Imusa 8 Inch Chef Knife

There were 2 reviews for this knife before, one of them mine. Now they're gone. So here I go again.

This is a great bargain. I bought it with zero expectations. The intention was to use it purely as a camp knife, something that I wouldn't mind throwing away if it got too rusty or banged up on the trail.

I couldn't be happier. It was relatively sharp from the factory. Not quite tomato-shaving sharp, but sharp enough for most kitchen duties. The blade is rigid enough and the steel is fair. It holds up to sharpening well. After a little grinding, this knife is quite sharp!

The handle is very basic and pretty small. It's like a steak knife handle; perfect for little hands. There was no thought put into the ergonomics: 2 wood planks riveted to the tang. It's easily the least comfortable handle in my entire kitchen, but it's still acceptable.

Bottom Line: For camp duty, this is a home-run. For home use, it's just fair.

I got three of them. They are well made and the price is great. I use them all the time and only hand clean them. I don't soak them in water or soap. I just wipe them clean. They come sharp enough for me. So far they have easily cut through any job.
