Reviews

I want to cut everything!

"I can already tell this will become my go-to. The balance, handle, and somewhat forward blade make for an exceptionally versatile, and attractive, kitchen tool. Thank you!"

— nathan p. (5/5)

Not worth the money

"I’ve had it a week and I already feel like it starting g to lose its edge."

— Howard S. (3/5)

"Good balance, nice sharpness. Quality knives"

— Anthony (5/5)

Fantastic little workhorse

"Fantastic little workhorse. Light enough for fine work yet sturdy enough for some serious prepping. I own the carbon Bunka Chef’s by messermeister and while comparing the two, I appreciate they’ve rounded off the top of the steel on the 6. 5” knife. My only complaint and it’s more of how it’s being used than design is that when rocking the knife while cutting the super sharp tip of the knife digs into my board a bit creating little flakes and divots in the rubber. Otherwise very happy with my purchase and look forward to many years of service. Thanks Messermeister!"

— Michael M. (5/5)

Versatile

"Great find. Unique design, sharp lines, nice handle, balanced weight. I purchased a few knifes upgrade my collection. They have all been sidelined I have not put this one down. Use for just about everything chopping,dicing, breaking down meat and poultry and fish. Pretty much replaced my chef knife, utility knife, slicer, and pairing knife. Ok maybe not the pairing knife but it could. Sharp out of the box could have been sharper but a few minutes on a wet stone got it to my liking. I use everyday because its carbon it does stain with certain foods if you let it sit or dont wipe right after. Have not yet tried to polish or clean with barkeeper. Comes with a pack of polish in the box. If you are looking for something that is versatile in everyday use I would recommend. If you are thinking about getting this knife and scrolling though all the reviews dont overthink it. Just do it"

Holiday gift

"Knife was nice, the blade could have been sharper."

20 years in the kitchen

"perfect knife for three hours of constant use a day for the last three weeks. Superb edge retention and doesn't wear you out."

— nathan W. (5/5)

Pratical, Agile, Sharp!

"This knife is the kitchen cutlery I didn't know I needed! It is thoroughly thought out and exquisitely made. The design is so well executed it has taken the place of two kitchen knifes (chef and utility). One more thing. Remember the Sword of Heroes from Kung Fu Panda which was rumored to be so sharp it can cut you just by looking at it? Yeah. It's that sharp!"

— Frank D. (5/5)

Perfect!

"Exactly what I was looking for. Great size, feel and quality. For anyone looking for a practical-sized chef knife, highly recommend."

— Thayer H. (5/5)
