ZYLISS KC-00885 Chef's Knife with Sheath Cover, 7.25-Inch Stainless Steel Blade, 18/8, Black

Antes de realizar la compra estuve buscando varios cuchillos y todos los que parecían tener buen filo no bajaban de 500 pesos, pero justo cuando estaba por comprar un cuchillo caro encontré este. Las 2 reseñas que tenía decían que tenía mucho filo (justo lo que buscaba) y el precio era excelente, así que no lo pensé mucho. Cuando me llegó lo probé muy emocionado con un limón y de inmediato noté la diferencia, no tuve que aplicar fuerza y tuve la sensación de que el cuchillo se deslizaba. Luego lo probé con pollo un poco congelado y quedé impresionado con la facilidad de la tarea y los cortes finos que conseguía, el resultado era concistente con cada cosa que cortaba ya sea carne, verdudas o fruta. La funda la incluyen por tu seguridad, pero añade un bonito toque, y en dado caso de que llegue a perder filo creo que es más rentable comprar uno nuevo a afilarlo nuevamente, a menos que seas bueno en la tarea.

Maybe because I tend to wash it right away but no visible rust so far. I have waited about 6 months to see if the thing indeed rusts but none so far. That is good considering I like to cut limes and tomatoes with it. I think I may go for the full set now that I know the product is good. I have had to sharpen it a couple of times though. It holds a good edge but I just like to keep it razor sharp.

Good knife value for money but victorinox chef knife is the best in stamped knife

I am by no means a professional chef and I've never had the money to purchase expensive, fancy knives because I'm a financially independent college student living off scholarships and loans. That being said, as far as my personal knife experiences go this is one of the best knives I've ever used. I do a lot of cooking and chop large amounts of vegetables about 4 or 5 times a week. It responds very well to sharpening and it holds its edge quite well- significantly better than the other knives I have in my drawer! It cuts tomatoes without squishing them, slices onions without slipping off of them, and lets me easily get through butternut squash and turnips. Honestly for just under $14 this is an invaluable investment and it seems that a good, sharp knife makes cooking a lot less tedious. The light weight is nice and the shape of the handle keeps my hands from cramping when I'm chopping a large batch of sturdy veggies. The chef knife style blade is deep enough that I don't have to worry about smooshing my knuckles into the cutting board, either. The plastic sheath also really came in handy when I was moving because I didn't have to wrap it. It also lets me store it in the cutlery drawer without having to find a place for it in my knife holder. All in all, excellent knife and I will probably be ordering the other size knives from Zyliss as well because I like this one so much.

This knife (as well as it's 5.5-inch brother) is phenomenal! It's very comfortable in the hand, and is an absolute joy to use. It comes razor sharp, and I expect it will hold that edge for a while. I've only owned this one for about a week, but I've used the smaller version at least once a day for almost a year. I'll touch up the blade now and then, but it's still very sharp and passes the tomato test with flying colors. The 5.5-inch version is great for small tasks and quick meal prep, but for larger quantities/items, this 7.5-inch knife is a real workhorse. It's light and nimble, but also feels very solid. The sheath is a nice bonus as well, as I'm comfortable just throwing the knife in a drawer after washing it. Some people might not like that the blade is stamped and therefore lacks the hefty bolster of a forged blade, but it doesn't bother me. The build quality on this knife is superb. I honestly can't say enough good things about it. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone on the fence or considering other similar knives.
