Richardson Sheffield 20 cm Kyu Cooks Knife, Silver

I had one of these for 4 years and loved it, great value for money, well balanced and easy to keep clean and sharp. Accidentally left it at my parents who also love it so bought myself a new one.Depending on what type of knife you want this may not be ideal, as the flatter blade is more suited to up down cuts rather than the rocking motion, but if this is for you then go for it.Only other thing that might put some people off is the weight, it’s on the heavier side for a knife, so if you like really light knives then this isn’t for you.

Excellent quality well worth the price

I have 9 of Kyu knives of different sizes and by far, this one gets the most use! Its a great weight and super sharp and the one I reach for most in the kitchen. Its got a great balance and secure grip that has the other knives prove the test of time. I only handwash my knives to prevent the blade dulling and accidents so I can't say how it fairs in the dishwasher. I have a decent steel as well for sharpening as all knives become dull over time. I sharpen this every 2-3 months to keep the edge super sharp. Add this to your knife collection and all your other will soon become a second best.

Replacement knife after one lost/AWOL at family party.Keeps it's edge if respected

Everyone is different so just because this is perfectly balanced and shaped for my large hands, doesn't mean it will be the same for everyone. That said I've used a lot of knives in my own kitchen, family and friends kitchens and this is about the best one I've had. Do be aware it's razor sharp, no really it's not like those cheap things you get in the supermarkets, don't leave it lying around. My wife went to pick it up to wash it and cut her finger. It's a great knife but treat it with care.

Excellent quality. Well balanced and retains it's sharpness.

Seriously good equipment - finely weighted, great steel, and savagely sharp. Chef-trained Mrs Wife was raving about this knife.Confident that we'll be able to keep it with a fine edge for years to come, and that it'll transform our kitchen prep tasks, large and small.

Excellent - good value, well designed and good weight. Very sharp too - no issues at all and every bit as good as some more expensive knives I''ve used.
