| Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating : - good knife, really Great at price point I ordered this and 6 other similar knives that have sets under $200 and are well reviewed.
pros: I have to say for the price, after a good sharpening, its an excellent blade, it appears Cast or Forged, though its sold on some sites as Stamped, the shoulder has no joint so it would need to be stamped from 1/2" or bigger stock, so might as well be forged as it is thick and sturdy. its held the edge well, it came fairly sharp, but a little work in a simple sharpener made it almost perfect. handle is super comfy.
I like alot about it, its been run through the dishwasher a few times, no rust, or spots, If you are going to use in the dishwasher, use a heated dry cycle or remove immediately to wipe dry, we are using Electrasol all in 1 Gelpacs, 1 or 2 per load depending on whats in there.
Cons: the rubbery handles may be a food/water trap, only time will tell on that one, they appear fairly snug, but pliable, i've been keeping an eye on it and its not been an issue so far but I'd suspect the dishwasher forcing water up there with soap in it will cause rust eventually. just my opinion though. if you plan to hand wash, I wouldn't be too concerned, because its a tight enough setup that this won't be an issue in hand washing. + See Full Customer Review |  |
