Wow! just Wow! I have owned several larger Chef knives in the past and they all have nothing on this knife. The handle is very attractive, doesn't splinter like other wooden handles.

Sharp knife! We've been using this knife in our prep kitchen for the past few weeks and we've been impressed with the build quality, weight, and sharpness. Each time before I use it I spend maybe 10-20 seconds sharpening it and it comes out like new. Highly recommend.

I am still very happy with this knife. It comes delivered super sharp and I have yet to sharpen it. I find this to be perfect for most tasks around my kitchen from chopping onions to cutting meats - it's perfect!

The tip bent on ours after not too long. That could have been our fault, but I don't like it as much as the higher priced Mercer knives.

Great quality knife for a great price. The handle is beautiful and the blade comes very sharp. It slices easily without shredding. I wouldn't recommend placing it in the dishwasher but it is easy to clean. It holds up well with a lot of use. I would recommend it.

Just got my order today. I am impressed on how heavy and sturdy this knife is. You can't even tell it is a 10" knife, it looks huge.

This is a large but sturdy knife. The handle is easy to grip and will not slip from your hands. The handle also will not splinter. The blade is very sharp! This is great for everyday use but not dishwasher safe.
