Misen 8" Chef Knife - High Carbon Japanese AUS-10 Stainless Steel - German and Japanese Hybrid Blade - Precision Kitchen Knife for Professional and Home Cook - Ultimate Cutting Performance - Black

Knife is very well balanced and very ergonomic. Blade came well sharpened and is fantastic to use. Purchased the knife after combing through many reviews saying it was one of the best economical all around professional knives on the market. Also purchased a whetstone but under normal use should not expect to sharpen the blade more than once to twice a year.

I have bought three of these knives now, the very first one we got was perfect out of the box and almost two years later still quite sharp. Decided to buy another two (one as a gift) and both have been a disappointment and came out blunt out of the box. Did not live up to first one we bought.

This knife is a staple in my knife kit at work (I’m a Cook), very sharp and great quality.

So that's how tomatoes are supposed to be sliced! A great knife, very sharp. First thing if did was take a chunk out of my kitchen sponge, with barely a touch! 😀

This is my 2nd Misen Chef Knife. Love it! Due to my stupidity I broke my first one after having it for 5 years. I have other great knives but the Misen was my favorite. I didn't need to sharpen the first one for over 3 years. AMAZING! The new one arrived and it was like CHRISTMAS in September. I highly recommend it.
