Customers are mixed about the size of the kitchen knife. Some mention that the length is perfect, conducive to long, slow, even cutting, and the handle is just the right size. However, others say that it's too large to fit into their knife block and takes up a lot of space in the kitchen.

Knife is sharp and cuts however there is a lot of flex in the blade, and on tender meat it is hard to get straight consistent slices. I'm guessing it will be a good knife for bread and possibly tougher cuts of meat. But for me I'm going back to a different brand of knife for my briskets.
I bought this for my eldest who loves to cook. He used it for the first time today on a lovely ribeye, and found it to be incredibly sharp and very agile. He was able to cut razor-thin slices with almost no effort. I’ve rarely seen any knife cut like this does. He has large hands, and I have rather small ones, but we both found the handle comfortable and secure to hold. The knife was not heavy in any way, and it was very responsive. A pleasure to use!
Finally had to upgrade to a new blade as my previous knife was 35 years old and my wife used it to cut a foot off of a christmas tree. This new knife is very thin but still very strong. Its almost scary sharp. Works great so far. Ultra thin slices or cutting a roast in half is easy peasy.
Bought this knife based on my son’s recommendation. He grills and smokes constantly and has tried a few knives. This one cut through our holiday prime rib like butter, allowing us to cut slices as thin as our guests wanted. It’s been fantastic for cutting tri-tip and briskets too. So far holding its edge very well. Great knife for a reasonable price.
I bought this to slice meat for jerky, best buy since my dehydrator, maybe better.
I started to make jerky for high protein, low carb, low sugar snacks. If you've never had fresh warm jerky, you have missed a true treat. Home made beats the packaged brands less cost, and allows for a variety of meats and flavors (beef, chicken, pork, spicy, teriyaki.....).
I Tried it on two eye of round roasts, as I was anxious, the first was chilled firm, but not as solid I usually had to for the knife that came with my old slicer set.
The difference was like night and day, smooth cuts, no sawing. Cuts were uniform, no blade flexing making uneven spots, cut all the way through (horizontally under the meat), no tapering, didn't have to move the roast to orient to a trailing edge. finished slicing in 1/3 the time too. Then when I would have had to switch blades to trim to size, once again this knife did the job, cutting like soft butter, and because of the length I got some fantastic pieces.
The second roast was a bit firmer, I tested other cuts, first I took rounds off the thick end, even tried some free hand (with out the slicer form, just this knife), and finished with the slicer unit, the knife started sharp and remained sharp. I even though about donning a cutting glove, as I got near the end of my task, with the meat being about twice the width of the slice.
This knife also was great with some left over turkey breast, I can hardly wait to use it on the holiday ham.
If there was any downside, it was the packaging, a plastic bubble, that while allowing a good view of the knife and keeping the edges protected during shipping, may lack the elegance of a box that some people may desire. It also lacked an edge guard, but with only adults in the kitchen, it is not an issue for me.
Personally I would rather have a good knife, the package doesn't matter when it in use, and that's what this is. A very good knife.
Final notes - the Fibrox handle was very comfortable at different cutting angles. It has a dual sided Granton blade. The blade is well balanced and centered in the handle, and should be usable right or left handed. For a 12 inch blade it is very light and maneuverable. The blade is Swiss made, and NSE certified. It is supposed to be dishwasher safe, though I would be sure to place it in a way other items won't bump the cutting edge.
This looks like a butter knife, but is the sharpest blade I’ve ever handled. After slicing some beef ribs I accidentally bumped one of my fingers, slicing it straight to bone. It was so quick that I didn’t notice until someone pointed out the blood pouring from my finger and the nerve pain that came 5 minutes later. The knife is great but from now on only using it with cutting gloves

I originally bought a Mercer based on reviews here. I used it once and never again. I don't get the love. Tried slicing brisket and it just mushed and shredded it.
When I got this one to replace the Mercer and took it out of the box, I wasn't too optimistic as to the results I would get. I own all Henckels Pro S knifes I use in my kitchen. I wanted an affordable brisket knife as I do not use it nearly enough as my chef's knife.
Boy was I wrong. I tested it with some veg/fruit like tomatoes, lemons and cucumbers and it was razor sharp. Tomatoes, especially, are usually a good test to sharpness, as are lemons. Both have skins that want to make the knife slide down and cut you. This knife handles all perfectly, not that I have any intention to use it that way.
I then got to use it on a Prime Rib and it cut better than my Henckels 10" chef or 8" carving.
I don't love the handle but if that is the trade-off for a knife this sharp in order to keep it affordable then I can deal with it.
No need to ever spend more than this on a carving/slicing knife.
Make sure you store this some place safe and not loose in a drawer. I gave this to my children and they put it loose in the drawer and someone ended up with a cut finger. Thankfully not requiring sutures. It does the job nicely
Excelente cuchillo, tiene un muy buen filo . Lo he usado para partir brisket, lechón, costillar ahumado y picaña y todo lo corta Perfecto. Es fácil de usar y no se raya fácilmente, una gran compra.
I used this knife for filleting large salmon. It is excellent. It is also Swiss Army. Great handle and flexible, sharp blade which can be sharpened with a Chef’s Choice Sharpener.
Great length blade light to handle and easy to get clean. The Gratin blade ( with indents) makes carving Brisket and smoked Turkey breast a dream. Recommend for all especially those new to the art.
