Plys Chef 7-inch Kitchen Knife, German Stainless Steel, Professional Ergonomic Handle Chopping Knives for Home and Restaurants Cooking

This chef's knife seems to me to be made with good craftsmanship. I don't know if it's dishwasher safe, but I let it soak a long time in a sink full of hot soapy water, and it held up fine. It comes pretty sharp in my opinion. It easily cut through paper, cardboard, loaves of bread and chicken. In my hand, this knife feels comfortably balanced and easy to hold on to, making it easy to cut safely.

The 8-inch Japanese Chopping Chefs Knife is one of exceptional sharpness. Unlike Western Knives these are constructed from a harder steel, very light weight with a thinner blade which allows them to glide through fruits, veggies, herbs and meats with little to no effort. They do warrant special care when using as well as cleaning. They should never be placed in a dishwasher and sharpened only with whetstone. I love the feel of it in hand, it's easy use and how it allows for quick and precise chopping. At last a tool worth purchasing. Handle with care.

I enjoy using this very sharp knife in so many jobs there are in my kitchen. I especially love the ease of handling the knife while cutting large types of meat and vegetables. It is a perfect fit in my hand.

Very nice knife. It fits well in your hand and is not that heavy. Didn't have a problem putting it to a test right away cutting beef. Nice easy glide through the meat. I would highly recommend.

Extremely sharp and good looking knife I highly recommend it I already used it for one meal and it went so smoothly it acts and seems just like one of the real multi hundred dollar expensive knifes

Great knife! Made of quality german steel. Only problem, doesn't fit my hand like I'm used to. Worth the money I paid.

my wife works in a professional kitchen. she loves it, and now one of her coworkers wants one. They like the way it fits in your hand. Very balanced.
