This chefs knife has served as a replacement for my henckels for five years now. Five years of hard work in numerous high volume kitchens. The spine is smoothed over to prevent serious cooks calus, and since the bolster does not extend all the way down to the edge its easy to sharpen the whole length of the blade. No bowing, no grinding. Also the blade is ground at a steeper angle than most german knives resulting in a sharper (altough more fragile) edge. I find the balance perfect for me if youre looking for something more blade heavy try japanese style knives, more handle heavy get a Dick or a henckels cermax. Also stick with a fine cut steel for this knife.

I never owned a forged kitchen knife before. These are my first. After researching all the forged knives on my list, I finally decided on the Messermeister Merdian Elite. This model has the Classic handle. These knives are awesome. I've been using them daily for the last 2 months and they still haven't seen a steel. Super sharp right out of the box. Like German quality? What more knife for your money? Then you can't go wrong with these.

I dearly love this knife!I started with the inexpensive but highly rated Victorinox Fibrox, but ended up being scared of using the knife because I just couldn't keep it stable despite holding it properly.I tried this knife in a cooking class (KitchenOnFire) and fell in love immediately. This knife is very nicely balanced, with perfect heft, and it feels great in my hand. I'm not at all afraid of using it, and it performs flawlessly. It's really a joy to use.I started with a Wüsthof 4" mini-chef's knife until I could afford the real thing. I still use that knife, but the handle cracked (no, of course I never put it in the dishwasher). I noticed the handle of the Messermeister isn't so sharp at the edges; it feels more "organic" if that makes any sense.It really is a beautiful, thoughtfully designed knife. I'm so happy with this.
