Hammer Stahl 8" Chef Knife - High Carbon German Forged - Professional Kitchen Knife - Ergonomic Quad Tang Pack Handle 8" Steel

Worked Great till someone stole it.

This is the best chef's knife I have ever had. It came out of the box razor sharp. It's an absolutely beautiful piece of hardware, the pictures do not do it enough justice. The weight of the knife is substantial and it feels like a heavy duty tool. It is so balanced when you pinch the tang giving you total comfortable control. I have had several knives at this price point and even owned one much more expensive than this. I am going to replace my current set with this brand, and I believe my endless search for the best knife I can afford is finally over,

Coupe très bien, très satisfait de mon achat

I had previously bought the pairing knife and was impressed with the sharpness and how well it cuts. This knife arrived in very nice packaging, great for a gift. The knife is well made and gorgeous. It arrived reasonably sharp, but I sharpened it with my Work Sharp Ken Onion sharpener. It now slices like nothing I have ever owned. This knife is capable of becoming chef sharp. I give it a lot of respect, if you touch yourself while cutting, you are cut. Very happy with it. Has more weight than most knives of this size but I believe that helps with reminding me of what it is capable of.

This is a beautiful knife. Extremely sharp. Well balanced. Easley one of the nicest kitchen knifes I own.
