Zwilling J.A. Henckels 30348-183 Review by J. B Kraft "lonestargazer" (Palestine, TX United States)

I have a pretty full set of Henckels Five Star, but since buying this knife, if I only had one knife, this would be the one I want. I have found it to cut everything well, from cheese to meat, but it excels at chopping and slicing.

I like the handle even better than my Five Star set, and the weight and heft of the blade really make cutting large or chopping large quantities of items like onions or potatoes simple and easy -- it really saves effort when preparing meals for large groups. The Santoku blade makes paper thin slices of meat, fish, cheese, or potatoes or onions a breeze!

If there's a flaw in this knife (I have dropped it a couple of times), I cannot find it. As do all Henckels, it comes with a nice edge that is so easy to maintain, and balances toughness and sharpness with outstanding resistance to staining.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels 30348-183 Review by Just Anonymous (Georgia, USA)

This was my first twin cuisine knife and my first santoku.

I have to say that I'm very impressed with it.

PROS
-heavy (really helps when cutting)
-very good for mincing
-great for sushi but this thing cuts anything
-strong
-beautiful
-durable
-comfortable handle
-the weight makes it great for handling bigger jobs or for cutting firmer vegetables (well for me at least).

CONS
-the balance is nonstandard for me (the handle is heavy)....don't know if this is just because it's a santoku (are they all handle heavy?). Overall, not a big deal just takes a bit of getting used to.
-the handle has cracked on the top half (hairline but there) -- never been dropped or machine washed. I don't know if there's a warranty item on that, I'm going to check. If there isn't I'll probably wind up getting the PRO S line or another more traditional line (that's why it got dropped on star)

I've always handwashed this thing.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels 30348-183 Review by K. Thomas (New Jersey)

love the blade. the handle, not so much. got the 2 knife set about a year ago (this one w/ the paring knife.) the blades are great, super sharp and cut well. however the handles on both knives cracked in several places after only a few months of TLC care. (hand washing only, handled carefully). I love henkel knives and have used them for years, I will just get them with a different kind of handle in the future. also with this particular model it took me a few weeks to get used to the handle-heavy balance.
