I feel like i got what i paid for! The quality shows in its craftsmanship. There was some thought put in to the design of this knife especially the handle. It has a very dense solid blade which also is beautiful. I am a professional chef with Ritz carlton hotels and i will write another review in a couple weeks to let you know how how well it holds an edge after some use. Thanks , Chad
This is just what I needed, I bought the 8″ knife before but for me it was too big but this is bang on, I love it, it really is comfortable seriously sharp and easy to clean and it looks really cool, because it’s packaged so nice it’s great as a gift but I got it just for me,
The first day I got it I decided to make a polish hunters stew, basically cutting a mountain of veg and 4 kinds of meat and it was a pleasure,.
Seriously if you want an excellent do it all kitchen knife this is the one.

I bought this knife in addition to a larger Shun knife I bought some time ago. The Zelite is a joy to use. Good and sharp out of the box (although not quite as sharp as the Shun I think) but the balance and feel is great. I’m very pleased with this addition to my kitchen setup.
The size works really well for me and I now use this knife for most tasks. I’d probably use a thicker blade for heavier tasks but this one is great for all general cutting. Looks great too!
Bought for adult son for Xmas. (at his request) He was very happy with it, although he immediately said “it needs sharpening!”
We concluded that was a safety thing for shipping & he’s sharpened it himself. He says it has good balance & is lovely to use. We can’t comment on durability or value for money yet as he hasn’t had it long enough. That’s the only reason it was given 4* for those 2 ratings.
Knife arrived in a well made presentation box, giving how sharp it is I will be storing it n the box until ready for use, very well made and considering how long the blade is it’s very light and well balanced and the grip is comfortable and solid. So far only tested on slicing an onion but glided through with no effort producing very thin even slices, far better than my 20 knife of another brand.
Little more lateral flex than use too Imperfections in the layering.
Came with some rust is those imperfections. Little heavy (10″ ) and forward balance is off.
Blade dives forward to hand balance.
Blade bevel is uneven from tip to heel. Grinding imperfections on the spine.
Nice fat handle with dry rough scuff patches a little oil and time will smooth out.
Fun just to see. But would not invest as professional tools. 20yrs pro chef.
We have this knife for only a few weeks. The initial feeling is that it is an excellent knife and we are happy with it so far – no complaints at all. In fairness to prospective buyers I will reserve judgement until we’ve used it a lot more.
I have only had this knife for a couple of days and I love it. It has good weight to it for chopping and is razor sharp right out of the box. I have larger hands so finding knives that are comfortable is sometime a pain but this feels great. It is a beautiful knife to add.
I look forward to collecting and using a whole set.
Delivered next day, superbly packaged and presented, fantastic quality chef knife.
Did lots of research looking for the right knife for my son, who having worked in a restaurant, wanted a professional chefs knife. Item came beautifully boxed, ideal as a gift. Blade feels nice and sharp and the knife sits in the hand really comfortably. Purchased this and a matching utility knife.
I was given this as a gift. I don’t know whether to display it on the wall, shave with it, or mince a filet. Superb craftsmanship and beautiful presentation. This replaces my trusty 8″ Global that my son broke whilst using it as a screwdriver. I used it for one service tonight and it was a gem. Like a giant scalpel. The balance is petty good; a little bit heavy on the the front two fingers, but I got used to that after about 10 minutes. The knuckle clearance is excellent for a fat fingered chef like me. I’ve only given 3 stars for durability because I’ve not had it long enough to form a considered opinion but It looks more delicate than my Global. That shouldn’t be a problem if you don’t use it to bolt IKEA furniture together. My colleague used it to julienne a carrot and the knife was better than him!
It’s a grown-ups knife so you’ll need a whetstone (don’t use a pull through) but if you’ll understand that as soon as you start using it.
I’ll update this in a few weeks but at the moment I’m a Zelite convert.

Zilite’s customer service is also excellent. I had one knife that came with 2 very small blemishes. When I contacted their customer service, they immediately offered to replace the knife. No need to go through a return process, just a no hassle, 2 day expedited shipment, replacement knife shipment. Now all three are perfect and I highly recommend Zilite’s quality product and their customer focused attitude.
I started my culinary journey in Newport RI. in the late 1970’s. I have used many different kinds of knifes during my time as a chef. What first attracted me to this knife was the continuos ark of the cutting edge. There is no flat or dead spot. The steel is incredible. It holds an edge for ever. Even during mass preparation. I have been using this knife at work for 2 weeks, and believe this to be one of if not the best chef knives that I have ever used.
