Victorinox Swiss Classic 8-Inch Chef's Knife with Straight-Edge Blade and Black Handle

I’ve owned this knife for a bit over a year I believe, and I have to say it’s an excellent knife. Sure, there are better ones but for about 50 bucks this is a fantastic deal. It keeps its edge well and is very sharp, this really is a quality knife

Sharp, sturdy, good grip, rips through food, learn to curl in your fingertips while cutting!

Love this knife

I read Wirecutter's testing of many knives and I was loathe to pay $140 for the top recommended knife, but this was the choice if you wanted a "budget knife." Being old, I have to laugh at the "budget" label, as I recall when a knife like this would have been $20 sixty years ago.I carefully pulled the knife from the box, as it was - according to the New York Times Wirecutter review, extremely sharp.I immediately pulled a potato out of the cabinet, put the knife on top of it, and it cut through it as though it was warmed-to-room-temperature butter. Loved it, but being a strong guy, I was awed by how easily it cut through the potato. I also thought I should never handle this knife carelessly. I cut tomatoes, celery (was making clam chowder soup, anyway). And the height of the blade is enough that when you hold it, your hand does not EVER COME NEAR THE COUNTER UNDERNEATH. I'm used to blades not quite as deep.All I can say is: Try It. You'll like it.

After using this knife twice at my daughter's home and swearing that I would steal it from her, I bought one for myself. Couldn't be happier with that decision. After 40 years of using an old butcher knife my Dad passed on to me, and banging my knuckles while trying to chop or slice through vegetables and meats, I have a proper blade that is lightweight but sturdy and sharp, with a lifetime guarantee. A sheath would have been nice (because this doesn't fit the knife block Dad made for me), but you can get a sheath that fits like a glove through another amazon seller.

Es bueno pero no la gran cosa.

Always an excellent knife. Love the way it cuts thru everything. Just my favorite. If I only had one knife this would be it!!

This knife is ridiculously sharp! It makes slicing through anything just like slicing through butter. It is very light weight and has a good balance. The first time I used it I did cut my finger because I wasn't as careful as I should have been because I am not used to using a quality knife so be careful :) Love cutting veggies with this because it slices so nicely.
