Zyliss Utility Knife with Sheath Cover - Precision Knife for Cutting & Slicing - Paring Knife for Meat, Fruits & Vegetables - Culinary Kitchen Knife - 5.5" Carbon Stainless Steel Blade - Purple

This ZYLISS knife is simply the best everyday sharp knife for your kitchen! It’s simply unbeatable quality and at a fantastic price. I don’t know how Zyliss does it 🤔 but I’m glad they do 😊😊😊

I originally purchase a couple of these for the restaurant I worked at for the bar. Bar knives always seem to disappear into the kitchen, never to be seen again lol so I figured a purple one would stand out and hopefully remain behind the bar. Well that worked but when I started using these I feel in love with it. Holds an edge well and very comfortable to use. I now have two in my home, had to buy another because the first one was getting used so much and can't beat the price!

I had this knife for awhile now. All I can say is wow!!! This knife is awesome! I wanted to test it out and it passed every test. It cut thru a little charred tri tip with no problem. This is when I also noticed the grip is great. Makes it easier to cut with. I also tried playing around with holding a plastic bag and flicked the knife past the bag with no tension on the bag to allow the knife to cut it and it did cut it like butter. I also had one of those packages where you can't open the plastic case it's in. The only way is to cut through. I used this knife and it cut through the plastic with no problem. I used lots of knives to open those impossible hard plastic covered products and this knife cuts with no problem. I also used it to easily cut through some very thick zip ties. My friend was cutting some ham at my place with this very knife and he misjudged how sharp it was and cut himself. It's sharp sharp sharp. How long will it last? I dunno but for this price, you could buy one every 3 months and it would still be a bargain. I assure you this knife does it's job. I had originally bought it for the sheath so that I can take it camping and not accidentally cut myself while I pack and unpack my gear. Should I catch a fish, I will gut it with this knife too. 4/6/2013 I was cutting some tomatoes with this and I use my fingernails to guide my cutting. Usually, the knife slide off your fingernails to whatever you are cutting. In this case, the blade is so sharp it actually was cutting into my nails. Pretty impressed so far. Not bad for the price. I'm buying more of this brand in all it's sizes for sure from now on.

I have used a Henkel knives for decades. I came across this knife on a YouTube video of a meal prep channel. It’s larger than a paring knife but smaller than a actual chefs knife. And the blade is ridiculously sharp. Sliced through Romain lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, chicken breasts with ease. I don’t use the sheath and tossed it out because I felt it was a little difficult to maneuver the knife in and out and that in itself might cause a slice to your hand. Depending on how you store your knives, you might want to get a separate knife sheath. It’s easy and light weight to hold. I don’t think it has the speediness as a chef knife does. I do have several years of back of the house training and have used other high end knives. But it is so far a high-quality knife and I actually might get another knife or a larger one. Literally, my only frustration with the packaging. I know it needs to be secure but it was kind of a pain to get the package opened

These are the best! I've bought one for every kitchen I frequent and giving away as gifts. In fact, I usually keep an extra around so when people comment on them, I can give them one on the spot! There is also one in my van and camping kit, well protected by their sheaths. The knife is wonderfully sharp, hardly seems to dull at all and sharpens nicely when it does. The size and shape are perfect for all-around use - if I could only have one knife, this would definitely be it. It's well-balanced, inset enough to not hit your knuckles, rounded enough to chop garlic on the counter, and has a nice grip on the handle. Dry it before putting into the cover, and never cover it dirty, and you won't have to worry about grossness inside the sheath (which seems like if would be hard to clean). Keep your fingers outside the sheath when inserting the knife and you'll be fine - I never thought that a problem until reading other reviews. Oh, and it's PURPLE!!! Really nice purple too... I still can't believe how cheap these are for such a high-quality product. I can't imagine what the expensive ones would have over this...

For a low cost kitchen knife it holds an edge pretty well and i find it comfortable for daily use

Very light weight. We only use it to cut veggies and block cheese.it arrives very sharp but have found that I need to sharpen it every few days to cleanly slice my tomatoes and other veggies. For the money, I guess it was worth it. Probably spend more money to look for another knife with a thicker blade.

I think that getting used to using cheaply-made, impossibly dull knives in the kitchen is probably an integral part of most people's 20's. Well, at least this has been the case for me. Recently, I was about to host a party, and I needed to slice up a few vegetables to go into some of the hors d'oeuvres. Now - when you find yourself dreading the process of cutting up one pepper, one tomato, and one onion for three days in advance, this is probably a good indication that you either need to: a) seek a professional evaluation for lachanophobia (a fear of vegetables), OR, b) that it is definitely time to upgrade your kitchen knife game. I couldn't buy a whole new set of knives, because our set of dull kitchen knives belongs to my roommate and I know her well enough to know that she would insist that her knives are perfectly fine and refuse to replace them. (And no, we don't have the space for two whole sets of knives in our kitchen. This is Manhattan, don't be ridiculous.) So - I decided to buy this 5-inch Zyliss knife for myself, as it seemed versatile enough to handle many different jobs, and best of all, it might actually enable me to be able to cut up a cucumber without throwing my entire body weight behind every slice. The blade cover was a big selling point for me because it has to be stored in a drawer that holds all of our miscellaneous kitchen tools, and personally, I'm not a huge fan of slicing my hand open every time I'm digging for a potato peeler. I like that it's purple for obvious reasons (colors are cool). I'm probably not the best person to evaluate this knife's functionality because my bar was set so low before - but I CAN tell you that it is awesome at cutting things. My friend who came over to help me prepare for the party was very impressed with the skill level of my new knife as well. I am planning to buy more from this line of knives over time, so by the time I move in to my own apartment, I have acquired a full set. :)

A fabulous knife I have the twin and its 12 yrs old still my favorite bought 2nd to have at work Im a chef and I use my purple more than any of my chef knife collection

Extremely Satisfied

Zyliss never disappoint, another great quality knife. Would recommend zyliss knives as once you use them you will not what to use anything else. Good gripping handle. I now have 12 zyliss products (knives and peelers) in my collection.

Es el más duradero y alto filo que me ha tocado probar. Excelente! El precio muy por debajo de la calidad. Lo malo la funda en realidad muy peligrosa de usar. Se corre un GRAN riesgo de cortarse al usarla

Excelente faca
