This knife arrives really sharp and has maintained that edge fairly well over the two years I have had it. I can count on one hand how many times I have had to sharpen it on a wet stone. I do use a steel to hone the blade everytime I use it, and if I'm doing a lot of. Slicing and dicing I may hone it multiple times. Just a couple pulls on each side and it can slice through tomatoes ease and cut herbs without bruising them.
The blade is a little thin for cutting anything that is too hard, like a block of chocolate, but I have a larger, sturdier knife for things like that. But for an everyday knife to chop fruits, veggies, and some meats, it gets the job done. You will not find a better knife for the money. And everyone of my co-workers who have tried it out cannot believe that it cost me less than $10.
I have 2 other Kiwi knives as well, and while this one is my favorite because of the size and utility, they are also of equal quality and have maintained an edge with only one wet stone sharpening each. Kiwi has a customer for life in me!
With all that said, I was actually pleasantly surprised by this knife. The knife is overall lightweight, the handle is a lightweight wood with a half-tang construction which ends up tipping the balance point towards the blade itself, this makes the knife more suitable for a pinch grip (for those less experienced, this is a good thing)
The fit and finish was surprisingly good as well, neither the spine, nor choil has particularly sharp edges, making the pinch grip very comfortable for a 10 dollar knife. While the handle is reasonably fitted to the blade.
Cutting performance is really exceptional for such a low-pricepoint knife, it is by no means exceptional, but the blade is significantly thinner than that of European style knives, this means the blade geometry will make the knife better at cutting soft produce. In order to compensate for the thinness, the steel is not hardened to a very high HRC (probably around 56 I'd say), this means that the edge retention is not particularly good, this knife will need frequent honing if you want to maintain the out-of-the-box sharpness, this is the same as with most low-mid end knives. That said, this knife is so thin and soft that honing is actually quite enough to maintain a decent edge, you will not need to sharpen this knife if you are otherwise used to European knives. And because of the blade geometry, this knife will still cut quite well even when dull.
It should be noted that this knife is NOT intended to handle the same workloads as thicker blades of equal or lesser hardness would. This is absolutely not a knife meant for hard produce such as bones. It is purely a vegetable and filet knife, which it does better than any other knife in this price bracket, from my experience.
Overall, this is an expectational knife for the price. Personally, I grab this knife whenever I just want to do a quick prep without performing the ritual of care that high-end knives require. But I can imagine that if you don't otherwise have a high-end Japanese-style knife, this knife can easily become your favorite knife for vegetables and fileting.
I'm happy to say that the Kiwi chef's knife is exceeding my expectations. It's pretty sharp and due to the thin blade works great for vegetables. The edge showed some small dings out of the box but a honing steel straightened that right out. The blade size and shape works great for both Santoku style down/forward chopping as well as western style rocking chops. Is it the best knife in the world? Maybe not. Is it the best $8 chef's knife in the world? Almost certainly! Iconic and versatile. Great for cooks on a budget, great to give as inexpensive gifts for the cooks in your life! Perfect for RVs and camping.
I can't speak for anyone else: I am not a professional chef.
However, easily one of the only knives I am afraid of because it stays so sharp. For example, if you pack it for camping or leave it in the sink on accident, you should be very careful removing as you will cut yourself just gently brushing against it wrong.
I needed a bigger knife for larger vegetables and cuts, so I purchased this #21 and a #22.
Out of the box, the quality is even better with these bigger knives. It's was even hard to cut something as the knife is cutting into the cutting board so deep on a slice that it was getting wedged with just the small amount of weight from the knife.
Very easy to Hone, very light, stays sharp, feels balanced. A joy to cook with. Fantastic value.

La punta rotonda permette anche di tagliare le erbette in pezzettini.
Natürlich kann es von der Qualität nicht mit mit meinem Wüsthoff das 10x so teuer war mithalten, aber ich nutze es tatsächlich sehr viel lieber, es ist ein einfaches, aber sehr ehrliches Messer.
Die Klingenform ist sehr praktisch, sei es zum schneiden, oder um das Geschnittene in Topf/Pfanne zu befördern, vor allem für Gemüse, oder um Kräuter zu hacken, es ist aber auch eine sehr gute Allzweckklinge, außer vielleicht für Tiefgefrorenes oder große Knochen.
Die Klinge ist recht dünn und ein bisschen flexibel, was ich aber nicht als Nachteil empfinde. Durch das günstige gestanzte Blech lässt es sich mit einem Wetzstahl sehr einfach und ziemlich lange auf einer super Gebrauchsschärfe halten, und auch unkompliziert nachschärfen.
Fazit:
Günstig, leicht, sehr scharf, super low-tech Messer!
Sehr zu empfehlen.
