Commercial CHEF Professional Chef Knife with Sharpener - 8 Inch Chef's Knives - Well Balanced Full Tang Ultra Sharp Kitchen Knife - High Carbon Stainless Steel - Long Lasting Cooking Knife - Gift Box

I would have never thought that I would LOVE a knife. And I thought all knives were more or less similar if I got a good brand. Oh was I wrong! I don't know how I could have worked with my previous knives after using this one.I am a vegan so my cooking requires a lot of cutting of vegetables, mincing, and chopping. This knife makes these tasks enjoyable and fast.The knife is sharp, it has a nice size, it has a nice weight, and it feels comfortable. I highly recommend it to people that cooks with lot of vegetables and nuts.

Very sharp and easy to use but a little heavier knife.

This knife cuts through meat as easy as cutting through a hair strand.

I purchased this 8-inch knife when it caught my attention. It is beautiful kitchen knife and looks like it may last me a lifetime.First let me discuss the CONS of this product and why I gave it a 2-star rating. If not for these, I would have given this a 5-star rating.1. When I took out the sealed shrink-wrap product box from the Amazon shipping box - it pricked my hand - yes I ended up having my finger with a band-aid. Reason? BAD Quality Control - the knife was not securely held inside, it came loose, pierced the box and the knife sharp end point was protruding outside the box. When I opened the package - I saw that the end-plastic-cover was not put in placed and it was just at the side of the box. See photo I posted.2. The blade end near the handle chipped off (see photo). This is a manufacturing issue - the Quality Control department should have caught all these issues. I am not sure if I can straightened up that area, make the chipped-off area disappear by sharpening it. Again - I should not be doing this repair since this is a brand new knife.Now with the above issues out of the way, here are the PROS for this knife.1. Great price (if not for those CONS mentioned above)2. Extremely sharp. It passed my paper and tomato cutting test.3. It looks like a full-tang (I said looks like because the only way to be 100% sure is to remove the handle and physically see)4. The tang is securely hold by 3-rivets.5. The weight is solid, substantial, comfy to hold and perfect for my hand.With the facts above, should you buy this or not?

This 8” chef knife with sharpener is a phenomenal bang for the buck!Extremely sharp right out of the box.Its full tang includes the tail “cap” and the bolster.The G10 handle with 3 rivets is super smooth and comfortable in my medium sized hands.Its fairly heavy weight gives it a rock solid feel for great control over an extended time of use.The sharpener is a wonderful bonus item.I wouldn’t hesitate to rate this 5 stars but, I have to reduce that to 2 stars because as the picture shows, it does have serious manufacturing flaws on the blade.There are a substantial number of what appear to be “brushing” gouges on the blade, the deepest gouges being near the tip.Of greater concern is the blunt (broken off?) tip of the blade. This is how it came from the manufacturer.I’ll attempt to sharpen it back to a point but, obviously, a customer shouldn’t have to try to repair a brand new beautiful knife.Perhaps quality control needs to be reevaluated…CHEF KNIFE REVIEW UPDATE - 11/18/22I’m changing my 2 STAR rating to 5 STARS. The HIGH QUALITY of this chef knife and now also the PHENOMENAL CUSTOMER SERVICE of this company truly rates more than 5 stars.Jon from Primo Brands went FAR BEYOND my expectations to make sure I’d be a satisfied customer. His excellent service is why I’ll gladly support Primo Brands in the future.

The media could not be loaded. I was in search of a quality Chef's Knife to add to my knife set. This is a full tang knife so there isn't any concern about the blade breaking away from the handle. It is very solid and extremely sharp! It came in a nice box with a sharpening tool so it would also make a great gift.I do a ton of cooking at home and go through a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits. I also prepare a lot of fresh meat so this will make my prep time go much smoother. It doesn't take much effort to cut due to the blade sharpness and the weight of the knife. This has cut down on my meal prep time and made the process enjoyable. This is a great chef's knife and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to add to their set!

I had been looking for a good quality chef knife and so many others were too light. When you really enjoy cooking, you probably want a heavier weight to your knife rather than the typical "light weight" available today. A reasonably heavy knife helps you feel more comfortable and more confident because it just feels more stable in your hand. This blade delivers. It's definitely not too heavy, but also not so light that you have to exert more pressure just to cut or slice. And sharp? YES! This knife comes with a sharpener, but out of the box, it's able to slice through a tomato so fine that you can see through it! And slicing through a steak feels like you're cutting through butter! Practically effortless! Of course it is recommended to be hand washed to prevent staining and rust spots, but I would recommend that with all fine cutlery. If you're looking for a good quality knife that feels good in your hand and is sharp enough to slice through anything with very little effort, this is probably a great choice for you!
