Review: Great knife! - I have now had this knife for over 6 years! I am very impressed with it and have grown to prefer it over my zwilling profession s (granted 8inch vs this one at 6inch). I am kind of a knife guy. Very impressed with the balance, weight, feel and cutting. I sharpen tools for my woodworking and this knife takes an edge very nicely on resharpening. For the money, its amazing in my opinion.
Review: Excellent knife, great price! - Very well made, sharp chef’s knife. Has quickly become my “go to” knife in the kitchen. Handle is comfortable and robust. Works well, with my large Hands. Price is very reasonable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great knife!
*by T***I on December 28, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent knife, great price!
*by N***A on September 24, 2025*

Very well made, sharp chef’s knife. Has quickly become my “go to” knife in the kitchen. Handle is comfortable and robust. Works well, with my large Hands. Price is very reasonable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best is relative - this is my new favorite chef's knife.
*by M***S on February 26, 2024*

I am a home cook with aspirations to improve my culinary skills. I am also an artist who has worked with and for a few knife makers, so i know more than the average person about them. This is not a high-end knife, but it is for me, the perfect chef's knife. The rubberized grip is very secure, even with wet hands. The 6" blade length is what I feel most comfortable using day to day, even though 8" or longer blades are the standard. The thin profile is exceptional for fine slicing and dicing, and most of my time is spent on prep. It's not flashy, but it is well made with a full tang and good steel that holds an edge (according to reviewers). It's stainless, not high carbon, and it will not impress anyone, but it is well suited to a kitchen and also very affordable. This is fortunate because my wife has already shown an interest in it... and I can see I'm going to have to buy another one!
