Got this for my son who's a chef..because he keeps nicking mine to take to work.

Super schönes Messer, liegt prima in der Hand und ist schön scharf.

Bought this as a gift for my brothers 30th. The product itself is great. The knife is very sharp and looks great. Would definitely rank it above my global knife set. Unfortunately the packaging came slightly damaged which is a shame as it was a present, but overall great knife and great quality for money

Over the years I have bought many knives for my hobby. If you enjoy cooking as much as I do you soon realise that the most important item is a set of good knives and believe me this series of knives ticks all the boxes. The balance, looks and of course the razor sharp edge. It's beautiful to look at and the presentation is second to none. You can take a tomato and virtually rest the knife on the skin and with the very lightest of strokes goes through like a razor blade. The first cut I tested on was a tomato and the thinnest of thinnest slice was made with precision. This series of knives in my opinion is a joy to own and that would be the envy of anyone who would hold one. If I made a living selling these knives I think I could make a fortune. It's a one way show, see it, use it,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I want them!!!!

Amazon has such a wide range of options I wasn’t sure what to go for at first. Having done some research eventually I decided I’d need 8 inches and I’m glad I went for this option. It feels smooth in the hand and has great versatility to satisfy the most demanding of situations. Recommended.

Zelite are the best knives. I like the japanese AUS10 steel the best. I own a few. This is the second chef knife I have bought. My first is still going strong four years down the line and still very sharp. I use it for everything. This second knife I have just purchased is part of a xmas present for my daughter. The weight, craftmanship and quality are fantastic. It comes beautifully packaged and looks impressive as a gift. If taken care of this knife should last a lifetime.

A truly stunning quality chefs knife, perfect balance and precision whilst being beautifully crafted. Wholeheartedly recommended.

Purchased this 10” chiefs knife as and upgrade after owning a kiritsuki knife from zelite’s comfort pro range for around a year. The executive plus series Of knifes is quite a step up and such a pleasure to use its well balanced and nicely weighted also RAZOR SHARP. So good that I’ve just ordered the matching paring knife for more intricate cutting and slicing. I also like this range as each knife is supplied with a well made leather sheath to keep it and you safe when it’s not in use. Shame and a surprise that the top of the range Alpha Royal series doesn’t also come with a leather sheath.

Superb all-round cooks knife with a superb hand fit and a very sharp edge which is easily maintained

I just received mine today, bought the 8" chef knife and also the 6" utility knife. They are both beautiful, well crafted, perfectly balanced, excellent weight, super sharp and an absolute joy to use. They are a testiment to true craftsmanship and I am looking forward to many years of use.

The product is absolutely immaculate from the presentation right down to the knife itself. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into designing this product from all the small details which come together to bring this knife into a class of its own. The handle is ergonomic and well built. The blade itself has a stunning design and is perfectly proportioned. As for using the knife it has to be said that it is a real step up from the previous knives I have owned. It cuts through everything like butter and is simply a joy to use. Thumbs up for this one. It doesn't get any better than this.

Given as a gift. Recipient very pleased with it. Could not find out from website how to sharpen it when necessary.

Fantastic knife, wife’s birthday present as she loves cooking, looks gorgeous and is sharp as a razor. Seems to hold its edge, time will tell

I had been eyeing up this knife for a while and managed to get it in a sale so was a bargain. When the item first arrived there was a few small micro chips in the blade but I have Japanese whetstone's so was able to remedy this but I contacted the manufacturer to let them know of the defect and with no quibble they offered a partial refund for the inconvenience and still got to keep the knife. Their customer service is second to none and the items they produce are amazing quality. Really sharp out of the box but I always like to put my own angle on them with the whetstone's so now it is just insane. The steel keeps the edge really good as well thanks to the quality of the hard steel. This knife is like a work of art. The patina from the folds and the hammerd finish make it a joy to look at. The extra depth in the blade make it great for scooping up what you've just chopped and it is really well balanced. It cuts through everything I throw at it with ease and is comfortable to use with the ergonomic handle. Even the attention to detail in the laser etching of the company logo and steel info and the leather sheath is amazing. All in all well worth the money paid and would highly recommend to any aspiring chef or home cook.

