Messermeister Meridian Elite Chef's Knife - 10

i decides to retire my ken onion 10" and i chose to go with german steal this time

it came out of the box with a nice sharp edge and was polished like a miror... only issue with that is even when its nice and clean it still looks dirty at least mine does...

i use this knife 4days a week for about 10hrs a day along with my 12in mercer when im the 10 is to small

but most times this knife does just fine if you looking for a smaller knife i would tell you u look and see what u have at home and measure them to see what you like a 10" is a big knife to some people... its what we were forced to use in culinarty school all thoes years ago... if u know how to handle a 10knife then its the only knifr you will ever kneed... there is part of the blade that can be used like a 3 to 4in knife and a place on the blade you can pound on things with if u know how to... over all you will be very happy with this knife

fyi this knife hold an edge very well and it is very easy to re sharpen with a 2k stone and a 8k to polish the edge to make it a razer

I absolutely love this knife. It is much nicer than any of the knifes that came in my knife set which is a pretty decent set. As long as you take care of this knife it will treat you very well. If you get this knife in a 10 inch you should also get a 6 inch knife as well and the two will basically take care of all your cooking needs.

Meridian Elite knives are the best I've ever used. The chef's knives are all wonderful: well-balanced, comfortable in the hand, and they keep an edge very well. But a 10-inch chef's knife is not for everyone: this is a BIG knife, and if you're used to a more common 8-inch blade the difference can take a bit of getting used to, particularly if you use the front of the blade a lot. I suspect all Elite chef's knives are a bit heavier than their counterparts by other brands, or at least comparable Henkle's or Wusthof pieces, but I find that makes them very easy to work with, particularly when using the back of the blade. This is not a knife for a beginner or for a small person, but if you know how to handle a blade and your hands are comfortable with such a big knife, this is a dream to work with.

I keep both Wusthof Classic 8" and an Elite 10" (and an Elite Santoku) in my block and I tend to use the Elite far more, particularly if I'm chopping or mincing a large batch of stuff. If the 10-inch blade is a bit long, go for a smaller Elite. The Wusthof is excellent, to be sure, but I find myself reaching for the Elite more often. I just love working with Elite knives, and the price is entirely reasonable for such an excellent blade. You can't go wrong.

PS: This knife is longer than some knife-blocks, and you'd hate to have the tip of the thing bonking itself against your counter-top. So a quick measurement might be in order. If I faced such an issue I'd get a new block rather than change knives.

This was a good knife. If you are looking for a chef's knife that is balanced and light,though, this knife is very heavy, and probably will wear out your wrist. It would still be a good chef's knife,and might even work as a cleaver. I also had to send it back because this 10 inch knife is too big for a regular kitchen. I'm going to get a 9 inch instead.
