaned the blade before using it for the first time using soap and water; so far so good. Then I cut a pork loin into steaks on a plastic cutting surface and then I noticed that there was a burr about 1" - 1 1/2" at the tip of the knife. Stopping the edge wouldn't remove the burr so I used a diamond sharpening stone, followed by a leather strop, to clean up the edge. I have emailed the seller just to let them know that their QC needs to be improved but I will keep using the knife as it is a sturdy and well-made piece of cutlery.

Really pleased with this knife. It feels good in my hand and is balanced and sharp. Very good price too.

It’s a good knife that meet all you need!