Firstly the service and communication by Zelite has been top quality.
The packaging and initial impression of contents was very impressive.
What to say about this knife??
Well firstly this knife is seriously beautiful. The Damascus is stunning. The handle is functional, robust but also great to look at.
So far the blade has proven to be razor sharp and hard wearing.
I’m massively impressed and will be returning in future. Thank you Zelite
This is a very handsome Kiritsuke at an amazing price. It’s perfect for students to begin with before they graduate to a Japanese Kiritsuke.
The metallurgy is high-class German hygienic and durable. The Logo and etching is very handsome too.
The Family manufacturers are justly proud of this product.
The presentation case is amazing and environmentally friendly.
I really enjoy using my Kiritsuke for fine vegetable work in the Japanese style, and for wider culinary knife tasks. Thanks
The six inch chefs knife i can see becoming, along with the six inch utility knife, my “go to” knife(s).
The knife is awesome, sharp out of the box and easy to use tho the weight balance is close to the handle. This however, doesn’t, as far as I’m concerned, detract from it’s use as it’s a light(ish) knife and good enough to tackle most of what is thrown at.
A whole lot more than pleased with my purchase.
Really is.. Time will tell, obviously ..but after using it for a week of heavy use it remained really sharp. In fact it was just as sharp as when i received it.. Handle is big and beautiful to hold and it slices effortlessly. I like the deep blade as its great for picking up veg and dumping it in a pot. Tried various different cutting styles: Chop, forward and rock and it copes with all of them.. Was going to buy a Santoku but they dont have the rock i was after and a santoku is really only good for fine julienne work.. It makes a great swooshing sound as it cuts which just adds to the amazing craft and build of this blade.. I would like to thanks the people who made this knife as it will get years of service.. Sharpening can be an issue, i use a worksharp original with these belts
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B019YCY49C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
As heavy grit belts take of too much steel on a fresh new edge. And they seems fine.. They put a keen edge back on it and i was worried that i would never get it as sharp as it was new but it is near as dammit..
I love using it and it makes a hard day just that bit easier.. Thanks.. Elliott..
I bought this knife as a birthday gift. It made a properly positive impression: a very nice packaging and a solid, high quality feeling. It still hasn’t been used much enough to decide about durability in particular: the owner values it a lot an uses on special occasions only. Very good so far: it cuts what other knives fail to cut and cuts what other knives struggle to cut “sawing” with amazing ease, “like it were butter”. The owner is very happy, she even stores it apart from kitchen in the present box it came in.

Overall an incredible Chef knife & razor sharp is no exaggeration, unquestionably worth the money
After un-boxing the 10 inch ZELITE Infinity & removing from its protective thick leather sheath, my wife just looked at me, she just couldn’t get over how light & well balanced the knife was to handle & even more impressed after her first use cutting fresh vegetables, she said its like cutting through air
I took a piece of silverside out the oven today, ZELITE Infinity made slicing tender roast beef a real pleasure, it carved so easy, amazing, a clean cut on every slice, no crumble or any waste at all
Makes food preparation more enjoyable, definitely recommend this product, only wished I’d bought a quality knife like this years ago
Before I review I must say I am not a chef nor will I ever be . I cook at home for me and my girlfriend and daughter . This is my forth Zelite knife it won’t be my last .
I know sharp from not and Zelite knifes are very sharp , lasting sharp because of the first class steel their made of .
Zelite knifes are a pleasure to use and should last me a lifetime . Each time I use the 10″ Chefs knife or any of the others it gives me a buzz . Dam but they look so good , work so well I can’t wait to cook next . Price is high but the quality is higher . Hell you only live once and I love using the best and I’m worth it ….. Are you .
I recently wanted a 10″ chef knife. So for me the only choice was this Zelite 10″ Infinity Chef knife. To be fair I’ve hardly used it yet but the same quality is apparent. The edge superb staright out of the box. The weight and balance are pretty much perfect, and the shape of the handle fits the hand in a very comforting way. I was also very pleased that it came with a very nice quality leather sheath to protect the blade. A lovely touch and something that was not available when I purchased my previous knife. I only wish it were possible to buy a sheath for my 8″ knife. However, having asked they are not available as a separate item. This may be something the company may wish to look at in future. I’m sure there would be many customers such as myself who would take advantage if they were to be made available. Anyway, a small(ish) point, overall I am extremely pleased with these knives and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who wants a great chef knife that will give years, if not a lifetime, of excellent service.
