Muy práctico y fácil de manejar

I was not aware that this otherwise finely constructed knife was single bevel, which was difficult at first to use (and definitely a tough task to sharpen), but after some practice became quite manageable for most slicing jobs. The advantage of single bevel knives is that food slides right off the side with each slice, but there is a tendency for the blade to stray to the left, specially when making thin, delicate slices. I would get the santoku as an all purpose knife over this.

A friend of mine who is a Chef at a major 5 star hotel told me once, 'All you need is one good knife." It is the best knife I ever owned and I had some more expensive knives before. The other day I tested it and cut a pineapple to see how sharp it would be the following day, when I wanted to cut a pizza. It cut the pizza like it was nothing. Before someone says something, I do not put pineapple on pizzaIt cuts like a dream and all you need if it ever gets dull is a knife sharpener. My issue is 1 the blade is not sharp and 2 the weight distribution is off. You can easily rock the knife and cut anything you can think of.Now for a $50 knife you are not going to find elaborate ornate details but the craftsmanship is well-made and put together. Whomever crafted and designed the knife, knew what they were doing

Lo mejor es la facilidad para cortar, sobre todo carnes crudas. La relación de precio y calidad es muy favorable. Se siente como un cuchillo de calidad y es muy práctico. Recomendado.

I am a home baker and I have a large collection of cooking knives, from really inexpensive to higher quality, expensive knives. This knife is amazing and up to par with my German forged knives.It comes in a very attractive, well cushioned box and the tip and back are protected with well fitting silicon covers. The beautiful wooden handle has good weight, but is very comfortable to hold. The tang is deeply seated with an uninterrupted forge to help create super durability.The blade is VERY sharp. I can easily slice through tomatoes without any resistance. The curve is perfect allowing me to rock the blade across my cutting board allowing me to create uniform size in whatever I'm slicing or dicing.This is a great, inexpensive, high quality knife and I highly recommend!

I like that this chef knife comes in a box because it can be gifted or stowed away. The knife is razor sharp right out of the box and ready for prepping for that next meal. The handle is good but looks a little dull and I prefer a real wood handle for that extra cosmetic appeal. The blade holds its sharpness for multiple uses but once it gets dull, it accepts a good variety of sharpening techniques and performs well. Easy to handwash and I do not recommend placing in the dishwashing machine because the handle and blade do not have that sheen that a chef knife deserves. Overall, adding this chef knife to my kitchen tool collection allows me the chance to diversify how each knife works well depending on what cut of meat or produce I am handling.

This is by far my favorite knife in the kitchen now. Feels good to use and slices through everything with ease. Cleaning the knife has been a breeze and I have not seen any rust spots pop up at all so far in my month and a half test of the knife. I would have no problem recommending this chef knife to a friend!

I just use one time and it chipped
