Great chopping knife, but it is not limited to just vegetables and fruits. It will take on most (all?) cubing, dicing, slicing, mincing jobs in a kitchen. Excellent weight and balance. Worth every penny.

The Gourmet line is a very good line of stamped knives. They are manufactured under tight controls and precise standards at Zwilling’s factory in Solingen, Germany. They have a full tang, running from the tip to the heel of the handle making these knives sturdy and stable. The comfortable handle is solid without being heavy.

Because the composition of the steel, these knives will stay sharp and responsive with every cut. Keep the blades honed, sharpen once or twice a year and you will enjoy them each time you use them. Dishwasher safe, but hand wash to keep it looking new.
