Review: This is a great knife! Sharp, well made, just the right weight and good grip.
Review: Excellent very sharp knife. Great for cutting tomatoes and onions. My previous Zwilling 5-inch knife was losing its edge after 20 years. I took it to a guy that sharpens knives but he ruined it. No worries I bought another one and expect it will serve me well just like the last one. Very high quality. Don’t hesitate this is worth every penny.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it really a 6" blade? Why does it say 16.5 in?**
A: ThIs blade is 6” long. You can also choose 8” or 10” blade lengths. The 16.5” figure is likely the packaging for the 10” blade.

**Q: What is the difference besides price in classic n this knife z twilling ?**
A: I know Henkels has a variety of levels of cutlery.  I purchase the 4 star level.  Had this knife in the 4 star for about 20 years and just replaced it with the same this year.  Money well spent if you use and care for them correctly. The rest of mine I have sharpened occasionally and have only done that for the last few years.  Finally lost the edge after all that time.

**Q: where is this knife manufactured?**
A: It's been a while since I ordered any of these knives, but the ones I have were all manufactured in Germany.

**Q: The description of 6" knife really refers to the blade length, correct?**
A: Yes... good all-around knife, 6inch blade, yet a tiny short... plus, is more of an utility knife than a chef’s knife... lacks a bigger belly to be a real chef knife...
