Great knife

"I love that they had a 6 inch chefs knife because I'm a woman with small hands, and it works perfectly for me. The weight and balance of the knife is lovely and I can cut my vegetables with ease, its a lot of fun to use. Fantastic brand and knife!"

Meridian Elite Chef's Knife - 6"

"We have multiple Meridian Elite Chef's knives. We had a problem with the 6" knife because the middle rivet came loose and began migrating out on one side. None of our Meridian knives have ever been in the dishwasher so I'm not sure of the root cause. Regardless, the good folks at Messermeister quickly replaced it after we sent them close up pictures. We consider this a rarity, love the knives, and the outstanding customer service cinches the deal. 5 stars."
