Mercer Culinary M23830 Millennia Black Handle, 7.5-Inch Wavy Edge, Chef’s Knife

✅ Verified Purchase | 5★ | 1389 found helpful | 2017-06-21

This is one sharp knife. I have 8 stitches in my left index finger to prove it. That, of course, was my fault and the result of a momentary lack of attention while slicing a loaf of ciabatta bread. But I can say with very personal authority that this knife slices cleanly and almost painlessly.

This is a complete scam. These knives are marketed extremely well towards people who are not Knife Makers or Chefs who know their stuff (I’ll start by admitting that I am one of those people, and I fell for this too.

If you read over the negative and positive reviews of this knife sharpener, you’ll find a significant gap between "this is amazing!" and "this thing is a knife-destroying piece of junk!"

The truth is, it’s 100% both.

I read all the reviews, watched the video on line, and took the plunge. I have now sharpened about every item possible and can provide an assessment. This product works and works very well. Knifes (both serrated and straight) scissors, awls and gouges all sharpen right up.

After less than a year of use this poorly made knife snapped right in half while trying to cut a turnip in half (mind you this is a Korean turnip). Good thing I use knife safety or I would have easily slit a thumb or my wrist.
Do not buy this poorly made product, it is a safety hazard.

Amazon Basics 9-Piece Premium Kitchen High-Carbon Stainless-Steel Blades with Pine Wood Knife Block Set, Black

✅ Verified Purchase | 5★ | 656 found helpful | 2016-05-24

I have been a Chef for 17 yrs. and from experience know you don’t get quality in an inexpensive knife set. This AmazonBasics Premium set really impressed me. The knives I use and have at home are mixed matched because I like good hefty knives.

When I bought my Henckels (not the el cheapo Henckels International, mind you) knives I was looking for a sharpening steel but ended up with the pull-through gadget they call a “sharpener”.

The [[ASIN:B003IT5F14 Work Sharp WSKTS Knife and Tool Sharpener]] is exactly the sharpener that I’ve been looking for! It quickly and easily makes a good convex edge on most blades, and it only took me a few minutes to get the hang of it.

I only had two requirements when looking for a knife set for our new home.

1) It had to be affordable. (Have you SEEN the prices on some of these sets?!? Come on, I’m not Alton Brown, here.)

2) I wanted solid knives.

Hampton Forge HMC01E550S Rainbow Titanium – 10 Piece Knife Set with Blade Guards, Stainless Steel

✅ Verified Purchase | 1★ | 545 found helpful | 2014-04-15

First we were charmed by these knives. Very colorful and sharp. But after two weeks of pretty moderate use we’ve got rusty chipped blades. It says Titanium and stainless steel, anodized , I don’t believe it is either one.

Many professional chefs consider a blade sufficiently honed when it cuts through the skin of a tomato with a minimum of pressure being applied—a benchmark commonly referred to as the ’tomato test.

As a user of Chef’s Choice model 110 and 120 for over ten years I had greatly anticipated the release of this new model.Unfortunately some poor design choices prevent me from fully recomending this product.The older M120 provided 3 stages and created a triple bevel edge.

I’ve hand-sharpened knives for 25 or so years now, and have tried nearly every sharpening system and sharpening materials out there. In all of my considerable experience (sorry if that sounds a bit cocky), nothing beats hand-sharpening on flat whetstones that have a high grit, or using a leather…

We bought this set 2 months back after reviewing them on Amazon. Since this is our first knife set I can not really compare with other name brand products in the market. But these were cheapest among the lot, and we are very pleased with their initial quality.

After six weeks of ownership of this knife (Forschner 40547) I can tell you it is mislabeled. It is called a “Bread Knife,” but it should be called a “Bread, Meat, Carving, Sandwich, and Other Stuff Knife."

Here’s how I made a sandwich a few minutes ago.

I am an Executive Chef and have worked in a kitchen for over 25 years. I purchased this sharpener about a month ago and so far I am very satisfied. If you read the manual, it is very easy to use. I was at first worried about taking too much metal off of my kinves.

From all the great reviews here, I was sure the knives were going to be amazing. I was looking for a set of steak knives with a great handle/feel and weight and I thought these were it at a great price. But NO!
