Forged Stainless Steel Chef Knife with EdgeKeeper Self-Sharpening Sheath, 8-Inch

I needed a new kitchen knife but wanted one that replaced my old self-sharpening knife. This knife fitted the bill. Easy to hold and use. Very sharp and cuts through vegetables like green peppers and onions with ease. Very satisfied with purchase.

ótimo custo benefício. Faca bonita.

I have had the 6" knife for over a year and bought the 8" knife because the 6" felt too small in my larger hands. The 8" knife has become my go to for every day use. Sharp and keeps a nice edge with regular maintenance on a honing rod. It's heavier than other chef's knives I've owned but has a healthy bolster and when gripped close to the bolster (see picture) is well balanced and nimble enough for accurate cutting. Handle is solid and smooth with comfortable transitions from the scales to the tang and bolster. The swell is a bit small for me but, as mentioned, I have large hands so this might not be a problem for others. Only downside is the handle is very slick when my hands are wet, so keep that hand towel close. For edge maintenance, don't bother with the built in sharpener. Keep the spine of the knife against the back of the sheath when sheathing and unsheathing the knife and maintain with a honing rod and use a proper cutting board. Finally, these knives are made from carbon steel. They WILL rust if left in contact with water for extended periods of time. I learned this the hard way when I didn't dry the 6" knife completely and found rust spots on the edge the next time I used the knife. Had to remove a good amount of metal to resharpen the blade without the notches in the edge. Are these professional grade knives? No. Are they good knives for a home cook to use, learn with and become proficient at knife maintenance and upkeep without breaking the bank? Absolutely.

Muy buen peso y ajuste en la mano, muy bien filo, creo un excelente cuchillo para el uso en casa. Excelente relación precio beneficio.

Good medium priced knife for the novice chef!
