More expensive chef's knives can be had, yes. Higher quality, too. If you really love cooking and you have a bunch of money to spend and you really care about the quality of the steel and the heritage of the design and the exact alloy that went into the blade and the quality of the wood on the full-tang handle, this is probably not the knife for you.
If you cook at all, though, and you don't have a bunch of money to spend on a fancy knife, then this is easily your best option. Even if you've never bought a knife outside of a block set before. Even if you don't really like to cook. Especially if you've only bought knives in a set or don't like to cook, even. This knife is so good that you will find yourself wondering why you didn't like chopping before. You will hate cooking away from home because it will mean using a knife that isn't this one. It's that good. I bring it along when I'm going to cook somewhere.
Let's talk about the steel. Who cares? If you're buying this knife you probably don't. You don't need to. All you need to know is it comes sharp and it stays that way, and it hones up nicely with a diamond rod. It cleans easily, it doesn't rust, and it's got a nice weight to it. The shape is as it should be. Don't stick it in the dishwasher, although you could probably get away with it a few times. But don't.
Let's talk about the handle. It's made of some kind of plastic, but again, who cares? It has a nice texture that keeps it in your hand, the shape is great for prolonged use, and it doesn't leak like some hollow-handled knives do (water can get in and rust your handle from the inside; not here).
For this price, for this knife, it's a no-brainer. Buy it. Buy it, buy it, buy it. Even if you have fancier knives, buy it. Even if you don't think you need a knife this big, buy it.
The handle feels comfortable and I feel like I’m holding it securely even when my hands and the knife is not clean. That is important to me.
Like any knife the key is going to be how long it stays sharp and how it accepts a new edge.
If I had one concern, it would be that the metal is much thinner than my previous knife, so I’m certainly not going to be banging around like I used to and I’m concerned it may not take an edge. But that is all speculation. I still recommend this device for the money.
Dollar tree
It's lightweight, slices beautifully, holds an edge. You don't have to work tok hard with this knife. I think the price is reasonable for the quality you get.
The knife was head and shoulders above others I have used, including the Mercer and Henckles that I also own. It does feel good in my average-sized hand. I have cut meat and vegetables with ease.

On a side note: All the reviews here claiming its not sharp or looses sharpness quickly ... really, these guys just dont know how to maintain their tools like a professional. Cant win a war with them for sure. Just whinging and whining. Should grow up and learn how its done properly ... Just my ten cents worth!