I love my new knife. I'm a chef nd this is my new work horse however I've had it a few weeks and noticed this last night any ideas what might of caused it I always keep it clean and dry when I'm not using it. Although I live the knife I'm not really happy as its so expensive I wouldn't expect this to happen after only a few weeks

Absolutely brilliant...have wanted a knife like this for some time. Now can enjoy kitchen carving and chopping... Now have 3 of these wonderful knives and hoping to add more soon.

Great knife very sharp looks great well made

this was bought as a gift to a chef. he loved it!

Great looking Very sharp Holds edge for a long time

It’s perfect for me

Never had a single problem with Amazon.co.uk and the items I've bought, but at the same time never wrote a review. Now i must do that. Been looking for a chef's knife for about 3 weeks, then I purchased this knife yesterday 13th December, expected by Monday 17th, today by 4 pm was on my door. I've realized from the packaging, done with so much care, that what was inside in it must have been important. The case is beautiful, the leather slipcase too. Handling for the first time such a beautiful knife it's been awesome, once fully unfolded, it's a light show. Truly honest, if you are looking for a great blade with an astonishing sharpness, with an unbelievable well-balanced body, that comes from a serious family-ran company, do not waste 3 weeks like me, this is an excellent manufactured knife that cost definitely less than what its real value is. Thanks ZELITE INFINITY.

This knife is an absolute beast, i have been using it for over two months and still enjoy and appreciate its quality every time i use it. Mine came with a slight defect but extremely minor and they offered to send me a new knife and said i could keep this one also. Top notch knife and great customer service !

Delivered the next day, fantastic quality knife, great to use and a real work of art. If you are considering a new knife and want something of quality from a reputable company, buy this now, you will not regret it.

Really is.. Time will tell, obviously ..but after using it for a week of heavy use it remained really sharp. In fact it was just as sharp as when i received it.. Handle is big and beautiful to hold and it slices effortlessly. I like the deep blade as its great for picking up veg and dumping it in a pot. Tried various different cutting styles: Chop, forward and rock and it copes with all of them.. Was going to buy a Santoku but they dont have the rock i was after and a santoku is really only good for fine julienne work.. It makes a great swooshing sound as it cuts which just adds to the amazing craft and build of this blade.. I would like to thanks the people who made this knife as it will get years of service.. Sharpening can be an issue, i use a worksharp original with these belts https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B019YCY49C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 As heavy grit belts take of too much steel on a fresh new edge. And they seems fine.. They put a keen edge back on it and i was worried that i would never get it as sharp as it was new but it is near as dammit.. I love using it and it makes a hard day just that bit easier.. Thanks.. Elliott..

Great weight, great handling and really sharp. I will be looking at the rest of the knives these guys have. I think this one should last me a long time 10/10

Received product promptly & in perfect condition, well packaged Overall an incredible Chef knife & razor sharp is no exaggeration, unquestionably worth the money After un-boxing the 10 inch ZELITE Infinity & removing from its protective thick leather sheath, my wife just looked at me, she just couldn't get over how light & well balanced the knife was to handle & even more impressed after her first use cutting fresh vegetables, she said its like cutting through air I took a piece of silverside out the oven today, ZELITE Infinity made slicing tender roast beef a real pleasure, it carved so easy, amazing, a clean cut on every slice, no crumble or any waste at all Makes food preparation more enjoyable, definitely recommend this product, only wished I'd bought a quality knife like this years ago

After spending a while looking for a new chef knife i thought id give this a go even though i hadnt heard of the make. This is by far the best knife i have ever used or owned. Absolutely razor sharp with a great point and rock for detailed work. Comfortable fat grip with a hook on the end making it really comfortable for long slicing jobs. Sharpens up again nicely on a stone and looks great too. My knives take a hammering every day so if this stands the durability test i will be buying more Zelite knives in the future.

