Cutluxe Chef Knife 8" – German High Carbon Steel Kitchen Knife, Full Tang | Ergonomic handle with sheath included; hand-sharpened blade at 56 HRC; slices meat, sushi and vegetables with ease

This is our second purchase of the 8” Chef knife. One stays at our house, the other will be for our RV. This knife is sharp, balanced, has a well designed handle that makes every job easy; even cutting spaghetti squash/gourds! I highly recommend this company and product for the quality and affordability. The perfect

Fantastic quality at such a good price! Good weight and balance, very sharp, nice handle, comfortable to hold and use. I actually like it better than my more expensive knife. You won't be sorry if you buy this knife. I'm actually surprised at how good it is for this price.

6-month (4/4/2021) update: I use this knife every day and still haven't sharpened it yet. It still cuts through everything fairly easily. Tomato sometimes needs a poke first, so it's close to needing a pass or two through the sharpener, but come on! Six months of staying sharp? How cool is that? I hand-wash and immediately dry & put back in the plastic sheath it came with, making sure to slide the tip into the little extra bit of plastic. If I had a knife block of some sort then I wouldn't bother, but I'm a little limited on space so it lives in a drawer with it's less-than-awesomely sharp brethren. I still haven't cut myself because you gotta respect this blade. Five stars well earned, Cutluxe! (11/19/2020) This Cutluxe 8" Chef Knife is a serious pro-grade knife. Before I go there, there's no mention of a sheath - so I included a picture of the plastic blade and tip covers that comes with it. I've been very careful with it and 3 months later it's still protecting the knife. It's not meant for long-term protection, but for me it's nice to know that I won't slice my hand reaching for the knife, and the blade won't get scratched up in the drawer. I'll get a better solution soon - a magnetic knife holder or a real sheath - but for now, this works. On to the knife! It will cut pretty much anything. I've never hacked apart frozen green beans before, but this knife cut them clean with no damage to the blade or edge. I have cut apart a rotisserie chicken, but I've never had a knife slice right through the middle, bones and all. Like I bought a spineless chicken! Anything else I've cut using it daily has been great: tomato slices paper-thin or however thick you want. Same for onion. Minced garlic? No problem. Broad blade makes the initial smash easy. At this point I wouldn't be afraid to hack down a tree with it, use it to strip the branches and peel the bark, and carve that tree into a sheath. Hmm, there's an idea... Top grade steel and a full tang for durability. Handle is big, so you want to use the pinch grip at the bolster which is the default for chef's knives anyways. Bolster is contoured beautifully and the balance feels good. Handle is solid. Have I mentioned that I haven't sharpened it ever? It's still just as sharp as the day I got it months ago. All I do to take care of it is hand-wash the blade right away, rinse, and allow to dry before putting it away. Daily use, multiple times a day people. Paper-thin tomato without any ragged edge. Every day. This should have been the Forged in Fire official knife.

Very well balanced with a good weight and feel to the handle. The blade is very sharp, but I have not had long enough to see how it will hold up.

This is really a 5 star knife. I held back because of one manufacturing or design flaw. The blade at the heel is very easy to cut yourself on. It's an easy fix, however. I just hammered the heel to eliminate the point. Otherwise, for the price, this is an excellent knife. Very well balanced, and SHARP!

The best part about Cutluxe knives is the excellent quality steel and my favorite feature is the unique, incredibly comfortable, angled bolster. This knife places itself in your hand in the correct position and after an hour of chopping it won’t cut into your hand. This knife is one of the best quality, most comfortable chefs knives I’ve used and I own many much more expensive knives. I’ve had this for about two months or longer and I use it several times daily and it holds an edge very well, just a few swipes on my ceramic hone (by Mercer) and it’s good as new. It’s a full tang blade, three rivet construction, heavy, squared shape handle. It has a perfect curve for chopping and pivoting. Fits well in a large hand but not too big for an average hand, it’s well balanced and did I mention the angled bolster, so awesome! Now, as I mentioned in my video, there were some finish issues on the handle in the beginning. The metal protruded from the handle on the tang and was quite sharp. I had no issues getting it replaced immediately and the replacement was better. The newest cleaver they just came out with was fine so hopefully Cutluxe has fixed that issue and it seems they have. I love this chefs knife, if you didn’t know what it cost, you would assume this was a couple hundred dollars when you hold it in your hand. It’s amazing you can get a knife this awesome for the unbelievable low price. I own the set, I’m honestly not as in love with all of the set, I don’t like the bread knife, it won’t cut hard bread or the big clumsy paring knife but I can tell you the chefs knife, the cleaver and the boning knife are the big standouts in the Cutluxe lineup. I highly recommend this chef knife as well as the boning and cleaver knife, they are fantastic!

Super sharp!! I'm able to cut raw sweet potatoes with this knife! That's pretty sharp!!!

I've been a Cutluxe customer for years and never needed support; their product is brilliant. I did need support recently, and I have to say, in the 26 years I've been on Amazon, I have never experienced better support. Their product is world-class for beginners and professional cooks alike. And with 5-star after-sales support, you can't lose even months after the sale.

I love these knives, I have the fillet knife and the honing rod. For the price they feel great to use. I got my chef's knife at a Christmas gift, I only just ran it through the sharpener end of April. Amazing blade, well put together, will be buying more of Cutluxe knives.

La verdad fue regalo y me lo pidieron tal cual !

Fabulous knife, cuts through anything easily and smoothly. I had bought the brisket carving knife previously and was impressed. Cutluxe did not disappoint, great weight and quality.

Mia moglie ha preferito la lama da 20 cm , direi che è eccellente in tutto , spero tanto nella longevità di tenere il filo ma credo che la qualità ci sia tutta ! Costoso ma vale i soldi spesi è un piacere usarlo in cucina taglio facile e perfetto su tutto ... Consigliato a chi ama le cose funzionali e belle !

Hay que tener cuidado, corta super bien
