I purchased this same knife for my son in law in December 2020. He loves it so much that I had to purchase one for myself. This model was out of stock for a while so I had to wait but it was worth it. The knife not only looks great it performs even better.  It's the sharpest knife that I have ever used and the weight and balance makes it a pleasure to work with.  I also bought the bamboo cutting board and won't use the knife on any other board. Great products offered by Zwilling.
