Reviews

Performs well thus far

"I do love a good knife. I have a large selection of Mac and Shun knives we used in our culinary adventures. I purchased the Avanta Kendrick 8" BBQ Knife to support Benny (AKA Kendrick BBQ). Admittedly we have used the knife only once since purchase. I used it to prep and carve a Picanha. The knife worked great scoring the hard fatcap on the Picanha and sliced easily when carving the sirloin roast. I am anxiously awaiting how the knife will perform this summer when I will use it for many outdoor cooks."

Incredible knife

"I got one of these when they first came out and I love it, so much so that I bought one for a friend that is constantly at the BBQ."

— Dan N. (5/5)

All-round keeper

"Love this thing! Good for all the meats and veggies, from thin vertical slices to an incredible rocking chop. It has some heft and is blade-heavy - great for handling those bigger items with ease. The handle is comfortable, though a little thick for my smallish hand. A good all-rounder and definitely a keeper."

— Kathryn D. (5/5)

Great knife!

"A solid, well-constructed knife. Good weight on it. Works beautifully with meat related tasks. I was a little surprised had how agile it was doing smaller prep work. Very sharp with a functional curve on the blade."

— Tim Z. (5/5)

Beautiful knife

"Bought this for a friend as a gift. I've never seen a knife cut a tomato so thin. The knife also feels natural in hand is more beautiful in person. My friend has been using this knife daily when cooking for his family."

— Jesse S. (5/5)
