Sharp Kitchen Knives Set of 2-8.5 Inch Chef Knife & 5 Inch Kitchen Utility Knife, Pro Chopping & Cutting Knife with High Carbon 7CR17MOV Stainless Steel & Titanium Nitride Coated

You know how sometimes you pick up a tool or instrument & it just feels RIGHT!? This was my Hackney Chef knife experience with the Vosteed brand. I am not a chef, but I do cook at lot -- AND I'm a huge knife lover/collector. This knife has become an instant kitchen favorite! Even at first glance I could see the quality -- & then picking it up I felt it had an ideal balance. When I put it to the test preparing a meal, my hand fit the excellent ergonomic handle just perfectly. The index finger rests forward & the downward slicing motion is smooth & effortless. The blade has a beautiful finish & the G-10 handle has a sculpture-like faceted appearance (reminds me of Art Deco!). There is even a classy logo embedded on both sides of the handle -- quite stunning! This knife is both beautiful & supremely functional. I can't wait to put it through the paces doing my favorites: Cajun gumbo & jambalaya! Vosteed is really making a splash in the knife world (in the kitchen & also folding knives) -- & they are superb values -- outstanding quality for the small dollar investment. Check out all the Vosteed products -- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The media could not be loaded. Im a professional Chef and one of my coworkers, told me about that knife and I decided to give it a try, the proce is ridiculously cheap for that kind of knife, I used that knife for almost 2 month before this review, is a really, really sharpest knife I ever used, is a solid knife that performs very well on a variety of kitchen prep duties;It performed very well on all of the cutting tasks with little effort; I was particularly impressed with how precisely it cut raw, boneless skinless chicken breasts into strips with minimal effort.is a great all-around knife at an affordable price. It delivered on its promise of a non-slip ergonomic handle, offering a sure, comfortable grip that makes it an ideal choice for beginners, too. I recommend that knife 100% is a solid, all-around chef’s knife at a great value.

This is a fantastic chef knife, and I highly recommend it.It is designed to be held as a chef knife pinching the blade between your thumb and index fingers. If you try to just hold from the back of the handle it might be a bit uncomfortable with the edges at the heel of the handle.The knife is very well balanced and cuts with almost no effort thus making this easy to use for long periods. The blade has a slight curve that makes rocking the knife for mincing and such very easy. The end of the blade has a very nice point to it as to make it easy to push into then cut but not worry the tip will get broken. The knife cleans easily with no staining of the blade due to its composition. Sharpening, when needed, should be easy due to the blade shape. I have not yet needed to do this as it came razor sharp out of the box. The packaging the knife came in is very nice and a good place to store if you don’t have a block or similar storage.Please keep in mind that this is a big knife and not meant for paring or eating with.

These knives are extremely razor sharp. I have purchased 2 for my wife and three for friends. Did I say SHARP - Yes all of us have cut ourselves the first day of using them. I have warned my friends of the sharpness. All of us love this knife brand. Vosteed does it right. Definitely hand wash these knives to keep them narly sharp. Worth the money. And have band-aides ready. The sign of a proper knife.

I couldn't be happier with these knives, I'm a knife guy so I know something about knives and this one is lightweight, it has a thin Edge for slicing which is fantastic, it has this channel cut up at the front of the knife which I think has to do with something of not making the slices stick together because they don't which is also great and the steel is decent enough that after almost 3 weeks it's still just about a sharp as when I got it. And it's a reputable company, Vosteed makes really good pocket knives as well.

These two kitchen knives..... its like i hit the jackpot!They're light and razor sharp, beautiful and fits well on my hands, makes me enjoy cutting vegetables and meat, now i just look for random reasons to cook so i can use them.The package was well made, you can see they value the the hard work they put on the knifes, they even send guards, i feel like it should be a felony if anyone damage these beauties.Im not a big fan of "pocket knifes"But im hoping that Vosteed will sell more then just knifes for kitchen, like sharpeners, cases, etc. Ill definitely come for them.

The hackney is my go to knife for any quick knife tasks in the kitchen. It comes with an very tall blade and comes down to a very sharp edge. The steel composition is great for ease of sharpening and maintenance. My only complaint is in the handle (pictured) where the shaping seems uneven. This doesn’t hinder the performance of the knife whatsoever though. For the price, I can’t really complain. Overall, this knife will do everything you want it to in the kitchen. It will also keep an edge better than any “stainless steel” knife you can pick up at your local grocery store. I will be purchasing more and would recommend this if you want to step up your kitchen knives, but don’t want to buy expensive brand names.

Sharper than my Mac MTH-80, Global G-2, Wusthof Classic, and my other chef knives right out of the box. I don't know yet how long its edge will hold. But I'm loving how extremely comfortable it is to hold, much to my pleasant surprise. But if you prefer heavier knives like Wusthofs & other German knives, you might find this knife to be too light (it's very much like those very light & very expensive Japanese knives).To me, this knife is a great value. And it looks like a museum piece I hesitate to use it for fear of scratching it.
