Chef Knife - Professional 8 Inches, High Carbon Stainless Steel, Ultra Sharp and Ergonomic Handle Perfect for Chopping, Slicing, Dicing & Mincing. Wisdom Series Kitchen Knife

“All you really need is one good chef knife,” wisdom from Michelin masters and the occasional serial killer... and that is why I have a hundred in my cupboards; wink, wink. I’m always on the lookout for that one perfect knife that will make me feel like that one bloke from those commercials. Content with life, hacking footwear like some demented ninja with rage issue towards Nike. I have yet to discover that Excalibur or Mljonir. My shrink say that I’m, perhaps, taxing my hunt with too much passion... I on the other hand think she’s a quack.The Wisdom Knife isn’t the sword from Kill Bill. If God stumbles on your journey for vengeance, and you pull this puppy out, he won’t even get a paper cut. Does that mean this is a bad knife? Nope, it just means you won’t be able to commit wanton acts of Deicide... which is the sort of gold standard every knife should strive for.Knifes of samurai quality cost an arm, a leg and your right testicles; plus your left just as collateral. They are one of a kind contraptions. Truthfully, on less you are Gordon Ramsey, you won’t even feel the difference. For 30 a pop, this is one hell of a swahsbuckler’s needle. It’s sturdy. It’s well built. It has a kickass, dare I say pimped out, sleeve. It manages to retain, even after going Friday the 13th on a stubborn turkey, its sharp edge... it’s not the sort of knife that dulls easily.Ergonomically, it’s actually pretty well balanced and has a rather fancy handle; one that not only doesn’t go all wet-fish and slimy or slippery when caught out in a rainstorm, but one that has a quirky faux- wood like feel.The weight of this monster? It’s pretty light. The makers must have put the materials on a diet. It’s extremely lightweight while also looking strong and not cheap. This baby looks like it can take a wallop and fling back up biting and kicking like a bull.Now, the package deserves a paragraph... this is IPhone quality. For a 30 buck product, the pack really, well, packs a punch. It really leans into the whole zen, taoist, exotic orient motif. The box screams Bruce Lee.I’m going to fess up, I have a couple of knifes, and I’m not exactly careful with them. I’ve pop my fair amount of marmalade jars with them... points going crack from the force of a good vacuum seal. Well, today I went and used this sucker on a mayo jar, it got me out of that pinch and didn’t crack under the pressure.This is an excellent quality knife. It’s jammed to the rafters with different angles. Angles for all your cutting needs - I’m dullard and have no clue what they are for - and I refuse to YouTube my ignorance. Nonetheless, they are there and a good chef will appreciate them.It has a nifty 1 year warranty.I’m still on the fence about the whole giant stenciled logo on its blade. Under the right light it looks groovy. I actually like it. Then my wife comes along and slaps my common sense into place. “It’s bit crass... You wouldn’t know crass if it kicked you in the rear. You love flouncing your brands.” I’m fairly certain she has better taste than me.In a nutshell:“This is an all propose, functioning knife you can take out and use, slice and dice, and if it ever goes wonky, you won’t want to cry yourself to sleep. It’s a heavy duty sucker that will get you out of any cooking bind.”The good:- lightweight.- bang for your buck.- Snake Eye would have loved it.- A sheath you can take to the Prom.- A Pack you could propose too.- doesn’t get slippery.- A warranty.- A blade that might not cut God, but one that does wonders with pork pieces.The Bad:- The funky stenciling. I’m going to give in and high five my wife, otherwise I’ll end up sleeping outside with the raccoons. It’s a personal taste, but if you have no fashion sense, the best thing you can do is conceit to a higher authority.I guess what really drew me in is the fact that you sort of feel like you’re getting a two for one deal. A crafty well thought of knife, that also piques that kid part of you that went hog-wild for useless ninja throwing stars, well, just because they were “cool.”

This product arrived at my home over the weekend, and I am absolutely stunned at what a phenomenal value it is for the money paid. I am an avid home chef and was very pleasantly surprised over its durability and ease in chopping vegetables, fruits, and meats. This is definitely my go-to knife when prepping dinner at this point.On another note, the packaging, while not pictured here (It is in other reviews, I've noticed.) is absolutely lovely. When you're shopping for a house product, you don't expect to feel like you're going to get a present for yourself in the mail. That is exactly what it felt like when I opened the package the other day. It was so fun to feel excited about opening this gorgeous knife and get to cooking. I also greatly appreciate that the knife comes with a protective sheath to keep over it while it sits in my drawer. While I do not have children, this would be a great bonus to keep little hands safe in the kitchen. (It also may keep my clumsy hands safe, as well.)I cannot believe what I received for the purchase of a thirty dollar kitchen knife. I am so very impressed with its quality and will consider gifting it to family members over the holidays. This was a wonderful purchase!

This is a GREAT quality chef's knife for the price. First of all, let me talk about the packaging. It's beautifully presented. It comes in a hard box, sleeved with a hard plastic sheath to ensure that the blade doesn't get damaged and more importantly, you don't slice and dice yourself, with a nice little thank you card in the box.The blade. The good stuff! It's heavy, but too heavy. The weight is well balanced for your hands so it's heavy, but not too heavy so you can maneuver the knife to your will. It presents very nice, with a solid handle as well. Ergonimically, it's quite pleasing. The blade itself will come to you quite sharp. You won't need to sharpen it once you bust it out of the sheath. I was very excited to try it so I took out some hogjawls (pork, like one solid piece of bacon). The knife, with the weight and sharpness, cut right through out. So much so, it cut the hog jawls down in a 3rd of the time it would have taken me with my previous blade (which incidentally was a "ninja" knife from a set. This new knife either proved my old blades were cheap and dull or they were fake. Probably both). I'm quite happy with my purchase and will gladly buy more from this company!

The packaging was the first thing that took me by surprise with this knife. I’ve ordered knives in the past that had flimsy packaging, where you fear you might get hurt opening the package – but not with this knife. The knife as a whole came in a box that accommodates the knife securely, preventing any unfortunate accidents. It’s such a pleasant box, I wouldn’t mind keeping it on my kitchen counter. On top of having a secure box, the knife includes a hard-plastic sheath with a locking mechanism to prevent the blade from slipping out of the sheath. I love this! I’m always so worried with blades, so this is perfect for me.The knife itself is wonderful. The blade came sharp and ready-to-use. It was in pristine condition, no factory defects. The knife sliced through my vegetables with ease. The handle is on the heavy side, but the shape is comfortable, and the weight provided stability. I really loved the wood finish look of the handle too.I wish I found this knife sooner.
