Very sharp, very nice. Will use instead of old dull knives from now on.
I recently bought a few different Pro Series knives to experience the different styles. I also own the Meridian Elite 8" Chef's Knife. While the Meridian is an absolute "must have," and I love it dearly, this Pro Series 6" Chef's knife is my new go-to 90% of the time. It's lighter, the blade is thinner, and it performs really well cooking portions for two people. Cutting up a whole onion for instance is fine with this 6" knife, but I would prefer my Meridian 8" for that task, as it's light weight and agility starts to work against it. If you're into lighter knives for agility around smaller portions, I highly recommend the Messermeister Petite Messer 5” Chef’s Knife as well. As for the 4-star rating...while the 6" knife arrived plenty sharp, it could not pass the paper test. I still recommend it and I did sharpen it.
I have had very good luck with several Messermeister knives, including a number from the Pro Series.
I was impressed with the quality and value of an earlier order and was intrigued with the "wide"chef series. At this point I have a month or so with the 8 inch and find myself reaching for it from my knife block most of the time. The handle is very comfortable and provides a secure grip that also allows excellent control. To me the blade shape is reminiscent of Bob Kramer's knives. The Pro Series has good steel that is easy to sharpen, takes a razor edge and holds it well. And did I mention the price?
These knives are very attractively priced and well worth it, in my opinion.
My favorite knife, I use it morning and night. I have 5 or 6 pair of tongs that I use on a regular basis too.
I have several of these knives and love to give them as gifts. They’re the perfect all around chef knife.
