comfortable and sharp. Seems to hold up pretty well to daily usage without too much sharpening or steeling

Ordered this after reading favorably about it on Apartment Therapy and the other reviews here. Used it for the first time last night and it’s great! Lightweight and sharp, it diced an onion, chopped some herbs, and cut up some chicken. Can’t believe I went so long without it. Will probably order a few more in this line later on.

This knife was surprisingly sharp right out of the package. This knife is huge and quite long (my first impression was that it was a scary knife because it is so large and sharp). I specifically purchased this long 10″ knife for cutting large items such as squash and watermelon. (I also have Wusthof Classic 8″ chef’s and 7″ santoku knives that did not handle those jobs to my satisfaction.) I have not yet used it for those jobs, but I have used it for others. Since I am not expecting that this product will be my workhorse knife, the low price was attractive (also I got it on sale for approx. half its normal price – an incredible value).
This knife sliced through a very large, hard turnip and a bunch of large dense carrots like butter! I know the Wusthofs would have bogged down. It cuts through lettuce like tissue paper. This knife is solid, rigid and has a quite thick blade. I would have expected it to be more flimsy based on the price, but it is high quality made in Switzerland (also surprising that it is not made in China for its low price). Although it is a stamped (not forged) knife, the stainless steel and heft seem of equal quality to my Wusthof (although I have not compared in fine detail). I was surprised that a stamped knife would be so nice. The handle is not so great ergonomically, but it does the job.
I have not yet tried sharpening the knife and have not used it long enough to judge how it holds its edge.
Cook’s Illustrated / America’s Test Kitchen has recommended the 8″ version of this knife as its top pick.

I have owned many different high end knives over the years and this inexpensive knife wins the prize for sharpness and ease of handling. It is a pleasure to use.
I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to use excellent kitchen tools plus the price was sooo right!! Don’t hesitate to buy it. You’ll be happily surprised.

This knife is well balanced and made with high quality steel. I think the real test of a knife is how well it resharpens because I prepare two or three meals a day. Using the spyderco Tri Angle Sharpmaker System I am able to maintain a sharp blade easily with a dozen or so strokes on each side. The edge retention is excellent. This is a big knife that excels at cutting large vegetables.
