This is a fantastic, heavy-duty chef's knife. The thick blade gives it a substantial, weighty feel that's perfect for both the kitchen and outdoor camping.I've had this knife for about eight months now, and after a quick sharpening on a whetstone, it has kept its edge incredibly well. The weight of the knife makes it easy to chop through tough vegetables, bones, and even a filled water bottle—it's a real workhorse.My husband gets lots of compliments on its great look when he takes it camping with the Scouts. Just a heads-up: because it's a high-carbon steel blade, not stainless, you should wipe it with a thin coat of cooking oil after washing to prevent rust. With that small bit of care, this knife is a phenomenal tool.

Let’s be real — this knife looks awesome right out of the box. The full tang Serbian-style cleaver has some serious weight to it, and it chops like a champ. It’s quickly become my go-to knife for everything from prepping meats to slicing herbs.The set also includes a comically small bonus knife — it’s sharp, but more of a novelty. Might be useful for cutting herbs, packaging, or fishing line, but don’t expect it to handle much more than that.One thing I was really impressed with is the sheath. It’s high quality and makes storing the knife safe and worry-free. You can tell it was designed with care — the knife fits securely and the material feels durable.Overall, this knife is a win. Great craftsmanship, awesome weight, solid performance, and a cool look. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a serious blade in the kitchen or at the grill.

I waited a few months before reviewing so that I can report back with accurate information. If anyone is worried about rust, I will address that in this post.I'll start off by saying that the knife itself is gorgeous. It's huge, heavy, and very easy to grip and cut with. I only eat at home and I meal prep 12 meals every 3 days. This meal prep involves cutting a lot of meat and vegetables. My meal preps used to take so much longer when I had regular knives, but after getting this one, it slices through everything like butter. The weight and sturdiness also helps you cut, as it's so bulky that you won't risk bending or breaking the knife if you apply pressure when needed.I did see some photos and comments of rust, but I think those people are just slow and don't know how to take care of something. Walmart sells entire sets of knives for like $10, so if you're going to go and spend $50 on 1 knife, you NEED TO TAKE CARE OF IT. You can spend a $1000 on a knife, it ain't gonna take care of itself. If you don't take care of your items, they will deteriorate. You can't buy a $50 knife and treat it like a $2 knife from Walmart.This knife is stainless steel. Metal + water + oxygen = no bueno. That is basic chemistry, regardless of how much a knife costs, rust will form when a combination of metal, water, and oxygen are allowed to sit for a period of time. Every single time I use this knife, the FIRST thing I do is wash it with hot water and a soapy sponge. Afterwards, I dry it off with a towel. I then spray oil on it, you don't need to be all fancy and get mineral oil, I just spray avocado oil from Costco on it then use a napkin to spread it around the entirety of the knife. The oil acts as a barrier between the metal, water, and oxygen, thus preventing it from rusting. I then put the knife in its leather sleeve and put it away. If that sounds complicated to you, idk what to tell you. It takes me less than 30 seconds to do all of that. (PS you're supposed to do this same thing with wooden/bamboo cutting boards)That is how you're supposed to take care of a knife. If you're going to use the knife, then give it a brief rinse and let it sit in your sink with water and food particles all night before you finally wash it the next day, your knife WILL rust no matter how expensive it is. If you don't want to take care of a metal knife, then go get those cheap cancerous non-stick knives from Walmart.My rant on that is over. Overall, the knife is amazing and has made me much more confident in the kitchen. Bonus, it came with a mini version of the knife which I was able to give to my girlfriend (it's actually insanely sharp so she is not allowed to use it).

Exceeded Expectations – Perfect Gift!I purchased this knife as a gift for my fiancé, and he absolutely loves it! The craftsmanship is outstanding—the photos truly don’t do it justice. The blade is sharp and durable, and the leather case adds a premium touch. The handle is designed for a comfortable grip, making it easy to hold and use.Shipping was fast, and the item arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition. Everything about this knife exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a high-quality, well-designed knife, this is definitely worth it! Highly recommend.

This seems like a quality item, but I can't give it a top rating as I don't think it's right for me, which is not the product's fault. I am used to using astandard butcher knife, or santoku, or similar basic shaped knives. This meat-cleaver-feeling one just doesn't seem natural for chopping veggies (I tried). It worked, but I think 40 years of using traditional knives is working against me adapting to a totally new style of blade. So, if you are not used to using a cleaver-type blade for everything, or if you are not a new cook, you may want to pass on this. Seems like it would be good for chopping meat, but since I am not a butcher, that really doesn't help. This will gather dust in my cupboard and maybe be used once a year, but I can't return it, as I don't think anything is wrong with it. Just not a good fit for me.
