Absolute Beauty!

This knife started it all. From the sleek and attractive design to it's phenomenally sharp blade, this knife brought me into the fold when it comes to understanding how a good knife can make all the difference. I am actively building my Miyabi Kaizen collection because this knife has changed the way I look at being in the kitchen!!

Home Cook's Dream

The knife makes you feel like a professional in the kitchen. No more awkward handles, or dull knives. This baby knows what it's doing and treats you right. It's sharp and feels fantastic to hold. And it's beautiful, to boot. I will be taking good care of this knife, so that it will take care of me for years to come.

Love knife but..

This is my first expensive knife. I purchased the 8" Kazen Chefs knife.The knife is beautiful, feels great when using and sharp. I did notice some marks on the knife under the wavy part. Thought to myself well ok it is hand forged. But when I registered my knife I was offered 3 options for this knife and mine stated "visual imperfections" - the different options was NOT offered nor was it disclosed that the knife would have visual imperfections. This feels deceptive to me and impacted my positive feelings about Zwilling.

Outstanding knife

Very impressed with the quality of the knife, the sharpness of the blade and how well it keeps it's edge. Otherwise, well, it's a knife and right now, it's my #1 knife that i use for most things, unless they're hard or frozen, then I just get my #2 knife.

Fantastic knife

Gave this knife to my husband for his birthday and he absolutely loved it. He specifically liked the weight of it, the design/finish on the blade, and the handle. I think it's his favorite gift he's ever received.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.

30-Day Returns

Return all new, unused, and unassembled items in their original packaging, and we'll give you a full refund minus the cost of the original AND return shipping.
