MasterClass Chef Knife with Knife Sharpener Sheath EdgeKeeper, Stainless Steel, 20 cm ( 8"), Black

I bought this knife mainly for use with cutting fresh vegetables... been used to cut onions, celery, peppers and so far it has cut through them with ease and very little pressure.I have a problem with my hands being very weak and having to be super careful when trying it out...but using this knife along with an aid to hold the vegetables it has been a lot easier for me to use than anticipated.The handle feels very comfortable to hold and I had no issues with gripping the handle.It is extremely sharp and I am very mindful of this when removing it from and putting it back into the sheath.The knife slides in and out of the sheath with very little effort. I purposely wanted a safety sheath with the knife as they do make handling a lot safer.all in all I am very happy with this knife and I think it is good value for money.

Sharp out of the package, the included sharpener is OK but not great, I would buy a seperate one however the sheathe is still very nice. It seems to keep its edge as well as any other knife I've used. The handle is solid, this blade is full tang and feels nice in the hand. The blade length is ideal for a utility knife doing generic cutting.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Feels solid especially the handle , sharpening is very easy . Can be unsheathed one handed. Not good balance and for the price I would still say highly recommended cheap knife . Sheath is light and good design, plastic and tough .

Excellent knife.

Bought this nice little kitchen knife to keep in our camping kitchen set and it's quickly become the best knife we have in the whole house. This is a seriously sharp knife.

I've always been a cook's knife user rather than a chef's knife person and a 6 inch Sabatier blade has always served me well for everything filleting fish to slicing meat, peeling veg and slicing it into sometimes paper-thin slices. It doesn't cut the mustard though when chopping up really tough veg like swedes; this knife doesn't either, so a hefty eight inch chopper is sometimes called for.Sadly, this Masterclass pairing knife has rendered my favourite knife somewhat redundant and I feel a bit guilty about that. This is down to the incredible sharpness that is maintained every time it is put in and pulled out of the sheath, therefore doesn't need manual sharpening, unlike most other knives. Maybe I've just become lazy thanks to how low maintenance, well-balanced and adaptable this knife truly is.Incredibly impressed with the one at home, I bought another one for work and it's difficult to access to it at breaks because other people are often using it. Every single colleague has asked where it was bought from and some have already purchased one.This knife is one of those rare products that a mere 5 stars rating doesn't do it justice.

Very sharp
