TUO Chef Knife- Kitchen Chef’s Knife - High Carbon German Stainless Steel Cutlery - Rust Resistant - Pakkawood Handle - Luxurious Gift Box Included - 8” - Fiery Phoenix Series

We use it every day because it is awesome value. This is a great item to have on hand to address hostess requests or to send to the expert when it's time to sharpen my shus. In terms of functionality, they are excellent. A very sharp writing style. The balance is good. This is an amazing aesthetic. My favorite thing about them is how easy they are to use. There is only one downside-the steel seems not to be that hard, as it gets dinged up rather easily. My shuns take a beating and have never been dinged in the 10 years I have owned It seems unlikely that the rating is accurate. They're not expensive, though. Just remember to take the appropriate filing cases with you when you use them and sharpen them occasionally and it will perform like a knife three times its price.

Some complain of design flaws, which I will address here Please note There are issues with the handle and drops. This is purely subjective. I like a beefy handle and I find it to be perfect. * The knuckles don't clear the bottom when you chop. My issue is not the same as yours. Then and now. Besides my thick hands, I have a large nose. You would need to be a giant to get away with it. Please note Deficiency of balance in the knives. Not at all. I'm very satisfied with them. Great value for the price. I've used them every day for a year, made large batches of food, they still look new and work fine.

The purchase was well worth it. The knife is razor sharp out of the box, and it's so easy to use. In the end, it is a blade with enough meat on its bones to be tough, but not so much to feel heavy. seems to be made of laminated acrylic impregnated wood, while the "pakkawood" appears to be laminated acrylic impregnated wood, which is similar to gunstocks available. My intent was to supplement the Flame Phoenix set I bought with this chef knife since I prefer to have a chefs knife and it is very similar to the one I bought. If my impression changes for any reason, I will update, but as of now I am very happy with both the purchase as well as the set I purchased. Only the longevity of the blade and the way it wears with use have not been tested. It is likely that this knife will be used the most.

If you're an average household user, this is the best knife you'll ever have. This is only a light use for me. The majority of the diet consists of vegetables, with a few Sharp to the point of being painful. It's happened to me a few times because I've made apparently bad habits that I could get away with if I was using a cheaper knife. I didn't make much of an effort. While I'm not trained in how a knife should be used, using this knife has at least given me a better understanding of how to handle a knife. The only complaint I have is that it lacks a feature that would prevent sliced food from falling off the blade after it's sliced. I find it a bit annoying when I want to keep the food out in order. It remains a purchase I would be happy to make again. I would say this is definitely an upgrade from a cheap chef's knife, as most of us home cooks won't know how to appreciate a $100 knife's build.

With this knife, I was very surprised. It is a lot better than the Cutko knives we have. The handle is made of wood and the blade is one solid piece of metal ground down so that it seamlessly blends into it. A tomato and a piece of paper were sliced after I cut the tomato. You've got a great balance to your first draft. Though I haven't used it very seriously yet, a couple days ago, when I worked with a dull Cutko to break down a pork roast, I wished I had it. I like the look of the wood. In a month or so after it gets used a bit more, I'll probably edit it again. It is an incredible value for the price. It was a pleasure to go to BB&T This one was purchased after browsing Selection B and being underwhelmed by what they offered. Although it is Chinese, I am happy with it so far. On both the 4-inch paring knife and the 4-inch paring knife, I received a 8% discount. This is true.

In spite of the fact that it was quite beautiful when I first pulled it out of the box, it began to develop rust spots rather quickly, especially around the stainless steel stamp on the blade. However, it still cuts well, and I've only just noticed some signs of dulling after about a month.

In my opinion, this is my 6th Tuo knife and it sadly lacks the quality craftsmanship that Tuos is known for. We're not sure how this knife made it past quality control. As soon as I received the first Tuo knife from their company, I would never order from them again. I'm happy to report that all the knives I have used have been excellent. Anyhow, the blade has a curve to the right, the top of the blade has dents, and the back of the blade appears to have been chipped but it was sharpened and left to set.

The handle of my knife literally had a piece of chocolate stuck to it when I opened the box. Such a thing has never happened to me before. This knife is fine, but someone needs to take the Hershey bar off the package.

Lightweight and prone to dulling, this knife is a bit on the light side. This steal is not as strong as it once was. The fit feels good in your hands, it's really nice to see. Getting the most for your money is worth just 30 dollars or so.
