As a professional chef myself, I have found a lovely peice to a small but complete set of professional knives. This knife is very well balanced and versatile. It will work well with just about any product you are useing, and a great alternitive to a chef's knife. Weather you are chopping, diceing, sliceing, or boning this knife will give the needed response while being extreemly comfortable for that case of veggies. The legendary Henckles name is well represented here and will last the average house hold user a life time. Weather you are looking to complete a set or just want a good all around knife, look no further.

Based on advise from a friend, I purchased this knife as a backup to my 8" chef's blade and have been very happy with it. It is very well balanced for vegetable preparation. I also find it's wide flat blade better than a chef's knife for long even 'precision slicing'.

I have had this knife for a couple of years now and I find that it keeps it's edge (with maintenance) even better than my four star Henkels chef knife.

I love this knife. It's the best kitchen knife I've ever owned. I ordered the 4 star version because I like this style of handle the best. The high carbon stainless steel blade is very sharp and holds an edge a long time. It took me a few days, and a few band-aids, before I got used to how sharp it was. I plan on ordering more of the 4 star series.

I am a serious home cook and this is the knife I grab for most tasks. It has a nice balance. The shape makes it sit more squarely on the chopping board giving me better control and faster results when chopping. I highly recommend this knife for your everyday needs.

This is my first JA Henckels knife...it's incredibly sharp and I love the feel of it in my hand, the fit is great. One caution - be careful if you are used to knives that are not this sharp....I have a nice scar from my initial use! Definitely will add some other knives from this collection to my own.

This is a surprizingly great knife. More accurate slicer than the chief's knife, it is also great for dicing. You can hold the knife by it's spine and rock the knife over onions and peppers to get really nice small dice. I obtained a leap improvement to my Salsa's texture after using this knife to prepare it. Definately like this knife for veggie slicing and dicing a lot.

Now that I have the kids helping me cook dinner/chop vegetables etc. I needed another "chef" knife. Rather than duplicate the chef's knife, I got this one and am very pleased. It's narrower blade makes slicing easier, the curve of the blade has a nice rocker motion to it. I think of the two styles I prefer the French Chef's over this one but as a second knife this one is great.

Purchased this knife to complete my knife collection. I'm not a serious (or even a great) cook but I love Henckels Four Star knives and have used them for over 20 years. This knife (as well as the others in the Four Star Collection) is well balanced and very sharp. It makes me want to take cooking lessons so my meager skills can match the knife's potential. My efforts in the kitchen may not taste gourmet but I feel like a chef with this knife in my hand. Marian

A BARGAIN!!! Why is this blade so much cheaper than others when it is equal in quality and superior in grip? Buy this one and you won't be disappointed.
I've used this model and I sell a lot of these to other chefs and cooks...I love it, they love it...'nuf said.

It claims a 5 mojo*z in my bag!!!

Nice weight. Slicing is a breeze. I can't say I've owned a better knife. I can't wait until I get the rest of the set.
