This is a review of one of my chef's knives I made someone for Christmas. The dots in the short review are where I have taken out the personal parts. I asked the person to be honest with me about any problems they were having or anything they did not like about the knife, they did not say anything to answer me on that subject though. Keep in mind when they mention that it is starting to get dull that is after more than three months of everyday use.
I love the knife, Silas. I have a 2" x 8" India oil stone and some special sharpening oil, that I ordered just for this knife... I haven't sharpened the knife yet and it's still pretty good, although one indication that I need to sharpen it is that it won't cut tomato skins easily. I intend to sharpen soon though.
It's beginning to develop a nice patina, but no rust, since I wash and dry it after each use.
Again, I'm very pleased with it, especially the nice tapered blade that slices with very little resistance.
