Will it cut meat bones ?

Accepted Answer

Easily. But I can't guarantee how long the edge will last if you do that continually.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Yes it is made in Germany

Question 3

Is the knife forged?

Accepted Answer

Per Wikipedia: Henckels (Zwilling) knives are manufactured in several ways. The majority of Zwilling knives have blades constructed from high-carbon stainless steel, which is ice-hardened for sharpness and stain resistance, along with a partnership allowing some products constructed using a microcarbide powder steel with clad layers, which are manufactured in Japan. Many Henckels knives are forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, which is cold-hardened to improve stain resistance. This hardening process consists of cryogenic tempering and involves immersing the finished blades in liquid nitrogen. This process completes the conversion of austenite to martensite in order to achieve full hardness of the steel. The process of forging is intended to produce improved edge retention and a reduction in metal fatigue. Most of Zwilling's higher end knives are manufactured in Solingen, Germany, while others, including Henckels branded knives are made in Spain or China. I don't know how to tell which Zwilling knives are definitely forged as opposed to other methods.

Question 4

What are the Dimensions

Accepted Answer

The blade length along the sharpened edge is 7.25 inches long.
The blade width is 3 inches at the nose, 3 1/16 inches wide in the middle (through the belly of the blade) and just under 3 inches at the back, where the handle begins.
The handle is 5 inches long. Due to the geometry and orientation of the handle (palm swell, curve, and drop) the handle rises slightly above the top plane of the blade, so the overall width, including the handle, is 3.5 inches.
The overall length is 12 3/8 inches.
The blade is 1/16 inch thick along the top spine for the entire length. The handle is a hair over 5/8 inches thick.
This Zwilling vegetable cleaver ways 10.5 ounces. For comparison, the Zwilling 6" meat cleaver has a blade that is just over 1/8 inch thick and weighs 16.9 ounces.
=|10.5−16.9| / [(10.5+16.9) / 2]×100
=46.72 % difference in weight!!!
