Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This knife's 6-inch titanium-alloy blade offers several advantages over a steel blade. It stays sharper much longer (though its edge can be realigned with a conventional sharpening steel and sharpened just like a steel blade); it's far lighter; and it flexes, so it's less likely to break. The blade also looks different than steel because an oxidation process that enhances the blade's germ-repulsing capacity imbues it with an iridescent bluing (which is not as bright as it appears in the photograph). Another visible difference is the blade's oval indentations, which create air pockets for effortless slicing. Like the blade, the durable synthetic handle, rounded to fit the hand, is also lightweight. The knife will not stain or rust and is dishwasher-safe. Strikingly beautiful and light as a feather, this knife makes a memorable gift in its wood gift/storage box with a hinged plastic lid. --Fred Brack

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty, but not useful, March 7, 2002

What a gorgeous knife. Unfortunately, it does NOT keep its edge as advertised (my Henckels are much sharper), and the lovely rounded handle makes it impossible to hold the knife while peeling veggies (assuming you peel an apple, for instance, while holding it). Try Henckels 4-star instead.

I have to say that I don't think you will find any professional chefs using these knifes, but for my kitchen it's great. I love Titanium and that plus the blue color matches my kitchen. I am familiar with Boker too. I think you will be suprised by how light it is (not something a pro would want). I'm sure you can find better knifes, but if you want cool, this is cool.
