We bought this for my husband for Father's Day and had it personalized. He is a restaurant manager and does it all, from the cooking to the back of the house management. He also loves to cook at home, and chef knives are his favorite. The order process was easy, and there was a question with my engraving and customer service communicated very quickly after I placed the order to clear it up. Every aspect of ordering from here was perfect. He absolutely loves his knife and has been using it all the time. We have ordered before and will definitely order again. Thank you!

Every bit as impressive as my Olivia Elite. Great feel and edge. And the Indigo handle looks fantastic. I’m getting the custom utility and santoku next!

I received this knife just in time for Christmas dinner! The quality is so consistent; this knife is just as beautiful as my other Messermeister knives. It is sharp, slicing the prime rib effortlessly, and so well balanced.

I have some past experience with Messermeister and when I learned about the "Custom" Series, of course I had to try one. I ordered the Chefs knife w/8 inch blade and have been using it for several weeks. The price was attractive, the handle material was interesting and the stamped steel, intriguing. Well, the handle is great, very comfortable and secure feeling in the hand, especially when wet-it becomes almost tacky, a wonderful feeling of control for a wet knife!! The steel is excellent. It takes - and holds -a very sharp edge and the blade shape and geometry make it very easy to use.
In short it is the first knife in my block I reach for, unless I need a longer blade.
Ausgezeichnet - Messermeister!!

By far my favorite knife I’ve ever owned. Plan to get another as soon as I can for my work knife.
Carlos R.
I have been using for a few weeks now and just love the feel and balance of this knife. The build quality is excellent and the handle just right for my big hands.

What a “go-to” knife…
Straightforward and fits my hand well… holds a great edge. Everything I expected!
