Chicago Cutlery Walnut Tradition 5-Inch Boning/Utility Knife

Bought three and this particular knife is my all rounder, Chicago cutlery lasts twice as long, easily than other brands, stays sharper longer and replaces my last decade of Chicago knives.

It's hard to go wrong with the price and quality product.

OOPS. What happened? The original set came in a blue package, the two this time came in green and although the blade was the same, I don't like the new handle feel too much. I have bought several of these and this time I'm slightly disappointed in the feel and grip of the handle. When something simply works, don't change it.

Cheers

This knife is very "hand friendly" balanced well and has a good cutting edge. Holds its edge about as well as any I've had. Found it very useful. Amazon has it priced quite inexpensively.

Admittedly my original, well-used and loved Chicago Cutlery knife set is over 25 years old, so perhaps some of the smoothness comes over time. However, in this one both the wood and the metal feel rougher and of lower quality than the old one. The handle is also about 1/4 inch shorter; the combination of shorter handle and slightly longer blade makes it a little less comfortable in handling. All in all, it is a very acceptable knife; it just loses in the comparison contest with its original.

I was looking for more flexibility in the knife. I thought it should give more than it did. I would not recommend it if you have another choice. The price is good, but not if you have to purchase another one to do the job you thought this one would do. Save your pennies and get the knife that's right for you...and the job you have to do with the knife.

The tang is slightly larger than the handle and can be felt sticking out a little on both sides of the handle. The copper rivets also are slightly above the handle, and can be felt. Poor attention to detail when finishing or maybe they have skipped that finishing step.

Otherwise good balance, cuts well, both as expected from Chicago Cutlery.
