VictorinoxSwiss Classic 8-Inch Chef's Knife with Straight-Edge Blade and Black Handle

Nice weight, well balanced, incredibly sharp, well formed and comfortable handle. In summary, everything a chef's knife should be at a reasonable price. I've only used it for a week so cannot say how the knife will hold the beautiful edge it arrived with, but it is still sharp enough to cut ripe tomato perfectly.

Light weight, well balanced, extreeeemely sharp and with a handle that's comfortable. I put it in the dishwasher and haven't had any trouble. Oh and the price is really nice too.

I own many knives, and I’m not sure why I waited so long before buying this one. Perhaps it was because I already had several expensive knives and felt like I didn’t need another budget knife. Let me tell you, this one is fantastic value.Right out of the box, it came with a great edge, ready to tackle any kitchen task. The ergonomics are impressive, making it comfortable to use for extended periods. Surprisingly, I find myself reaching for this knife more often than some of my pricier ones. There’s a certain ease in using it without the fear of damaging a high-end blade, which makes it perfect for a variety of kitchen chores.• Excellent value for the price• Comes with a sharp edge out of the box• Comfortable ergonomics• Durable and practical for everyday useOverall, this knife has exceeded my expectations. It’s a fantastic addition to my collection and a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable and affordable chef’s knife.

These are a great value. They won't win any beauty contests but they'll outlast prettier knives.The knife is a good weight and balance. Very simplistic comfortable design and is NFS tagged. The steel is very hard and keeps it's sharp edge. I've used this knife for over 10 years now. I just bought this one as a gift.

I’ve owned this knife for a bit over a year I believe, and I have to say it’s an excellent knife. Sure, there are better ones but for about 50 bucks this is a fantastic deal. It keeps its edge well and is very sharp, this really is a quality knife

Victorinox has shown to be the best multi use knife in this price range, compared to all the European and Japanese brands. If you're not willing to spend more than $150 on a chef's knife, this is the reliable and durable one.

The knife arrived very sharp, easy to use and keep clean. I was looking for a new knife that was not very expensive and this knife seems to work.

After using this knife twice at my daughter's home and swearing that I would steal it from her, I bought one for myself. Couldn't be happier with that decision. After 40 years of using an old butcher knife my Dad passed on to me, and banging my knuckles while trying to chop or slice through vegetables and meats, I have a proper blade that is lightweight but sturdy and sharp, with a lifetime guarantee. A sheath would have been nice (because this doesn't fit the knife block Dad made for me), but you can get a sheath that fits like a glove through another amazon seller.
