Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing knife I got this Chef Knife as a Christmas Gift this year and I am in love with it. The weight for me is perfect, I prefer a bit of a heft to my knifes, so if that's the case for you then I highly recommend it! The wooden handle is beautiful and each knifes handle is distinctly different on each knife. I got this knife in one of the factory stores and was able to choose a specific knife that suited my taste. I greatly recommend to go in person and find the one that calls to you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Behold! I just got my Zwilling chef "birthday knife." In a word: Behold! The construction and weight balance are exquisite. The Bolster design flows in my hand, and the steel is Germany's best. It feels I am holding Excalibur (hope I'm worthy). Spendy? Yes, but the way this baby glides through veggies and meats, along with its design, make it the last chef's knife I'll ever want. Oh, and this is the special edition. Get it now, and be amazed!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing knives I've had the Pro S series for over 25 years and they work as great as the day I bought them. This limited edition has great weight balance and cuts amazingly awesome. Can't recommend Zwilling enough.