Bought this Japanese style 9″ chefs knife. Supplier dispatched promptly and the item arrived as specified. Packaged in a beautiful display/storage case. The knive is perfectly sharp, that is, sharp enough to make working with meat and vegetables a sinch but not overly sharp so the cutting edge is less durable.
Very good all rounder chefs knive, well balanced although the 9″ blade is a little longer than I am used to, it feels versatile and of the highest quality fabrication and materials. I have always used a 8″ chefs knife for all cooking prep so I thought I would be the same for this 9″ knife, but I have to admit that I have also purchased the 6″ Zelite Comfort-Pro Series as well, which I also recomend highly and this will be used more frequently. However, that being said this chefs knife is far superior to any knife I have used before and I have used professional grade knives in previous jobs as a commie chef and as a fishmonger.
I can just tell that both knives will be very easily maintained, retaining a good cutting edge with a limited amount of honing or sharpening and will last a very long time, That being said this will not be going anywhere close to a dishwasher!!!
Arrived on time. The knife boasts superb craftsmanship and was delivered in a high quality box which in turn was well packaged. The balance and heft of the knife is perfect for my (admittedly small) hands. The blade is exceptionally keen out of the box and shouldn’t need sharpening for a good while, although I would recommend a good culinary whetstone to help keep it’s edge. The handle is comfortable and well finished; a pleasure to work with. The included leather sheath is a very nice addition that emulates the quality of the overall package. If you are serious about cooking then it’s worth investing in a product that feels good, works well and gives great satisfaction of money well spent.
I just love this knife because it is so sharp and it feels great in my hand. I will be getting this knife for gifts and I will definitely recommend it to friends.
I’ve been waiting for a knife like this, I got it on prime day, so was good to get a discount, most people would think it pricy.
It’s extremely well packaged, so suitable as a gift, very well balanced and light weight.
It cuts beautifully, I know ill buy more when I can afford it.
I’ve got a drawer full of kitchen knives that just don’t cut it ha ha.
Wish I got this sooner, my drawer would be much tidier now!
I will warn you it’s very sharp, I would watch some youtube vids on knife skills.
I waited 2 weeks before actually using my new knife – huge mistake! I opened the box yesterday whilst prepping for a large family barbecue – wow. I cook a lot and have always invested in good knives but my new Zelite was perfectly balanced, well weighted and effortlessly cut everything despite being cheaper than my usual brand. I was so impressed I purchased 2 more last night ( upgrading to the Executive Pro this time with leather sheaths – these knives are seriously sharp…) and will be adding to my collection over the next few months. I think that is probably the best endorsement a customer could give 🙂 Excellent, personal service too from this British family business – 5 stars!

After working at a restaurant I realized i need it a good knife for the house. I wanted a 10” and came across this amazing knife! Came in yesterday and it’s great!
I will definitely order another size from this same brand, thanks you.
I purchased a set of Comfort Pro Series as a gift for my cousin as she was forever commenting on my Zelite knives whenever we had dinner parties.
Here is what she thought of the knives.
I received these as a gift from my cousin which was a great surprise. I had always admired his collection of Zelite knives whenever we were over for dinner and had used them and found them fantastic compared to my own set.
The Kiritsuke Chef knife is a big knife (to me anyway!!) but it doesn’t feel uncomfortable in the hand, again it is extremely well balanced and it has a razor sharp blade which made chopping a variety of foods a simple pleasure and not the hacking ordeal I used to have with my old set of knives.
What struck me most about this knife was that it looks like it should be used in a top restaurant but here it is in my kitchen and yet it doesn’t look out of place! Absolutely amazing.
Superb looking knife incredibly sharp Will update later after prolonged use over time
Fabulous knife. Razor sharp, keeps the edge for a long time. Gently wipe the blade against a ceramic steel and you will have a perfectly sharp knife. Best knife I have ever owned. Its been a couple of weeks since I bought this lovely knife, and I thought I would do a little update. First, the handle is exceptionally comfortable, by far the most comfortable knife I have ever used. No matter how long you use it for, or what you are working on, there is no fatigue from the grip. Second, it keeps its edge for ever!! I have gently wiped it down the side of a ceramic steel after several days of use, and the edge was fantastic. Third, for such a large knife, the balance is very good, which gives you superb control and accuracy. Simply put, I am delighted with this knife. I have cooked since I was very young, and this is the best tool I have had in the kitchen. I will not be needing another knife.
