Schmidt Brothers Cutlery, STICH08, Titan 8 Inch Chef Knife

I bought this knife as a gift for my father (he was aprofessional chef for 25 years and he uses his kitchen knives every day). When the knife arrived I opened the package to check it out. After a few passes on my steel this knife was razor sharp and it handled beautifully during a quick "test-drive" in my kitchen. My father isn't overly critical, but I had to make sure that his was a quality knife before I gave it to him because I didn't want him to be stuck using a knife he didn't like out of a feeling of obligation. I couldn't be happier. After one week of use my father said he really likes the way the knife handles (well balanced), and he was pleased that it is a relatively light knife for its size. He also has minor issues with arthritis in his hands, and he finds the cushioned grip more comfortable than the hard handles on most knives.

I realize that there are prople that prefer heavier knives, thicker handles, etc.(like me, for instance), but I found the quality and function of this knife to well surpass its cost. For a very reasonable price Schmidt Brothers Cutlery has produced a great knife. Of course, time will tell if this knife will retian a good edge and keep performing so well, but I am confident that the high carbon steel core and titanium coating of the blade should do just fine in this regard.

Five stars all the way.

I am one of those home chef types that is satisfied with most of his tools, but this knife makes me grin ear to ear. It is lightweight, feels somewhat heavy in the handle but has been a workhorse prepping everything (it is used every day). Out of the "hanging package" it is very sharp (as anything claiming to be a knife should be), the soft grip handle is great (though the packaging cord left a permanent dimple in the handle) for wetwork. It will look a little discolored until you wash it before use (don't freak out!). Staying sharp (yes it is), looking sharp (great design, should help those lacking in the "skills" dept.). Awesome value and a excellent step up to quality cutlery for most home users.

This knife is probably the best knife I've ever used. It easily out shines my Calphalon, Tramotina and JA Henkels, all of which were more expensive (a few are double the price). I hope the edge sharpens well once the factory edge needs redone, but so far so good.

In starting a new venture in the culinary world, I wanted to have my own knife. Schmidt Brothers was recommended to me by some people who are career cooks/chefs and so it was one of the first names I looked for. I saw this stylish black knife and was immediately drawn to it. What a great decision it was to purchase it two months ago. I am very happy with the comfort and feel of it in my hand. It's also holding it's edge extremely well. I've used steel on it only a few times because I've only needed to do it a few times. My co workers in the kitchen also told me that they really like it as well. Very Happy!
