This review is from: Calphalon Contemporary 8-Inch Chef's Knife (Kitchen)

I own many knives including several Wusthof's but I must admit that this one has been the true workhorse of my kitchen. Its a heavy but very versatile knife that possess amazing sharpness and balance that comes in very useful for just about any task from cutting up whole poultry to chopping up vegetables. I highly recommend it especially at this price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kitchen-workhorse knife, December 26, 2007

This is a handsome knife with its heft and the full-tang full-forged stainless steel body, a great knife in the kitchen and value for the money. I have had this for over 2 years now (gift from my daughter). It has become my knife-workhorse in the kitchen because of its convenient weight, its size; that it is well-balanced and keeps its sharpness.

You could not get a better chef's knife for the price. Inbelievable. I have had mine for 6 years and never had to have it sharpened professionally. I keep it very sharp with a steel.

I would never buy any other knife now. I use to only buy Henkels. I must have had at least 6 of these through the years at about $100 bucks per knife. The Calphalon is way easier to keep sharp....and I like the weight better too.