The best blade I have ever used only had 30 years in the industry but hey what do I know edge retention fantastic razor edge so easy to keep heads up people buy the matching utility knife
Sharp and stays that way handles beautifully in that it is so well built you don’t feel as though
you have been using even during long sessions of use. Highly recommended.
The blade is extremely sharp and certainly lives up to its razor-edge series title. Be really careful when unsheathing until you get used to it, it is fantastic to use.
The finish on the Dalstrong is more impressive and it’s edge near perfect but the Zelite’s handle and, for the pinch grip, the bolster beats it for comfort, a close run though. You’ll want a whetstone and guide, (get them at then same time to save on the postage !) as this is NOT a throw away when it gets dull knife, not one you’ll just throw into the kitchen drawer when your done with it, you’ll want to pamper this knife and show it off to your friends “It’s sharp mind !” Well worth the price; Sabatier knives, which I’ve used since I could afford GOOD knives in the early 1980s are around the same price but no where nearly as good, though I managed to get nearly 20 years from them, I’m confidant these will last even longer, maybe the last knives I , or you, will ever have to buy, unless I drop it from a moving car ! A pleasure to use, and I do every day, if it went missing I’d buy it again in a heartbeat.
Incredible knives. I have given two as presents so far and everyone is impressed with the sharpness and balance of these beautiful blades. Customer service is also excellent and delivery was so fast. Thank you Zelite and I look forward to actually buying a knife for myself one day
IT HAVE A VERY NICE KNIFE MY SON LOVE IT
I will add to this report after i have used it, totally gutted to have missed the lightning deal which has just finished where i could have saved 42,but hey ho its the way it goes.
I am still very pleased with my choice though, and see no reason why i will not add to it in the future.
After using it for when i do curries all i can say is its a dream and its edge stays and has earned my respect, it never sees the dishwasher and it always lives in its sheath, a truy lovely knife.
6″ Paring knife nex
Love my knife so much and i also love that i get a sheath to keep it in. My only sugestion though is that i wouldve loved if the sheath could be attached to abelt and worn for you wouldnt want to have that knofe laying around .
Firstly, the Knives arrived in quality packaging. I was particularly impressed, once opened, with the look of the knives in the box both in and out of their protective pouch….they look super cool with the pattern on the blade and were in keeping with the quality look of the other Zelite knives I’ve seen and used.
The knives themselves are super sharp and you need to be extra careful when you first use them and remove them from the pouch. I cut my finger despite expecting them to be this sharp from prior experience with the Japanese versions!
Since they arrived on a Saturday my mother was cooking a Sunday dinner the following day , so it was a great chance to try them out for herself. She was particularly impressed at how very well balanced and easy to use they are and don’t feel overly heavy in the hand. They sliced through whatever food was being prepared with ease and all done their jobs with extreme ease.
These are on a par with Zelites previous range as they continue to produce outstanding quality knives whether for the occasional chef or the more hard-core ones. Either way they are a definite plus for any kitchen and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Now the big question for me.. “Do I keep these and give mother my Japanese ones”!! I don’t think I would notice the difference either way!!
Sleek Looking, Super Sharp….Sensational Zelite Infinity
Wonderful knives, really pleased, quickly dispatched, very happy with items & service A+++
For over 30 years I have been using 4 Sabatier 2 Lion knives 4″, 6″, 8″, 10″
1 Sabatier 10″ Carbon Steel Chef’s Knife
2 Victorinox Paring knives 3.25″ and 4″
The best knife I possessed was a dirty blue grey Sabatier 10″ Carbon Steel that was given to me by my sister in law who as a cook used it with a hammer to chop up frozen food. Using a file and a steel I reclaimed it and until recently it was the best knife I’d ever owned.
Recently I was reading about Japanese knife manufacturing using laminates of different steels having trained as an Engineer I was absorbed
As a result, I went on Amazon and purchased from ZELITE INFINITY
1 ZELITE INFINITY Paring Knife 4 inch – Alpha-Royal Series – Best Quality Japanese AUS10 Super Steel 67 Layer High Carbon Stainless Steel
1 ZELITE INFINITY Utility Knife 6 Inch >> Executive-Plus Series >> Best Quality Japanese AUS10 Super Steel 45 Layer Damascus, Incredible G10 Handle, Full-tang
They’d arrived so I decided we’d have some sort of salad for tea and put the 6″ utility to use I was amazed everything was like cutting butter, I was about to cut a tomato into 6 slices but cut 3 and the remaining half into 12, incredible we were in danger of getting about 30 slices of cucumber each instead of 6.
