Review: Después de comprar un cuchillo en el supermercado, y que éste se rompiera en poco tiempo, decidí buscar un mejor cuchillo. Este cuchillo es sumamente filoso y es ideal para rebanar verduras finamente como papa, zanahoria, y calabacitas. El cuchillo de 8" (20 cm) es de tamaño normal para la mayoría de las personas, sin embargo, algunos podrían pensar que es un poco largo. Para esto recomiendo el de 6" (15 cm) que a lo mejor se adapta mejor para quienes tienen manos pequeñas y poco espacio para cortar. Recomiendo también estuches de guarda para evitar que la hoja se golpee en el cajón donde se guarde, y para evitar que alguien accidentalmente se corte con el filo, ya que es bastante afilado. El cuchillo está hecho de acero al alto carbono lo que quiere decir que aunque es un poco más suave que el acero inoxidable, el filo que tiene la hoja es muy fino. También debido a esto el cuchillo requiere de afiladas más constantes para mantenerse en óptimas condiciones. Esto no es un problema para uso casero, pero aquellos que utilicen el cuchillo diariamente de manera profesional deben recordar afilar el cuchillo regularmente con una piedra de acentar. Review: Great knife, very sharp from the packaging. Good balance and a nice handle.

Is it the same as the Renaissance?** A: The knife alone weighs 7.62 oz or, 216 grams **Q: For the "8-inch short bolster forged chef's knife", what's the measurement from the spine to blade edge, at the bolster? the widest part of the knife.** A: That is 1 and 3/4 inch. **Q: Are them dishwasher safe?** A: ABSOLUTELY NOT! You shouldn't ever wash your knives in the dishwasher. The soap is VERY caustic and will eat away the blade edge ruining the knife. I just wash mine with mild dish soap, rinse thoroughly and then dry and put into my knife holder. **Q: This is probably a silly question but... what do you use for sharpening it?** A: We use an Accusharp Knife sharpener and it works great. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***T on 28 June 2019* Después de comprar un cuchillo en el supermercado, y que éste se rompiera en poco tiempo, decidí buscar un mejor cuchillo.
