The chef's knife is the favorite knife of every professional and amateur cook, and not without reason. It perhaps has the most uses of any other kitchen knife, as you can use it to cut large portions, chop or slice everything from vegetables and fruits to meat and fish. Its wide blade and curved edge make it ideal for quick chopping through the well-known rocking motion. The thickness of the blade at the spine is enough to give you the weight and power you need, while its length covers a wide range of daily tasks.

Description
Chef Knife
Blade Material
The blade of the knife is made from high-carbon stainless steel. This particular stainless steel is called CROMOVA 18, and it is quite hard so that the knives maintain their sharpness for a long time, but at the same time can be sharpened with relative ease.
The chromium content corresponds to 18% of the steel, which is why the steel has this specific name. The high chromium content contributes to the blade's resistance against stains.
The blade hardness is 58 (±1) HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).
Handle
The handle is made of stainless steel which provides durability and resistance to corrosion, while it also features ridges for more stability even with wet hands. Its weight is evenly balanced with that of the blade for perfect equilibrium.
Cutting board
It is recommended to make cuts on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable, as they may cause permanent damage to the knife blades.
Cleaning
Wash the knife with warm water before using it for the first time. After each use, make sure to wash the knife without delay (with a simple detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you must wash the knife immediately after use.
For your safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from the edge, with a cloth or towel.
It is not recommended to wash it in the dishwasher but by hand, in order to protect its material and maintain its sharpness for a long time.
Sharpening
No matter how sharp a knife is initially, after some use it needs sharpening, something you can achieve with a sharpener, whetstone, or honing rod.
You can determine if your knife cuts well with an easy test using the knife and a sheet of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut a sheet of paper. Conversely, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and the cut will be jagged.
It is also recommended to occasionally have your knives sharpened by a professional to repair any potential damage to the blade's edge and to maintain its sharpness.

- This review is about type: Nakiri, dimension: 18 cm
Very honest knife, I've had it since 2021 and it has saved me a lot... at first, it will take you a little time to get used to it in your hand, but after that, you can cut whatever you want... the weight doesn't bother me particularly (I prefer heavier ones). Personally, I have to say that although it is mainly a vegetable knife, it didn't struggle when I used it for meat or even for fish. Very good knife, I found it at the price of 100 euros

The filleting knife for fish is perfect because the blade is flexible and helps a lot. It is definitely worth it.

Did you find this review helpful? The review is about the 20 cm knife.
The knife is very good and very light.
Perfectly balanced weight distribution in the handle and blade, it doesn't tire at all while cutting unless you cut your fingers! hahaha
Sharp blade, double-edged, well sharpened, with a thickness of about 3-4 millimeters.Compared to other knives I have, Japanese and non-Japanese, this is the one I reach for first!
You can cut everything with precision and without effort.Highly recommended for both amateurs and experienced knife users.
Be careful not to drop the knife due to its weight if you are used to heavier knives.Translated from Greek ·- Weight

My first knife. Look at how much the price has dropped... when I bought it, it cost more money...
Durable and sharp knife. The only negative thing I would mention is that it has a hard handle like all global knives. Moreover, until you get used to it, it will hurt your finger... and a second negative thing is that it needs constant sharpening. Even for the simplest use, like cutting vegetables for example, where you can't say you're struggling with the knife.. But that can be easily solved. I saw and I saw. So I went and had it sharpened on a wheel where they sharpen knives and since then, I just pass a simple honing rod and the knife cuts.Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful? - This review is about type: Bread, dimension: 22 cm
