The bolsterless heel simplifies all cutting, sharpening and honing tasks, making use of the entire blade from heel to tip.

We have a great set of the San Moritz and have loved using them for over 15 years. We wanted to try something different, yet still Messermeister. We were not disappointed. This knife is amazing and has quickly become one of the favorite knives in our daily use.

This is my new favorite knife. I just love it. It's beautiful, feels great in the hand, and is so exquisitely sharp - I've used it on everything from meat to melons and it makes food prep effortless. I can't wait to expand my Messermeister collection.

Very well package, cuts very smoothly and gets the job done efficiently!

Not the sharpest. Cutting a tomato was kind of difficult .

My wife and I were given two of the 8 in kitchen knives as wedding gifts years ago and have used them nearly every day since. The knives are amazing and we have started giving them as our default wedding gifts to dear friends because a good knife is well worth the investment.

I loved the feel of heavy knives. The weight the power. Everything changed when I got a Messermeister.

This knife is a work horse. I've owned it for a while now. 4 years! Never been on a Stone, only a steel. Used and abused at this point. It holds an edge and cuts like new. A tad of oil every now and then and back to work. It's a truly beautiful knife I can rely on. I work in a commercial kitchen... it's the knife you've been looking for.