Within 2 days I’d ordered,
1 ZELITE INFINITY Chef Knife 8 Inch >> Executive-Plus Series >> Best Quality Japanese VG10 Super Steel 67 Layer High Carbon Stainless Steel, Incredible G10 Handle
1 ZELITE INFINITY Chef Knife 10 Inch >> Alpha-Royal Series >> Best Quality Japanese AUS10 Super Steel 67 Layer High Carbon Stainless Steel, Incredible G10 Handle
So now, going to the opposite extreme I took the 10″ knife and put 8 cuts into a clove of garlic 4 at 90degrees then finely chopped, I’ve never found anything so easy these knives are absolutely unbelievable, all of them!
Thank you Zelite Infinity!
ZELITE INFINITY Chef Knife 10 Inch >> Alpha-Royal Series >> Best Quality Japanese AUS10 Super Steel 67 Layer High Carbon Stainless Steel, Incredible G10 Handle, Full-tang, Long & Deep 48mm Chefs Blade
arrived sharp as hell
managed to shave my forearm with ease
beautiful knife
it’s my 3rd one from zelite
very happy
Bought for a working chef. He’s bowled over. He keeps finding things that desperately NEED cutting up… Beautifully sharp, beautifully constructed (full tang), beautifully embellished. There seems to be an entry-level Zelite range and then a “better” range, but discovered on research there seem to be two levels within this better (Alpha Royale) range. This was the better of the two but the adverts are not clear at distinguishing, so check! But beautiful, brilliant knife!

What a delight it was to open the wrapping, My new Zelite Infinity chefs knife had arrived earlier than expected even taking into account that xmas was on us delivery and service was excellent would definitely recommend to my friends and family l would also say that if you want the best, you may pay a small premium but wow what you have will please you and that premium was money well spent. I will use again as i intend to upgrade all my knives.Thanks for a very good product and delivery. Mike.
I have had this for a year now and it is still sharp, but I think it is starting to lose its edge slightly. I am going to look for a professional knife sharpener to sharpen all of my knives as I do do not want to risk damaging the blade or taking the edge off using a stone or electric sharpener.

Not being a chef, although I really enjoy and spend a lot of time cooking, I was a bit doubtful about spending 150 on a single knife but was keen to get something a bit better than the bog standard knives I was used to.
This knife was exactly what I had been looking for.
If spending time in the kitchen is your thing, whilst using top quality products, then you won’t be disappointed in any respect.
An absolutely top quality product that will provide you with pleasure and will be a joy to use for many years to come.
Incredibly sharp knife, so sharp in fact I have just carved a leg of lamb with thinner slices than I have ever achieved before, much of it just with the weight of the knife.
Only caveat is, as with the 5 inch Zelite knife I purchased alongside this one, at handle end of the blade there is an extremely sharp point which will nick an unwary finger. (See my review of 5 inch knife for picture).
This knife is beautiful to look at and you can clearly see and appreciate the craftsmanship that went into making it. It is also a very weighty knife but as I am big handed and was used to a thin Sabatier knife then I can notice this more as I now don’t knock my knuckles on the chopping board, although the balance and weight seem to make it easier to use and I am sure as I use it more it will get even easier. The handle and sloping grip make it easier to hold than normal knife and as I said I can appreciate the craftsmanship and small details like this. I am sure this knife will last forever, or as long as I’m around at least, so I have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone interested
Is one of the best knifes that I laid my hand on being a cook I have got Japanese knifes Europeans but this knifes really is something else. Perfect cutting edge really sharp but what makes it very special is how well balanced is this knife. I recommend this knife to home cooks and certainly to professionals.Zelite Infinity

Excellent utility knife. Beautifully crafted. Comfortable grip. Nicely balanced. A professional knife that I feel will last forever! Purchased to replace my worn out Sabatier knives. They lasted well but these look and feel a lot better. Expensive but cheaper than wasting money on poor quality knives.
This knife, like other Zelite knives, are very carefully packaged in a strong quality presentation box. Ideal for a present to someone. Knives have a safety cap at the tip, which is a good idea to keep on when not in use. These are sharp knives, so I’d advise investing in a magnetic knife holder rather than placing in a drawer.
Prompt delivery. Excellent sellers. Highly recommended.
