While this is a review of the Henckel's FIve Star 5" Utility Knife this concerns all the FIve Start Knives. The CON: It is almost impossible to find FIve Star knives. The PRO: They are really good. The best ergonomic fit in your hand. Wonderful balance. True stain resistance. Holds an edge. Have steel bolsters. We use the 5" Serated to cut just about anything, even though it is designated as a Tomato Knife.
One caution: because it has a serated edge DO NOT USE A Stone Grinder for the edge. A sharpening steel works perfectly.
It has a thick enough blade with a great taper to perform effective cutting (a thin edge is dangerous because it could bouince back and cut you).
As purchased, this was a good price even if it wasn't a Five Star.
Shipped promptly / well packed.
