Schmidt Brothers Cutlery, SSOFO08, Stone Cut Forge 8 Inch Chef Knife

I have been using this blade for a few months now. The steel is excellent, the same type that is used by the major German manufacturers. It takes a good edge and retains it well. The knife fits the hand well and has comfortable ergonomics. The bolster has the "Schmidt curve" built in for comfort and safety.

Some chefs prefer this curve, some prefer a knife that is straighter from toe to heel. This blade is especially good for those chefs that use a rocking motion in their slicing because there is a very noticable curve in the length of the edge from toe to heel. Depending on your technique, or in the type of cut you're making, this might not always be your choice for your only 8 inch knife, but it IS of excellent quality and would be an excellent addition to your arsenal. This knife is easily worth double it's retail value.

Easy to use, and sharp, an overall great kitchen knife. I have had this now for 2 months and still very sharp. I would recommend this knife in every kitchen.