I do a lot of cooking. Which as any cook will tell you involves a lot of preparation, and a not inconsiderable amount of chopping, slicing and dicing. almost a couple of years ago I purchased a Zelite Infinity 8" chef knife and it has become my everyday workhorse. Never sharpened, only honed, and still has the best edge of any knife I have used. I recently wanted a 10" chef knife. So for me the only choice was this Zelite 10" Infinity Chef knife. To be fair I've hardly used it yet but the same quality is apparent. The edge superb staright out of the box. The weight and balance are pretty much perfect, and the shape of the handle fits the hand in a very comforting way. I was also very pleased that it came with a very nice quality leather sheath to protect the blade. A lovely touch and something that was not available when I purchased my previous knife. I only wish it were possible to buy a sheath for my 8" knife. However, having asked they are not available as a separate item. This may be something the company may wish to look at in future. I'm sure there would be many customers such as myself who would take advantage if they were to be made available. Anyway, a small(ish) point, overall I am extremely pleased with these knives and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who wants a great chef knife that will give years, if not a lifetime, of excellent service.

Arrived on time. The knife boasts superb craftsmanship and was delivered in a high quality box which in turn was well packaged. The balance and heft of the knife is perfect for my (admittedly small) hands. The blade is exceptionally keen out of the box and shouldn't need sharpening for a good while, although I would recommend a good culinary whetstone to help keep it's edge. The handle is comfortable and well finished; a pleasure to work with. The included leather sheath is a very nice addition that emulates the quality of the overall package. If you are serious about cooking then it's worth investing in a product that feels good, works well and gives great satisfaction of money well spent.

... And an absolute joy to use! Unmatched balance, supreme sharpness and probably the best piece of kitchen equipment I will ever own (with the obvious exception of a few more Zelite knives to come in the future) . I really cannot recommend these knives highly enough!!!

Superb quality. More than happy with the performance and design. Top class service too.

My second knife from Zelite, and this one is equally outstanding. Beautiful craftsmanship, combined with high quality, make this knife a pleasure to use. I highly recommend purchasing them over bigger brand name knives, you won’t be disappointed.

This is the best Chef’s knife we have ever used, and with the Damascus blade it looks stunning too. Perfectly balanced and incredibly sharp it is a joy to use.

Superb looking knife incredibly sharp Will update later after prolonged use over time

Fabulous knife. Razor sharp, keeps the edge for a long time. Gently wipe the blade against a ceramic steel and you will have a perfectly sharp knife. Best knife I have ever owned. Its been a couple of weeks since I bought this lovely knife, and I thought I would do a little update. First, the handle is exceptionally comfortable, by far the most comfortable knife I have ever used. No matter how long you use it for, or what you are working on, there is no fatigue from the grip. Second, it keeps its edge for ever!! I have gently wiped it down the side of a ceramic steel after several days of use, and the edge was fantastic. Third, for such a large knife, the balance is very good, which gives you superb control and accuracy. Simply put, I am delighted with this knife. I have cooked since I was very young, and this is the best tool I have had in the kitchen. I will not be needing another knife.

The best blade I have ever used only had 30 years in the industry but hey what do I know edge retention fantastic razor edge so easy to keep heads up people buy the matching utility knife

Had a lot of knives over the years, but this one is outstanding. The build quality is superb and it feels very well balanced. It is literally razor sharp and cuts through food so easily. With it being steel of the highest quality, it should keep sharp for longer. Worth every penny.

I use it for general cutting of meat and vegetables. It cuts through raw chicken like butter. I have mostly Global knives but this is so much better. I am so impressed that I have just ordered the 6 inch knife.

awesome knife top quality"

I decided to treat myself to one of these as a birthday present, you do not need a degree in rocket science to see the care that has gone into the presentation and finish of this of this knife, it is a work of art, i opened it to make sure all was ok before putting it away until my birthday next weekend. I will add to this report after i have used it, totally gutted to have missed the lightning deal which has just finished where i could have saved £42,but hey ho its the way it goes. I am still very pleased with my choice though, and see no reason why i will not add to it in the future. After using it for when i do curries all i can say is its a dream and its edge stays and has earned my respect, it never sees the dishwasher and it always lives in its sheath, a truy lovely knife. 6" Paring knife next

