Goodness what a silly knife! The handle is so small! As small as the Four Star paring knife I have. Not sure why I didn’t return it, it is so annoying. How can anyone use this knife for cutting anything like a carrot or a piece of meat I do not know. The blade, while sharp, is even thinner than my paring knife. No wonder it was on sale. Who would buy this thing?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a very sharp and handy knife, I use it mostly everyday and it show no sign that it’s gonna dull soon. Love the shape and the length is perfect however the handle look kind of cheap to me. grazie mille

This knife is perfect for quick jobs in the kitchen. Its made from German Special Formula Steel, also forged from one piece of steel so durable for a lifetime. Its also ice hardened so blade will stay sharper for a longer period of time. The handle is comfortable and lightweight, a nice option compared to other heavy handle knives.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these as a gift and they are very sharp and feel good in my hand. It’s well made. My only complaint is that the handle is slippery if I have food on my hands. Overall it’s a great knife and I love the self sharpening block.

This is the best knife I never knew I needed. Its bigger than my pairing knife and the offset handle allows for easy work on the cutting board. I use it for all my prep and smaller jobs that dont warrant pulling out my full size chefs knife. The Four Star line is a classic. The handle material is very comfortable to hold and the texture gives a great grip. The forged German steel and construction are a sign of true quality. The blade is razor sharp, stays that way for a long time and is very easy to maintain. This knife is a must have.

When you don't need that big Chefs knife, this is the best go to I have ever used. The knife is a great knife for prep chopping because of the knuckle clearance, the flatness of the blade and the deeper width than a classic paring knife. When you are chopping it's easy to turn upside down and use the back of the blade to scoop the food like you tend to do with chef knives but cannot do with parers or utilities.

This is my grandmother’s go to knife. This is a great alternative blade instead of having to use a chef. She really likes using a smaller blade for when she cuts and slices her food, and she loves how lightweight the prep is so she can hold it and it won’t get heavy in her hand after using it for an extended period of time. A well made stainless steel blade, this forged knife will hold up for a long time and stay sharp, so you don't have to worry about sharpening as often.

This is a relatively new shape that is rapidly becoming everyone's favorite. Most of the time, we just don't need a big knife to handle the simple tasks of making a salad or a sandwich. Enter the 55.5-inch prep knife. It is lightweight, easy to maneuver like a paring knife but with enough width and length to slice a tomato or an onion. And because it is a Four Star, it is razor sharp, will hold the edge for a long while and it will last for years and years. There’s a reason the Four Star line has been a part of Zwilling’s lineup forever. It was designed with professionals in mind, so the focus was on safety, comfort and durability. The ‘grippy’ polypropylene handle is proportionate to the blade and the work - therefore no excess weight. The blade steel and method of construction is proprietary and at the forefront of technology. The blade can both take a beating and hold an edge, ideal for daily use and hard work. Although dishwasher safe, all knives perform and look better if they are hand washed. I’ve had a Four Star in my collection for decades. And it still comes out for certain jobs. I expect it will be there for a while longer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my 5.5-inch Prep Knife. Since receiving it, I have used it several times every day. It is lightweight and easy to use. It is convenient for preparing vegetables and fruits. Zwilling knives are very high-quality tools that no kitchen should be without. Having the right tools makes it a pleasure to prepare and cook healthy meals for my family.

This prep knife is excellent for multiple cutting tasks. It's small enough to use for apples and potatoes yet large and sharp enough to use for onions dicing and cubing meat. It has a curved tip for a rocking motion. The steel is super sharp and remains that way use after use. It only needs to be sharpened once per year with normal use. You will like the way the Four Star handle feels in your hand it has a light yet balanced non slip feel and the slight drop on the end keeps the knife in place as you slice.
