Pros & Cons
Pros
The victorinox is the easiest knife to use to chop anything you need to chop. These knives aren’t and still offer many of the properties that japanese black carbon steel offer like the 10 degree angle which is the most important difference in cutlery.... Read More
This is the best kitchen chef's knife i've ever owned. Its length/ergonomics fits me perfectly for all kinds of food prep jobs, and slices finished dishes beautifully. It was recommended by one of the chef instructors on america's test kitchen. Highly... Read More
Novocaine, water rinse, stitching, and an it's-about-time tetanus booster. I use a well known electric sharpener that creates a new edge.
The mottled plastic handle is solidly non-slip in my hand. It doesn't feel unsteady or unsafe.
Cons
This is not worth the packaging it came in. It needs to be sharpened every time before use. After using it for six months, the blade is dull.
Highlights
Quality
The quality of this knife is excellent and the knife is very sharp
It has good balance, the grip works and the edge is excellent.
Atk really does test their products and this knife has been top pick twice.
I put a 14 dps edge on it to 1,000 grit diamond--coarser than my hand stones--and now it falls through a tomato!
Price
Very good for the price, surprised it doesn’t cost more.
A great medium priced knife addition for the kitchen.
This so good for the right price that i threw away my j.
I still recommend this device for the money.
Packaging/appearance
Right out of the box, it came with a great edge, ready to tackle any kitchen task.
Competitiveness
This knife works better than my wusthof ($95) and $250 japanese knives i own.
I have many wushof and zwilling knives but this one is better.
I have friends that have spent three times as much on other brands for the same style and size as this knife and they still don’t compare.
The cost is very reasonable compared to other options.
