ZylissComfort Pro Chef Knife, 20cm/8in, Sharp Forged German Stainless Steel, Antibacterial Black Handle with Finger Rest, Professional Kitchen Knife/Vegetable Knife, Dishwasher Safe

Very sharp and well balanced knife and excellent quality.

I like this knife a lot. It’s one of my two favourite knife types (chef’s knives and santoku knives), and is one of the nicer chef’s knives I own. The handle is weighty and has a nicely shaped grip around a metal core. The blade is beautifully sharp with a good amount of curvature to it, so it rocks well when chopping. There’s an indent at the start of the spine to position your forefinger, though I’m not sure what function (if any) is served by curvature to the top of the spine towards the tip end of the knife. I find this really well-balanced, and easy to use. Second amongst those I own only to my Global knives. Equally good for prepping vegetables, meat, and fish. At the price point (mid-range) it’s a more than decent knife.The one thing I didn’t like about this knife was the packaging. This was overpackaged, in materials where a lot of unnecessary plastic had been used. The knife came in a box, but this had a magnetic-closing book style front that opened to reveal a plastic window displaying the knife. Inside the box, the knife was presented in a clear plastic tray. The plastic is recyclable, but it really seemed as though so much of it was not needed in the first place. The knife came with a little tip guard cover on the end, but not a storage sheath.

A bit on the heavy side but still a very good knife

We really love this knife. We’ve bought Zyliss products in the past and have a high opinion of the brand, and we have not been disappointed. The knife is beautiful to look at and has a lovely curved handle which is comfortable to hold. The blade is thicker than others we have but with an incredibly sharp blade edge which is apparently ice-hardened; a term I’d not come across before but apparently means it’ll keep its sharpness for longer. The blad is also full-tang, running the entire length of the knife including through the handle and this gives it a balanced feel in your hand and also means no worries about the blade snapping.It’s a joy to use and slices effortlessly, the dimples in the blade reduce the occurrence of slices sticking to the knife as you go and a quick wipe clean after use rather than sticking in the dishwasher will keep this knife in tip top condition!

Such a cool knife, looks a bit psycho but hey ho.The knife is ultra-sharp and easy to use, it has a long blade for big jobs like melons etc but also has this really cool shaped tip so that you can use it for precision work in the kitchen.A very sturdy blade and a great addition to the kitchen knives. I rate the knife really highly and I have worked in industrial kitchens previously and have come to know that a good knife is worth its weight in gold. The knife sits in the hand really well and does not become tiring to use.A total winner.

If you are considering ordering this knife ( which I highly recommend you do ) you should be aware it's an ID required item .This was delivered inside its own box . On the front of the box there is a picture of the contents and on the front of the package a flash that states there is a 25 Year guarantee .My thoughts .. Firstly that is impressive , secondly I felt it must be well made to make such a promise .The knife itself is well made , the stainless steel blade continues right through the handle , which means it's less likely to snap .This knife is well balanced and very ergonomic to hold it has a nice weight to it . It slices through meat and vegetables like a hot knife through butter .I'm very happily recommending

Great quality kitchen knife (sharp!)

Good quality knife with a decent blade that cuts well and easy to hold. Four stars.
