ZHANG XIAO QUAN SINCE 162870Cr17MoV Chef Knife, 8 Inch Professional Kitchen Knives Sharp High Carbon Stainless Steel

Watch your fingers, that's all I have to say.

This impressive chef knife has a double-bevel blade (Western style, not like a sushi knife that has one bevel and one flat edge) that is straight and will lie flat on a wall magnetic holder. The knife is one continuous piece of metal with the handle attached to both sides. It has a decorative pin on the handle for some extra bling. The knife is comfortable to grip, though the brads and the pin are slightly raised, so it may become uncomfortable to grip tightly for a long duration. This knife will slice anything you need a chef's knife to slice, and it has a pointy tip that can be useful in deboning a chicken for example. The flat end of the handle can help if you need to quickly crush a garlic clove. If you are giving this as a gift, remember that in some cultures, giving a knife as a gift should come with a coin to avoid bad luck.

This is an excellent knife for the price point. I think I like the price the best about this knife! It is a great knife for the cost. I own and use many different kitchen knives from different makers, some inexpensive and some very expensive. This knife feels more expensive than it is!It has a full tang for balance. It is a good weight in the hand, easy to maneuver and use. The handle is securely riveted with no gaps for bacteria to hide in. I hand wash all of my knives, and it washes cleanly and easily. It comes nicely packaged. It is highly giftable. No negatives. Five stars.

I recently purchased this 70Cr17MoV chef knife, and it's quickly become my favorite kitchen tool! The high carbon content (0.7%) really enhances the sharpness, while the 17% chromium keeps it resistant to oxidation and corrosion. I love that the added MoV increases toughness and hardness, ensuring the knife stays sharp and durable for longer periods.The ebony handle is not only beautiful but also incredibly comfortable. The nearly 50:50 balance makes it easy to use for extended periods without hand fatigue, and the anti-bacterial properties are a great bonus.Whether chopping, dicing, or slicing, this 8-inch knife handles it all with ease. Cleanup is a breeze – just a quick hand wash, and it's good as new! Plus, the stylish gift box packaging makes it a perfect gift for any cooking enthusiast. Highly recommend this knife for its performance and quality!

This is a great 8" chefs knife. It has great balance and distribution of weight from the blade to the handle. The knife is very sharp, and the steel seems very strong so I feel it will last a very long time with proper care.The blade is a bit shallow then I am used to in a 8" chef's knife; but I haven't noticed any negatives because of that. The top of the blade is very straight so the cutting edge of the blade takes an aggressive slope. I actually think it works better than my old chef's knife as this one is easier at dicing.Handle has a nice shape and feel to it and is very comfortable to use even for long periods of time. Full tang, rivets are smooth. Knife is solid and very well made.Definitely would recommend!

I received the "Chef Knife 10100" model. This 8 inch chef knife from ZHANG XIAO QUAN is sharp with a nice weight to it. It's made from 304 grade stainless steel + edge powder foam alloy steel. I wasn't sure what the latter was, so I looked it up:Apparently, steel foams can be used as lightweight and high functional materials due to their high strength, high heat resistance and good weldability, as well as low cost.Side note: 304 grade stainless steel is not magnetic, so if you were planning on using this knife on a magnetic strip in your kitchen, it won't stick.I'm a vegetarian, so I can't speak on its meat cutting capabilities BUT I've been slicing through veggies and herbs (from garlic to sweet potatoes and everything in between) like a champ lolIt arrives in a textured black box that can be used to store the knife when not in use. The handle is ergonomically shaped and feels great in hand. I'm no knife expert (yet), but the weight feels quite nice and balanced lolIt's also very easy to clean. I just use a sponge, soap and water. I usually wipe it dry with a clean cotton towel, but I have left it to air dry with no problems with rust.I highly recommend!

I have a $200 gyotu style blade and absolutely love it. It is my benchmark for all other chef knives. At this price range, I was expecting something completely inadequate, but not was I wrong. This is a very nice high carbon blade. It holds an edge very well, it is easy to sharpen, and the balance is exceptionally well placed slightly in front of the holster. The curvature of the cutting surface makes for accurate and precise chopping, dicing, slicing, and mincing with extreme efficiency. I have not tried any knives in this price point that are anywhere near as decent. I was honestly impressed.
