I've had this boning knife for a few weeks now and I'm quite happy with it. I initially planned on buying a boning knife from the "Twin Select" series, but decided to go with this model as it was much, much less expensive. I've used it a few times now and found that it works quite well. It's sharp, nimble, and does everything I need it to do. Summary: Save your money. Buy this knife.

As with all my previous purchases with Henckels knives, I am absolutely thrilled with this one! Excellent quality at a price that wont break the bank. I would recommend this knife and any other Henckels' knives to anyone looking for something that holds up and is affordable! A++++ all the way!!!!

I've had one of these boning knives for five years now. It's the knife that I reach for first. I use it to skin & debone wild boar & deer as well as chicken and turkey in the kitchen. Holds an edge quite well & sharpens easily. A little heavier than others but a well balanced feel. Also a little stiff but I always know where the tip is & what it is doing. I like a straight rather than a curved blade. A plus is that it is forged and not stamped. I just ordered two more so I always have one handy.

The handle on this knife isn't the best. Maybe if you're only disassembling one item in your own home it's fine. However, if you're breaking down multiple chickens the handle greases up and its rounded shape slips out of your hand quite easily. Add to that the considerable heft of the handle itself and you're left with a product that's neither comfortable or comforting to use for more than 15 minutes.

All the J.A.Henckels knives are great, but shop around and buy by the set if you can its much cheaper. Amazon is about the best price but compare sets, it can be confusing as to what your getting for the money. I bought mine at a Kohl's store and the set wasn't complete so I had to add these individually. For example the 6 or 8 pieces set has a couple of additional slots in the block for knives not included, hence I had to buy these on line at additonal cost. Just be careful. Oh and these knives are heavy, don't drop or your toes may be in the way. LOL. We weren't used to quality and dropped a couple times, no harm but lucky toes and dogs were out of the way.

nice looking knives, feel great, scratch easily though. I am no sure they have the quality of other knives in their price range.

no importa donde sea realizado un producto,lo que vale es la calidad que el fabricante le anexa al producto,es simplemete hermoso,hace el trabajo,quizas por el sitio de fabricacion algunas personas creen que es un un cuchillo de tercera ,pero seugun mi criterio es un real henckels en cuanto a calidad y aun mas ya que en las fotos no se percibe lo hermoso que es ,la linea y el balance del mismo ,lo recomiendo empliamente
