Orblue Chef Knife, 8-Inch High Carbon German Stainless Steel Kitchen Chef's Knife for Cutting, Chopping, Dicing, Slicing & Mincing – Professional Cooking Knife with Ergonomic Handle & Sharp Blade

I own a lot of different types of knives and different brands. I'm not a professional chef by any means, just your average home cook, cooking about 7 meals a week and very rarely some type of sweet baked goods. My go-to knives are usually my Wusthof 6" chef's knife and my KitchenAid 7" santoku knife. In my never-ending quest of searching for better cooking tools, I came across this Orblue knife. I purchased the 8" cooking knife, which is the longest blade I've owned so far. I wasn't really expecting much for a cheap knife $23 knife, anticipating it to be decent like my KitchenAid santoku blade which was similarly $20 in price. I was impressed with how it was packaged and the overall quality. If this was given as a gift, you could have fooled me into thinking this was a $70+ knife. The weight of it is heavier than I expected, definitely heavier than a Wusthof knife, but I prefer heavier knives over lighter. The blade is extremely sharp, well-crafted with a real wooden handle and a stamped metal base. The woodgrain pattern is seemingly etched but in a way that there are no grooves to potentially catch onto ingredients you're chopping. The blade is fantastic, on par with my Wusthof knife, back in its glory days of new, before I let the blade dull and haven't gotten it professionally resharpened yet. It's powerful enough to cut through large sweet potatoes and delicate enough to slice a Roma tomato without completely squishing it. It can mince garlic and fresh herbs like sage and cilantro finer and faster than my other blades. It's also great for carving roast chicken and chopping or filleting raw meat, it's even great for cleaning fish. It's a truly versatile knife. Like other thicker-bladed knives, it's not ideal for chopping butternut squash or melons with tough skin - a cleaver is what you need for those. But for your assorted everyday ingredients, this knife is great! It's my #1 knife in the drawer and my go-to for cooking now. The reviews for the knives seem to include the other varieties, which I read a lot of sarcastic reviews for the bread knife. Ignore those and definitely go with the 8" cooking knife! I'm definitely buying another one for my sister for her birthday.

Exelente producto

Wow! Very sharp and sturdy! A+

For the price this knife is a bargain. It is surprisingly heavy and sturdy. It is also very sharp. I waited a while to review and it remains sturdy and cleans up in a snap. No funky rust like spots or discoloration that can happen with less expensive knives. It came in a box like package that I save and put it back in after I hand wash. I use it a lot as I cook at home frequently and have no complaints.

This knife looks and feels really amazing. It isn't the sharpest knife in the world, but with a little bit of sharpening I think it could be a near professional quality knife. For the price however I think it's unbeatable. It's not bulky like most other knives in this price range, and the design on the blade looks amazing. I think this would make a great addition to any kitchen, and also a really great gift for someone who likes to cook and could use a nicer knife. As someone who owns and frequently uses professional grade knives, this knife definitely seems like it's worth more than what it costs.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I have a few other knives from the same brand and love them.

Dulled quickly

Bought as a secret Santa gift

El cuchillo es muy cómodo por su mango, por el peso y balance para cortes con cadencia... no pierde el filo

Well packed. The tip was a bit bent because of the transport. Happy with the knife.

Arrivato in una scatola rettangolare nera molto carina con alloggio sagomato, istruzioni e un panno per lucidarlo, ero un po' scettico sull'acquisto ma posso dire che il coltello é ben fatto, pesante al punto giusto, manico comodo la lama si vede che é ben fatta e affilata e quindi taglia affetta e trita come pochi altri fanno, un rasoio di 20 cm che fa il suo dovere egregiamente (speriamo il filo della affilatura sia duraturo, acquistato un paio di mesi fa e usato regolarmente per ora non fa una grinza)

Razor blade sharp. Using a sharpning rod or leather is enough to maintain it. Not a knife for beginners