The knife is amazing. I have boght two other models as well from the same family. The only sugestion I would make is to include a protection sheath to preserve the knife sharpness: I dont want to put this knife in yhe drawer “naked”. A real pleasure to work with it as it isvery sharp and allow you to focus on the real objective. A sheath and it s perfect.
Review 06/11/17 – After only a few mont of occasional use the blade developed some problems. Client support very quickly got in touch with me and provided a solution. Client service is definitely 5 stars!
I’m no chef but I am a keen home cook. I wanted to treat myself to a decent quality chefs knife, had read some decent reviews on this product so gave it a go. Ive had it now for a few weeks and it performs really well. Razor sharp straight from the beautiful presentation box it arrives in. Sharpens beautifully with a steel. I reckon it will serve me well for many years. Would highly recommend as a good all purpose knife.
Bought by my other half as a birthday present for me as I am always complaining that his knives are blunt and I don't have the right equipment to give them a new edge. It is very comfortable to hold and use. The dimples mean that slices of food don't stick unless coated in lots of sauce. Very smooth and easy to handle. Very pretty design and lovely case.
Only complaint is that the dimples can be a bit of a pain to get completely clean with some foods, but that's not the end of the world.
I have been using Gustav knives and my 6″ version lost it’s rivet causing me to look around for a new knife. I choose this one as it seemed to fit the requirements.
The box it comes in is more of a presentation box than a delivery box and despite keeping my knives on a magnetic rail I have decided to keep the box, it is that nice.
The knife itself is visually stunning with the patterning along the blade, a full tang riveted together. The heft fits my hand quite nicely and the heel of the handle doesn’t rub onto the heel of my hand. The blade is fantastically sharp, as you would expect in this price point, and has held it’s edge nicely for the 3 months of light usage I’ve managed to give it so far.
My only disappointment is seeing it being sold for discount within a month of my purchase.
It was brought as a present for my Dad as he is a passionate about cooking as well as the utensils needed for cooking. His preference is Japanese knives and this is a mix between that and a western knife (read from reviews). The feedback was it was good as a everyday knife however, the blade blunts very quickly. Other than that happy with my purchase! Would recommend this to those who are starting their collection (maybe not the best suited to a knife expert)
Purchased as a Christmas present for my son who is a keen chef and already has several quality knives.
I was a bit dubious when I bought the knife as I was looking at the normal global, I.O Shen etc, and hadn’t heard of the brand before, however, I am happy to say that this knife is of equally high quality to the well known brands, the build and finish are first class and the knife arrived razor sharp.
I would strongly recommend this knife for anyone who appreciates quality and enjoys their cooking.
I paid full price for the knife and this is a honest unsolicited review.
I have now used it for a couple of weeks and I’m still very impressed with the results for the price I have paid. It is very aesthetically pleasing too if you are that way inclined. I use a knife like this as my main workhorse.
Cheers
It was quite a step for me to spend 100 on a single kitchen knife, and having used it now on a few occasions I’m relieved to say that it was a sound investment. Its cutting ability is unparalleled by any of my other kitchen knives, plus the weight and balance make it fantastic to hold and use. My partner used it the other day for the first time, having previously avoided doing so, fearing that she’d finish up one or two fingers less! She was equally wowed by its cutting ability and ease of handling

One of the most impressive things about these knives is the boxes they come in. I’m sure I am not alone in feeling awful throwing away the packaging because it is SO well made.
The knives are super sharp (I guess that is normal and expected for a knife at this price), well balanced and have a solid, well built feel about them. They are easy to clean and, as other reviewers have already said, look just beautiful.
I was impressed to receive an email from Zelite to check I was happy with my purchase.
What more can I say? Just great knives, made by nice people???

This is a work of art as well as a fantastic tool. This knife screams quality in every way and is better than anything else at the same price. Zelite have combined the quality of Japanese steel with the economies of production in a modern factory in China. I have seen a similar process with Saville Row shirts where by using modern automated machinery a top quality product as good as a hand made one can be produced in quantity at a significantly cheaper price. Zelite have gone further in using a full tang rather than the traditional half one. This results an inherently stronger knife. If you can only afford one really good knife for your kitchen then this is the one then start saving for another one in the Zelite range. Note that I paid the full Amazon price for this knife so I have no axe to grind!
**TESTED** One of the best knifes i;ve ever tried. Easy to dice, cut and split. However still slight annouyed with the finshing. Still perfect for cooking. Hope this helps.
