How long does this knife last with regular daily use?

Excellent so far, but have not had it very long -- only this garden season.

It will last forever with regular use. I had one for about 10 years and a friend used it and broke it by pushing it in the ground all the way and bending it back. I was so upset because there is no other garden tool that does the job this one does. It is absolutely the best. Don't buy a cheap one = this one is a real workhorse and you will be happy with it!

Hi, Mine is at least 3 years old. The handle is perfect and the blade is as sharp as when it was new. I never leave it outside. I always sleeve it inside the pouch and bring it inside the garage. It's a great tool. JLM

I use the knife almost daily, and probably sharpen it monthly or bi-monthly. It is the best knife that I have found for prepping veggies.

Ours has seen heavy usage for over two years, and I still don't think it needs sharpening. It still slices easily.

It's actually quite comfortable. I can't think of a scenario you would use a knife like this long enough to be uncomfortable. I have carried this knife as for about 5 years daily use, and never found it uncomfortable.

I'm not sure as far as that goes but I can say I used it as my edc for almost a year, and the only reason I stopped was bc I purchased a new knife. It's great, especially for the price, I used it for everything from a screw driver to a hammer and the thing only that "I" messed up on it was nicks in the handle (obviously from using it as hammer) Sheath held up nicely (still perfectly fine) and the blade is surprisingly sturdy. I honed the blade once a week only because I'm particular about the edge. I would purchase it again if I needed to. It withstood all my tests. BTW I work in a fabrication/semi repair shop.

Mine is over 2 years now and still the one kitchen tool I would not ever give up. Actually, I had their 2-handle version before I bought this one; the 2 handled one lasted over 9 years. I only replaced it because the one handle was really fantastic.

I use mine every day for cooking, drinking and occasional cleaning with the strong stuff. Lasted about a year until I started seeing little white "chips" in the water. I'm definitely getting another one.

I have had good use without trouble. I am not a commercial knife sharpener so I wouldnt be able to comment on wear at that rate of use. But, at home I am perfectly happy with it.

I only use them 5 times per month and they stay sharp for 6/9 months. I do use a steel on them with every use.

I can not be too specific..but it is a quality made item...and appears it will last quite a while. If it only a couple of years...I would buy another. It's $5.99. It is much cheaper than buying new knives. Gave each one of my kids one for Christmas..they love it too. Just give it a quick cleaning after use.

I don't know if it has been a year, but a pretty long time. It has remained sharp. I can't say I use it every day or every week though. I have liked this product from the beginning. It has a good weight and balance. And the edge is still sharp.

I haven't had to mis use the knife so I couldn't say. But I am very happy with it. It feels to me that it stays locked if mine were to come unlocked then I Shirley was misusing it. I carry mine everyday

There is a lifetime warranty. This is a top quality knife/tool that has served me well.

I carry this knife every day, and haven't had an issue whatsoever. The spring assist is very strong, and it does just as well now as it did new.

I would think you could tell when your knives no longer cut properly. Also I don't need to use it that often, so I believe for me it will last quite a while.

I bought one Zyliss bread knife for me and one for my son and his wife. Mine sits on a cutting board on my counter and has been used daily for almost a year. Great knife! I have 2 other bread knives that have been "retired" and are only used if I need to take a bread knife to another place. My son is happy with the knife I gave him but they did not have any other serrated knife so I imagine he would have been happy with any serrated knife.

I'll spend a good half hour stone sharpening it, and use a sharpening steel daily on it. After a stone sharpening, it goes dull in less than a week. Not sure if its factors I control (storage, improper use of stone, etc.) Or if the knife just goes dull that fast anyways. Yes, I use it in a professional kitchen. Its why I bought this knife, so I could have a decent one at work.
