Biggest disappointment ever...
1 Star
Biggest disappointment ever...
Actually, I'm so glad Amazon asked for my review. To say we are disappointed with this knife would be an understatement. It is not as sharp as many of the old knives we already had and it was highly reviewed. It was very expensive and I would send it back in a heartbeat if I could.The biggest disappointment of this purchase is that I have to listen to my significant other complain about the knife every time she uses it… here we are at the height of the Jersey tomato season, and it won't even slice a tomato.You would think someone at Amazon (or Messermeister) would suggest we return it. Well they didn't and the date is past. I'm posting this to Facebook today:I bought an expensive knife via Amazon that, a couple of months later, is too dull to cut even a tomato. The only thing it does well is whack off the ends of corn cobs so we can microwave them in their husk...using it as a cleaver seems to work fine. I looked on Amazon and found out that any chance of returning this item is long past (it's Sept. 14 and they say Aug. 2 was the last date). It's ironic because quite a while ago, I posted on Amazon reviews how disappointed we were by this purchase. I naively thought somebody would suggest we return it! Oh well. Maybe I can warn others to avoid this item/brand: Messermeister Meridian Elite 9-Inch Chefs Knife
