This Knife is all one piece, so bending and breaking isn't an issue. It has stayed sharp quite a bit longer then other knives we own. (I found this out the hard way by cutting myself)

I definitely recommend this high quality knife which seems to be more reasonably priced then many of the competing knives.

I am a professional chef. I bought this knife about 6 years ago, and have used it for home use. I love this knife. I own knives that cost upwards of 400 dollars, and I would choose this knife over all of them. It is very comfortable in the hand, and has a great edge. It stays sharp forever. Definitely a good purchase

I bought this knife as a present for my son who cooks for entertainment. I own a lot of knives, including several Chicago Cutlery Cooks knives that have served me well for many years. This one has a Stainless Steel handle that fits a large hand well. I don't know if it is dishwasher safe, but the company recommends hand washing the High Carbon Steel. This knife represent value, Quality at a reasonable cost with a Lifetime
Guarantee.

This is the first Chef knife I've ever bought. I was impressed with the quality and sharpness of it when I first tried it out. I first underestimated the sharpness of it and almost cut myself several times. Excellent for normal slicing and chopping. You'll enjoy the quality of an awesome gourment knife at a really reasonable price.

Not all knifes are created equal, not even from the same manufacturer. Chicago Cutlery produces a variety of knife sets, and they all look similar to each other, but there are some big differences in use and quality. The Chicago Cutlery Insignia line is well made, I can't say the same for their other models. I have had this knife for several years, and I haven't sharpened it yet. I steel it and it maintains it's edge well. I am a chef and this is a great knife for home use, and for the price point I haven't found anything better. I love the solid steel construction, no worries in cleaning it or having dirt get it any seams. I only hand wash and immediately dry this knife, and I have not had any issues with rust or discoloration. I would not put it in the dishwasher.

The blade is great, stays sharp for awhile and can be sharpened incredibly well. The only problem I have with this knife is the handle. When cutting wet items, especially poultry, it can become slippery.

The knife is awesome, however its not as sharp as I thought it would be but I don't know much about knives so I annotations sure what it should cut through. I am still learning. Overall I am content with my purchase

bought it for my mom who has been looking for an all stainless steel knife..read the rave reviews and bought it immediately. My mom LOVED it! Quality just as promised.

I have been using this knife for 3 months and am very happy. I'll be buying more Chicago Cutlery knives like this one.
