I gave this to my son for Christmas. He loves the weight, the design of the blade and how easily it slices. When I buy him another knife, it will be this brand.

Excellent sharp kitchen knife that easily slices tomatoes, chicken, and vegetables like potatoes and celery. It’s very sharp in comparison to our last dulled knife so I was not used to it and already gave myself a slight cut from the gentlest movement. It’s a large knife but not too heavy and it’s comfortable to hold. I’m very happy with it although it’s very long and I could have gone with a shorter knife for storing purposes, but happy with the purchase.

The all-rounder: for mincing, chopping, or cutting meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables. The Chef's Knife is an active participant in many kitchen tasks, makes food prepping pleasurable, and is part of every professional and home cook’s basic equipment. The half bolster, the junction between handle and blade, reduces the weight of the knife, making it easier to handle. It also allows the entire blade to be sharpened more easily. CLASSIC IKON knives feature a distinctive, double bolster design for professional-style heft, exceptional balance and beauty. The handle is made of a highly durable synthetic material – Polyoxymethylene (POM) – which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. The elegant shape of the handle is designed for a comfortable grip.
