The quality of this knife is terrific. It is part of the Pro line, one of Zwilling's best. The steel will hold up for a lifetime and the knife requires little maintenance, just a weekly honing (see the 2-stage sharpeners if you are timid about honing) and, at most, an annual sharpening. 

It has an angled bolster, a new design features that matches the grip of professional chef's. It keeps the thumb and forefinger in the correct position for maximum control. Or if you prefer, the full size grip fits most size hands. So everyone can feel comfortable and confident standing over the holiday roast. Consider the carving set - this knife comes with an excellent carving fork.
