Product Description
Shop Without Compromise
When you’re shopping online, it’s easy to get caught up comparing features and forget about the entire lifecycle of a product. Everything you buy is connected to hundreds of people who make, ship, and service it. When you purchase a product, you’re supporting a company, which uses your dollars to make important decisions about how to treat all those people—and you. That’s why who you buy from matters just as much as what you buy.
What Makes This a Great Chef Knife?
THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED: The first steps of a recipe lay the foundation for your meal—that’s why a good knife is one of the most important tools in your kitchen. Our handcrafted Chef Knife makes prep work easy, whether you’re powering through tough vegetables or slicing thin layers of garnish.
FEATURES: 8-inch multipurpose Chef Knife with a blade handcrafted from rust-resistant German stainless steel (4116 HRC-57), which has a good balance of sharpness and durability for everyday use. Blade is sharpened to 15 degrees per side, for optimal sharpness and edge retention. ABS handle is designed to reinforce correct grip, and the steel tang extends deep into the handle to secure the blade while ensuring a balanced heft. Handle is molded with an expanded half-bolster to cushion fingers, and blade height gives proper knuckle room. We recommend handwashing with soap and water.

What my review cannot cover obviously is how it holds up with time. Should I have any indication that it would not do well over time, I will edit this review. Also, I have not used it for carving meat or for dissecting chicken etc. However, I believe this knife would be suitable for these uses as well.
UPDATE: I have owned the knife for a few months. I can provide more information. It seems to hold up well. I recommend a few swipes on the sharpener between uses. You can easily cut through tomatoes, chicken, carrots, etc. It’s dynamic. I also impressed myself when I threw an orange in the air and sliced it perfectly in half. With a dull knife, the orange would have been knocked forward instead of chopped. Definately hand wash and immediately dry. Store safely because it’s very sharp.
This knife is made with VG-10 Steel. This is a very big deal at this price point. I researched many high quality knives before buying this one, and found this one to be the best price (by far). VG-10 is used in Spyderco knives and high dollar professional hair sheers. The following are a couple points about VG-10.
1. It has a higher carbon content than cheap knives (the ones generally labelled only as "stainless steel") This means that it is harder and holds an edge better. This also means that it chips more easily and rusts more easily. You should never leave this knife submerged in water, it will rust. You should always rinse it and dry it off after use, especially if you have been cutting acidic or salty foods (tomatoes etc). As long as you take care of it and don't abuse it, you shouldn't have any rust or chipping issues.
2. If you want this knife to last, only use it on a soft cutting board. (I like soft wood). A soft cutting board will show extensive knife marking after repeated use. If your cutting board is not being damaged by the knife, then the knife is being damaged by the cutting board. Also, never put a wood cutting board in the dishwasher, it will warp and break.
3. Do not ever touch this knife with the honing steel (long metal "sharpening rod") that came with your cheap knife set. Those rods are used to uncurl the edge on cheap, soft steel knives. VG-10 does not curl (it is harder steel). You will ruin this knife with that rod. True sharpening is done by removing metal from the edge. Usually with ceramic stones. Sharpening is a skill that requires good equipment and lots of practice. VG-10 does not need to be sharpened often, and the casual user would likely prefer taking this knife to a professional sharpener. Also, do not run this through the sharpener on your can opener, you will ruin the knife.
4. For those of you that have never had a high quality knife before, understand that this is sharp. Very sharp. You can very seriously hurt yourself before you even realize it. Pay attention.
5. The best I can tell from my research, "damascus steel" (the wavy pattern on the knife) is for the most part entirely cosmetic. The actual steel used (440a, VG-10, 9CR18, etc) is far more relevant. This knife does have the "damascus" pattern on it, and it is nice to look at.
6. Having a "full tang" is also a characteristic of a high quality knife. (This knife has one)
This really is a very excellent knife. I was about to say "for the money," but it is in fact a very excellent knife period. This shows that a good knife can be produced at a reasonable price.
Update September 2024
It appears Greater Goods no longer offers the VG10 version of this knife that I reviewed.
