J.A. Henckels International 13545-131 Statement Prep Knife, 5.5"

Superb knife.. quite a pleasure to use it. I only wish they provided or sold a cover for the knife too

Nice knife I thought knife from. USA but when I saw it is from china

Very nice general purpose kitchen knife. Feels good in hand and holds an edge well. Probably our most used knife in the dozen we have to choose from in the kitchen.

We bought this for a 10 year old learning to cook. It is not as good as our best Wusthof and Henckles but very good for the price, super sharp and good balance for me and the 10 yr old. The only slight flaw is that because it is stamped not forged , where the handle and the heel of the blade meet there is no real bolster like there is on a forged knife and that leaves a very sharp corner that is not normally sharp. I just smoothed the corner with a diamond stone

This knife would have gotten 5 stars, but the top of the handle is flat and the weight/balance of the knife sometimes makes it roll upside down . -So it sits there poised to cut your hand if you’re not paying very careful attention. I was cutting mangoes and set the knife down to scoop the mango pieces into the bowl. My knuckles hit the knife as it was on its back. I was curious and checked all my other knives and the surface of tops of the handles are all rounded so this won’t happen.

Perfect for vegetables and cutting meats. It is just an all-around great knife.
