There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My only complaint might just be operator error: the blade is so smooth and flat and polished that sliced vegetables tend to form a vacuum seal against it, making very deep cuts somewhat difficult and the veggies disinclined to let go of the blade even after being sliced.
The grind marks are readily apparent on the edge but don’t negatively affect its cutting ability. I stropped mine in the first week, and have only put it on a steel once a week since then and it still sliced tomatoes easily 6 weeks later. When it started having trouble with tomatoes I just gave it a good stropping and it was like new again.
Overall I am extremely happy with this knife and I’ve used for everything from breaking down a chicken to carving a roast to chopping, slicing, and mincing fruits and veggies, and every other kind of meal prep task you can imagine. If you’re a cook on a budget, get this, you won’t be disappointed.
I haven't had it long enough to comment on edge retention, but I do run it across some ceramic sticks each time I use it and so far it's still razor sharp. Cleaning the knife is easy and quick. There aren't any cracks or openings for stuff to get embedded into and the grip, while grippy, isn't sticky.
One thing I have noticed is if I lay it out to air dry and there are drops of water left on the blade, there will sometimes be small surface rust spots when I come back to put it away. It wipes right off and leaves no pitting but I wouldn't expect this from stainless steel.
I will probably not be buying any $100+ chefs knives anymore after finding this one, unless I want something flashy to show off.
Knife blade cuts very good, a tender feel to the carrot and potato not unlike the flesh of a meat. After many choppings, a buttery goodness is felt in the hands. However, after 10 next times, knife loses it's luster. Does not chop as good. It uses knife sharpener to repair, which shows some improvement, however not as good as when came in box from Amazon. Perhaps knife sharpener you have is not good enough, but since knife loses luster so quickly we have concerns. Still better than knife in knife set, and good value for pricings. May not be better knifes for this many monies so maybe you should buy, maybe not. Much patience is wanted perhaps. Good Day.
LOOK NO MORE!
This knife will make your kitchen burdens easier without putting you through even more loathsome debt. Those German bastards have made an excellent knife for super cheap. It's made for pro cooks and chefs and that makes it perfect for that linoleum lined space around your oven. If you've ever seen any cooking shows on your rabbit ear TV you've probably seen those guys grip their knives in a certain way, If you've ever tried that grip on your Paula Dean knife you'll wind up scraping the skin off the inside of your finger off. NOT SO HERE! They rounded the edge of the spine so it actually encourages the proper grip. And the edge is fricken fantastic. That tomato gets sliced in one go. ONE GO! I love this knife.
I think you will too.
Overall I highly recommend as a starter knife or a beater. In my opinion anything with a double bevel used as a workhorse should be cheap and replaceable. The most important pieces of cutting equipment in any kitchen are the sharpening tool & hone. Use it often and buy quality. They can take cheap knives like this to that special happy place.

Coltello che taglia in modo eccelso. Impugnatura morbida ma salda grazie al manico antiscivolo. L'acciaio non e' molto duro, infatti ho perso il filo dopo circa 5 mesi (e quindi va affilato con una pietra).
Finora sono rimasto molto soddisfatto: non si e' mai scheggiato fino ad ora e taglio di tutto.
