Professional Chef Knife 8 inch Chef's Knives, 8 Inch Chef Knife Professional Kitchen Knife, Chefs Knife Professional-German Steel, and Walnut Handle, Includes Finger Guard and Box

Ordered these because I tired of having cheap serrated steak knives that tear more than cut. These are certainly inexpensive steak knives, but I have to say their performance is top notch. Out of the box they have a very keen edge able to shave paper with. I only did minor honing on a leather to make them really excel, but one out of the four didn't even need that! Very pleased. They glide through sirloin and pork chops as if they were the most tender filet. Fit and finish is very good, not quite at the level of $200 sets, but very good. I wouldn't hesitate to set these out on a formal table. Very nice.

Wanted a premium steak knife that was non-serrated but did not want to break the bank with this purchase. I was not familiar with the Legendary Chef brand but decided to take a chance as the reviews from Amazon were very good. The knives work well and can cut a marinated London Broil (inexpensive cut of lean meat) very thin (1/4") across the meats grain. I grilled the London Broil for about 4 to 5 minutes on my George Foreman Grill resulting in the meat being a juicy, medium pink.The knives come in a very nice box that you can present as a gift. After using the knives I decided to purchase another set as a gift. The knives are well balanced and have nice wooden handles. I wash the knives by hand and suggest that you don't put them in the dishwasher to better preserve the wooden handles. I have Cutco and J.A. Henckel knives that were handed down to me. They work very well but cost a great deal more. Will the Legendary Chef knives be passed down to the next generation, only time will tell, but at the price I paid I can afford to purchase another set.

A couple of years back I bought the Amazon Basics serrated steak knives, and I hate them. They are heavy duty and nicely manufactured at the cost, but they are more likely the rip than cut through a piece of fish. These are not serrated; they are very sharp and easily resharpened and they are attractive too. And while more carefully finished steak knives, as well as ones with a more expensive steel, exist, for the money these are very, very good. And the price aside, they are still pretty good at what they do.

I love the hand feel of these knives and the sharp non-serrated edge. However, after a year they started showing rust spots. One reviewer said that is because the blades are high carbon steel, which provides a sharper blade but is more prone to rust than stainless steel. Anyway, the rust can be removed with a rust remover or WD-40. Be sure to clean them with dish soap afterward. I suppose if I did not put them through the dishwasher and instead washed and dried them by hand, rust would not be an issue.

These knives are beautiful, sharp, well-made, and the price is right too. I have a $150 chef knife in my block and these fit right in with a $27 price tag, amazing! The packaging is nice enough to be given as a gift with a magnetic latch presentation gift box. It is very comforting to know that these knives are warrantied for life as well. So let's see how they hold up after a few Delmonico's and Tomahawk ribeyes. I will update after these babies get some real wear and tear on them, but so far so good. Oh, one more thing, I would not advise children to use these knives, they are VERY SHARP!

I bought these for my husband and he loves them! They are very sharp and weighted well. They do tarnish up a bit if you don't dry them after washing but not too bad. We only put them in the dishwasher and never dry them and they still look pretty good. The packaging is gorgeous! It would make a very nice gift. I think they are totally worth the money and are way better quality than the ones you can pick up at the super stores.

My sister asked me to bring knives to Christmas so I bought her these so she’ll always have a backup set. Everyone was pretty impressed with these knives and they were sharp right out of the box. I’m not sure what kind of metal they are but I’m not against cheap metal in certain situations anyway as it is easier to sharpen, it just wouldn’t hold an edge as long.

I absolutely love this knife. The only exception as a Professional Chef is that the bolster (which runs all the way down) prevents me from being able to sharpen the knife in the future. In other words, the further I sharpen the knife, eventually the edge will be higher than the bolster, preventing a perfect cut. I've had a great experience with it so far. Used my first one for about an entire year, however once sharpened, I was not able to cut on a flat cutting board or other surfaces. The bolster ultimately gets in the way. I am now on the search for a new knife!
