My personal experience with this knife confirms the article's selection as best chef's knife. I have done quick work of all types of vegetables, raw and cooked meats and fish and very easily sliced through a thick cantaloupe.
This knife is very sharp! One can slice very thin or thick. I have not needed to sharpen it yet but I do use a steel before each use. It weighs just a tad over 6 oz. and is eight inches in length. So it's light and not too long. 10 inch chef knives are too long for most home chefs. It feels balanced in your hand giving you great control. Dicing is a breeze too. Very quick. The handle won't slip and blade depth is deep enough so your knuckles won't make contact with the cutting board. I don't use my other knives much anymore.
The other chef in the house says this "...is a dangerous knife, thin enough and very sharp!" Ha Ha.
The Victorinox 40520 sells for about $40 but compares favorably with $200 Asian knives like santokus. However, if you don't own a sharpener made for Asian blades and you are not using a stone to maintain your Victorinox, you will need to spend some more money to purchase an Asian sharpener. This is because the angle of the knife edge of this knife is steeper than European chef's knives. If you use an old school sharpener, you will ruin the edge of this knife. So your total cost will be closer to $85. Still worth it in my opinion. I purchased the Chef's Choice Pronto Santoku/Asian Manual Knife Sharpener for $40. But I haven't used it yet so I will not comment on it.
I also bought the Victorinox 48042 Cutlery 3-Piece Paring Knife Set for $15. I am very happy with these paring/peeling knives. The blades are sharp and thin and the handles long enough for great control. These knives along with the chef knife is all you will need for most cutting/slicing/chopping/dicing/peeling. The only additional knife I might look for is an old school carving knife for presentation carving. You know, the one with an antler handle and soft steel. Probably have to start going to the local flee market.
Caring for these knives are straight forward. Use a steel between uses for the chef's knife. Always hand wash the knifes with warm water and soap if desired. Do not use a scrubbing pad like the green weenie sponge. Towel dry immediately and store in wooden block or similar. Be careful, the chef's knife is sharp.
The Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife is a fantastic general purpose knife at any price. At $40, it's a steal!
Now to the good stuff, and who this is for. You did read Amazon's comments right? For Home Chefs and Professional use. This means it is not a lifer knife. Once dull, dispose of properly. Meat butcher shops love these knives. They don't have time to sharpen them. Dull dispose , get another one out and keep on cutting. Home chefs on a budget and just starting out, this is fine. Good edge, not surgery edge, but good enough. Vegetable cutting for me is fine. For now. But holding an edge and being hard is not easy.
I like this one. I know it will not last so I enjoy it for what it is today. The handle grip is fine. Easy to care for, and a good purchase in my hand. Knife has reasonably good balance. Makes easy work of carrots and celery, and tomatoes no problem. Meats do just fine.
Construct is what I expect from a Chromium Carbide Stainless Steel Knife. Low maintenance, and easy to clean up. No oiling since it is not high carbon steel. It is an average in the kitchen use knife for most of us.
If you are a Cordon Bleu, you already know what this throw away is. If you get a year of long hard use out of it, throw a party. Short of abusing this knife, it should do about that amount. But everyone's cooking chores and food stuffs to be cut can vary. Go through bone allot? Don't expect this edge to last. This is an under 50.00 USD knife remember? So the main thing I use it for is my power diet I am under taking. Wanting to drastically get more fruit and vegetable diet in gear this knife, my food processor and other ancillary items are set to get my life turned around along with great exercise. Down 17 pounds in under 2 months!
This knife opens the door to more delightful cutlery I want to use in my lifestyle change. This throw away will be part of it. I want a fine Damascus steel knife sure. I love the heat and hammer folded and forged durability and esthetics. I am paying attention to Rockwell hardness and composition sure, but not stressing on it allot. Allot of people want a lifer knife for nothing. So unrealistic. Unless you are prepared to sharpen and maintain say a High Carbon Steel knife while that has an incredible edge, you will need to sharpen it more often. Oil it too! Also remember when you sharpen you remove material of the blade which is a normal act of sharpening. High Chromium Carbide Stainless steel is old reliable. No oil needed and will hold its edge longer, usually. But harder to sharpen typically than High Carbon Steel knives.
This starter knife here will open doors for many needing a cheap knife for getting started in cooking on a budget and move onto a better knife when they are ready. Or like me have a few cadre of knives for the applications in the kitchen I may have. This knife is invaluable for one you really don't care about stressing in the kitchen because it is cheap. Break the edge, so what? Get another one, they are cheap. Firstly though ask yourself how you damaged that knife using it improperly? Was it defective? In any case ponder for a bit and move on.
So my rating of 5 is for what it is. Cheap throw away and project knife. Easy to care for, and easy to use, good balance and a reasonable edge. A lifer knife? A 1 star. You will find this edge harder to get back but it is possible, but ask yourself if it is worth the time and money on stones and so on, or just get another one. A lifestyle is about choices, and this knife fits many needs. Be honest with what you are going to do, and what your expectations are. One knife does not do all! Also, remember Amazon sells a whole many more knives if this isn't the one. Do your research beyond here at Amazon. Learn how knives are made. Fascinating actually, and do research beyond the marketing BS!
Use always a sharp and maintained knife, and happy cooking!
