Review: Good Middle of the Road Knife For an Avid Home Cook - Years ago, I was gifted the Twin Four Star II Chef Knife. It’s worked great for pretty much anything I want to cut, assuming it’s kept sharp and honed. The blade profile and material is basically the same as this Pro Traditional. The only difference is the handle and bolster. I’m big on sharpening my knives on whetstones and the bolster on the Twin definitely gets in the way. I plan to gift the Twin to someone newer to cooking and wanted another hardy knife for daily use. I have a couple of Miyabi knives I baby a bit more that definitely retain an edge better; however, with the Zwilling, I know the blade can take a beating with harder ingredients without worry. It’s 57 HRC and sharpened at 15 degrees. Out of the box, the edge was sharp and I’m happy with my purchase, especially since I got it for under $90. Pros: - Well made and sturdy as expected of a Zwilling - Blade is plenty sharp out of the box - Bolster doesn’t extend to the heel of the blade making sharpening easier - Stainless Steel that won’t rust or stain easily when submerged or dealing with acidic ingredients - Blade HRC also makes it relatively easy to sharpen. - On sale, it’s a great value for a well made daily cutter. - The knife comes in this traditional blade profile, which fixes the issues of the complaints against the normal version. Cons: - It is handle heavy. Not too much of a con for me but could be for some - The handle might not be comfortable for everyone. I personally prefer the handle on the Twin Four Star II - I wish the HRC with 59-60 so it would retain an edge longer while being sturdy but that’s just a small nitpick. Can’t complain for the price.
Review: Great knife. - This has been a great knife. I bought this for my gf that works in a steakhouse kitchen. It has been flawless for her. Stays very sharp with an occasional ceramic rod realignment, stain and rust free. Great tool for the price. No chipping, handle feels great in the hand.

This has been a great knife. I bought this for my gf that works in a steakhouse kitchen. It has been flawless for her. Stays very sharp with an occasional ceramic rod realignment, stain and rust free. Great tool for the price. No chipping, handle feels great in the hand.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's Sharp
*by M***. on May 2, 2020*

The the manufacturer packaging my knife arrived in was damaged, like it was dropped on it's end and squished a bit. I was nervous that the tip may be broken or some other damage to the blade, but luckily I did not discover any damage. The knife feels really nice in my hand and I like the angled, rounded half-bolster. It is very comfortable. With the full tang, the blade feels really light and I'm able to wield it very precisely and quickly. It is very sharp out of the package and I just ran it over a steel a few times before using. I also like that the bolster does not interfere with the blade like my other chef knives. The only problem I have is that my wife won't let me display it on the magnetic holder with my other knives. I have the Henkels/Zwilling 4-star collection, and this knife doesn't match...so I had to fashion a sheath and put it a drawer. Probably better off so no one else uses it. Do they make sheaths for these knives? I will have to research that. Anyway, this is a really nice chef knife, and I would recommend it to anyone in the market for a decent chef knife.
