Knives Pro 8" Cook's Knife, Japanese Stainless Steel, Seamless Construction, Reverse Wedge Handle

I splurged on a complete set of Furi knives 15 years ago now and in that time I have used them (and only them) every single day. I have had no issues with them at all, but finally had to repurchase this chefs knife as I dropped it on our tiled floor and bent the tip badly. I will be taking it to see if I can get it repaired.I purchased another knife that was highly recommended (although cheaper) to use until I got around to getting my Furi chefs knife repaired but that one became rusty within two weeks! So I bit the bullet and purchased two more Furi chef knives so that when my chefs knife is being repaired or when they are in getting sharpened I have back up knives.I only wish I could purchase the small serrated knife here. I haven't seen that for sale and along with the chefs knife is the one I use the most.Excellent knives. Maybe not top of the range but perfect for me. I do a LOT of cooking, and all of my furi knives are in perfect shape (except the one I dropped) No issues with rusting, they stay sharp for a very long time, they are extremely well balanced and even though my cooking has improved exponentially in the past 14 years since I purchased the knives and I have updated most of the other items in my kitchen during that time, buying only the best cookware etc on the market, I am very happy to stick with Furi for all of my knives!I get them professionally sharpened about, well, honestly, twice, ever. I have decided to step up on that and get them done every 6-12 months which I can easily do now I have backup Furi knives.I purchased one of those Furi diamond fingers sharpening tools and it left some scratches on the blades, so I am just going back to getting them done professionally. Shamefully, sharpening is not my forte and I have accepted that.The Furi knives I use the most are the chefs knife, the small serrated knife, the serrated bread knife and the boning/carving knife along with the carving fork. You really can't go wrong with those knives.But the chefs knife is the one I reach for 99% of the time.My daughter recently watched me slice the skin off a butternut squash and started to ask me why I didn't use a peeler until she saw how quickly and finely I was able to remove the skin using only the chefs knife. Because its weighted so perfectly, when I chop herbs I feel like a professional chef, which is fun and extremely satisfying.If you are looking for a knife that won't break the bank but is an upgrade on what you have, one that will last for decades and feel like an extension of your arm in the kitchen, trust me, buy this knife!If this review has been helpful to you would you please click the button? It makes my day to see my reviews helped a like minded shopper. You may also be interested in some of my other reviews, as I review a lot of kitchenware and cookbooks. I have been known to buy 8 lemon zesters to find the best, and taste tested 9 different Yacon syrups in one sitting to rank them in an Amazon list.

My husband loves this knife. He has big hands and this knife fits him perfectly. He easily chops, dices, etc. veggies and slices through meat and doesn't get hand fatigue. His knuckles do not graze the counter or boards he uses to cut or slice. This is one of two knives that are his go to knife.

Happy that I purchased it it's a great life

All the Furi knives are fantastic. The weight, the balance and the seamless design make them top of class.