My husband recently purchased some Alpha Royal Series as we already have the Japanese version of these knives and have used them for about a year (they are still super sharp and a pleasure to use) and my mother got a bit jealous as she was still using her old knives, had been going on about how excellent they were, so I thought I'd buy them as a gift to keep her happy!!. Along side the Alpha Royals we also purchased some of the latest Executive plus series as the previous Alpha Royals were superb and I expected that these would be no different....I wasn't disappointed!!. The range of photographs attached show the variety of foods that were prepared using the set. Firstly, the Knives arrived in quality packaging. I was particularly impressed, once opened, with the look of the knives in the box both in and out of their protective pouch....they look super cool with the pattern on the blade and were in keeping with the quality look of the other Zelite knives I've seen and used. The knives themselves are super sharp and you need to be extra careful when you first use them and remove them from the pouch. I cut my finger despite expecting them to be this sharp from prior experience with the Japanese versions! Since they arrived on a Saturday my mother was cooking a Sunday dinner the following day , so it was a great chance to try them out for herself. She was particularly impressed at how very well balanced and easy to use they are and don't feel overly heavy in the hand. They sliced through whatever food was being prepared with ease and all done their jobs with extreme ease. These are on a par with Zelites previous range as they continue to produce outstanding quality knives whether for the occasional chef or the more hard-core ones. Either way they are a definite plus for any kitchen and I can't recommend them highly enough. Now the big question for me….. "Do I keep these and give mother my Japanese ones"!! I don't think I would notice the difference either way!! Sleek Looking, Super Sharp....Sensational Zelite Infinity

This knife is perhaps the most comfortable and scarily sharp piece of kitchenware. Everything you’ve ever wanted in a Santoku knife, beautiful to look at and beautiful to use with amazing results. This knife is a piece of art in every way that matters.

I have had this knife for a while and to say I am pleased would be an understatement,it is well balanced sharp in fact a pleasure to use.I have been looking for a good knife for ages and am so pleased I picked this one. I am definitely saving up for a few more.I just love using this knife i do All the sliceing and diceing can’t keep me out of the kitchen. Very nice knife.

Beautiful knife, delivered in beautiful packaging. Very sharp (at least, sharp enough for this home cook). Blade guard is an essential accessory; certainly wouldn't want such a sharp knife lurking in a cluttered drawer. Good to have the robust, total blade cover included. Would I recommend? Without any hesitation.

With the lovely packaging and the leather sheath you know you have bought a quality knife. It's a joy to use too, razor sharp. I look forward to food preparation, never thought I'd say that!

As part of a set it has been performing well in the short time I have had it as are the other knives. Very well presented so would make a great gift for that special occasion. Early days but the knives are keeping an edge and I have had no need to use the ceramic steel as yet. Pleasure to use and make the job easier through good design.

Had been watching this knife for a while and when the price dropped for boxing day decided to order one as wasn't sure if it was worth the price tag. Arrived on time in a very good packaging.The blade has a leather pouch for safety.Feels sturdy and well made. Is heavy but not awkward for chopping. Blade is extremely sharp and chopped vegetables effortlessely. Only time will tell if the sharpness remains.Though on the expensive side, you get what you pay for and is worth the money.I am not a chef but a keen cook and I am extremely happy with the knife. Will definitely recommend it.

Brilliant service. It was a Christmas present for my daughters boyfriend and he loves cooking and was really pleased with the product and is using it all the time.

I am overwhelmed by these knives, they are just beautiful, from the packaging to the balance and then the knife itself, I am very proud to have some in my kitchen. The care that comes through from this family run business is in every detail of my purchase. Thank you Zelite xx

I've never really spent much time in the kitchen, but having great knifes that feel good in the hand and cut so well without any effort makes cooking a pleasure and enjoyable. This is my 4th Zelite knife and my selection of knifes is slowly getting there.
