Etens Sharp Chef Knife, 8 Inch Meat Knife Cooking Chefs Knives, Carbon Stainless Steel Professional Kitchen Knife with Gift Box

Excelente para cortar carne

The knife arrived pretty sharp, I didn't feel the need to give it some additional pre-use care. I tried to use it as my main knife for a few weeks and I was pleasantly surprised that it held up better than expected. The only mild complaint I have is that it's not the most comfortable to use for extended periods of time in my big hands. I don't have this issue with other knives, and my wife is able to use it comfortably, so your mileage may vary.If you care about aesthetics, this knife is also pretty beautiful. The Damascus Steel esque design is quite pleasing.

The media could not be loaded.  Highly recommend!!

This is a great knife. It's a solid performer, comes very sharp from the factory, and the fit and finish is actually REALLY surprising for the money. It'll easily outperform similarly-priced knives at your local department store... And yes, it's etched, but it looks great! For $30, I consider this a 'beater,' but if your beater can look nice, why not? It's a nice enough knife that it's giftable. If you can put a good edge on it, you can make this really sharp, and it does actually hold it's edge pretty well. For the money, it's hard to beat.

I’ll start by admitting I’m not a chef. I enjoy cooking though and can certainly appreciate a good, sharp knife. The knife comes in a gift box and is decorative with a wood handle and etched blade. Of course, the most important thing to know is just how incredibly sharp it is! It is a comfortable weight, easy to hold, and I was impressed with how quickly I was able to food prep for the week. I used it for the first time to make chicken souvlaki and as you can see in the photos, it cut the tomatoes and red onion paper thin. For this price point, I find it to be a value for the money. Sadly, it is not dishwasher safe but it was easy to clean. All in all, I really like this knife and use it regularly when preparing meals.

This is a good looking knife. It comes in a nice decorative case although it's just for presentation, not something you would keep it in long-term. The first thing you notice is the lines on the blade. They make it look like Damascus steel (it's not) by etching the lines in the surface of the blade.The blade itself is made from 7Cr17Mov steel which isn't the best steel for knives. It has a hardness rated somewhere between HRC 55 and 59. A quality knife will have an HRC rating of 58 to 60, but those are also made of higher quality steel. This type of steel is not as tough and will not hold an edge as well.At 8 inches it's a good length for most of my needs. It is well balanced and feels comfortable to hold. The silver endcap on the handle doesn't mate up perfectly with the wooden portion of the handle which creates a small catch.The knife is very sharp right out of the box. It feels comfortable to hold although I wish it was just a little bit heavier. As expected, it cuts very nicely. You can help prolong the cutting edge by only using it on appropriate surfaces. Avoid cutting on glass, metal, granite or any other very hard surface. Always use a cutting board, or even better, use a wooden end-grain cutting board.This is a good looking knife that cuts well. It's a good value at this price.

So I'm not a foodie or a chef by any means, so I am not picky about knives at all. I thought maybe if I had a better knife my time in the kitchen wouldn't be so miserable, lol.And I was right! This knife feels very comfortable in my hand, it's not super heavy or awkward to use, even with my subpar knife skills. I chopped some veggies and it took half the time it normally takes me.So if you're looking for an upgrade but don't want to break the bank, I def recommend this knife!
