This is an unpretentious, capable tool that is likely to get lost between $5 ginsus and $240 Shuns. It is comfortable to use, has reasonably good steel, and is balanced well. It is a good using knife and the attractive price just sweetens the deal. Do the math--a solid tool for $20 something, or a bit more weight and marketing for $120 to $240.

I am a bit of a tool nut, and I own German Wusthoff, French Sabatier and Calphalon knives made with German steel. They are fine knives, but let's face it, they can't do anything the good grips knife can't. Yes, a bit more weight comes in handy when you're doing serious chopping for hours on end, but I try to avoid that. I also favor a 10" cooks knife, but most opt for the 8" model. This is an ideal primary knife for a new cook who is ready to go, but too smart to drop a bundle on a brand name.

Rust has not been a concern, but I keep my blades clean. I don't throw them in the dishwasher and I steel them often.

I am a Chef Instructor at a training facility. I use these knives as a graduation present for my students. They have a good weight, shape and an ergonomic handle. OXO is a fantastic company. I SWEAR by their tongs! They rock. I have never been dissapointed by this line for the value and price. If you want to keep your knives sharp, NEVER put them in the dishwasher. Hand wash only!

I LOVE THIS KNIFE!!!! Actually I have at lease six of the OXO knives and I love them all. They are lightweight and sharp which makes them a breeze to use. The no-slip grip is amazing even when your hand is covered with butter. It doesn't slip. In addition OXO offers 100% satisfaction guarantee. I had one break away from the handle and they replaced it FREE OF CHARGE even after I told them the knife was 8 years old. This is a can't miss product from a can't miss company. I highly recommend these knives.
