ZELITE INFINITY Utility Knife 6 Inch >> Executive-Plus Series >> Japanese AUS10 Super Steel 45 Layer Damascus, Incredible G10 Handle, Full-tang, Ultra Exclusive Razor Sharp Petty Blade

This knife is truly excellent. The balance is good, it is very well sharpened out of the box and the fit and finish is fantastic. Apart from the cutting edge there isn't a sharp edge on the knife anywhere, everything is smooth, rounded and all joints are flush. The blade itself seems well made and cuts wonderfully.I already own a set of Zwilling Pro and Miyabi knives and this really is comparable even though those were far more expensive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this knife and will definitely buy more in the future.

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.

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

The knife arrived in a sturdy box with a magnetic seal, which was an unexpected touch of class.I've now used it a few times for general cooking (peeling, slicing meat, chopping veg, etc) and it's excellent. A good sharp blade with lovely folded steel patination, a sturdy and comfortable handle, good balance and a nice weight to it.My wife used it once and nearly removed the top of her finger - and now refuses to ever use it again - so I can testify to its sharpness.I'm hoping that this knife will last for the next few decades having recently retired an excellent Sheffield steel knife which started life in my parent's kitchen in the 1970s but had lost about half the steel through sharpening along with the handle falling apart a few times and being re-glued over the years.My only concern is that, with such hard steel, an accidental drop might cause a chip in the blade. But that's just a worry and not a reality so far. I've ordered a fine ceramic steel for keeping the blade sharp as my old steel doesn't seem quite up to the job.All in all, I'm a happy customer.
