I got a Royal Elite… I got a Royal Elite after a few years as a Chef and it's been fantastic. Total workhorse in the kitchen doing everything from prepping veggies, to halving lobster. I really can't understate the range of utility this knife fills, and I'm still using it as my main go-to. Easily my favourite knife out there, I love it!

Product not as described Product not as described , these are cheap Chinese junk! Messermeister says made in Germany Not true. DONT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY 200.00 Chinese knife set maybe worth 20.00 at best

MADE IN CHINA I bought an adventure knife kit. When they turned up, felt cheap, MADE IN CHINA stamped down the side too but gave them the benefit of the doubt. The blade is good but overall knife is cheap. Rusts in places that are impossible to keep dry, especially in an outdoor environment. They've chosen cheaper materials internally, no good, not protected and impossible to look after unless I take the thing apart every time. Spoke to Messermeister about it. Said I must've got a bad one or maybe it's just not the product for me and they said tough, it's my problem and I need to keep them bone dry regardless. Gave them so many chances to make it right but they just consistently threw it back in my face - didn't care. Have left reviews on their site to warn others, as I'd have not bought them if I'd known- I assumed they'd be as quality as their other products, made in their German factory even. Their website mentions nothing to make you aware that they're outsourced. The reviews keep being deleted. Shocked at them really. Thought they'd be a company to trust- shame.

Amazing products Love the steel!

Without sounding too dramatic.... Without sounding too dramatic..... My Meridian Elite Chef's knife is life-changing. You don't know what you're missing until you use a high quality knife. From paper thin tomato slices to cutting any protein like it's butter. Run, don't walk, to your shopping cart and press purchase. You won't regret it.
