## Description

Product Description This is the largest of all the chefs knives and instantly recognisable, the well-known shape of a chef’s multi-purpose knife has become a classic in Western kitchens and this super-sharp 30cm blade is great for cooks who prefer to work with a longer knife. Safety Warning Hand wash only. Not suitable for dishwashers. This will invalidate the lifetime warranty. Hand wash, immediately dry and store. Do not leave the knives in water or on a draining board.

Review: A chefs quick word - I put my own edge on with water stones as I am fussy so I cannot say what its like out of the box (I remove the bevel for a finer edge. More prone to chips. But this knife seem to be more resistant to them) . I bought it in case my Global G17 breaks, so I can compare it to that. To put it short this knife is amazing. It was still razor sharp after a month of heavy use in a busy professional kitchen. The harder steel edge is more harder to sharpen but holds a much finer, sharper edge for a lot longer. I probably could have used it for 5 weeks or longer. The Global isn't as sharp and lasted a week before needing sharpening. The handle isn't as comfortable as the Global, the balance is pretty much the same but the blade is far superior. So good the I.O. Shen is now my main knife and I am no longer such a Global fan boy. The Global have better handles and better if your hands get sore after a few hours of usage. But if you are using a knife for that long the I.O. Shen's blade would be more suitable for you. Cons: If your using a polypropylene or wood chopping board and have just sharpened it it seems to dig into the board wrecking them quickly. If they are not your boards it doesn't matter :D
Review: Fantastic knives - You can spend a lot of money on kitchen knives and these aren’t cheap but they are some of the best steel and heat treat and geometry of any knives I have ever used for their intended purpose. I have several and they are better than my wusthofs my zwillings etc. these are good enough to hold their own against some custom makers and that’s saying something. You get what you pay for most of the time, here you get more. Highly recommended from a steel and food nerd!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW!
*by M***N on 31 January 2011*

Whoever thought you could get excited by knives - but I am!! Always had "high-street" knife blocks before, but decided it was time to invest in some good knives. After looking around the Good Food Show, and holding various makes, I O Shen became the one for me. It sits nice in the hand, a nice weight, and OMG how it cuts! Potatoes cut like warm butter, carrots without effort, but the big test of course in onions. It slices through so cleanly there are very few fumes to induce those onion-tears (which is actually caused by crushing the onion layers, so the sharper the knife, the fewer fumes) They also wash nice, anything clinging to it slides straight off, and they dry to a nice polish - just dont put them in the dishwasher as it will dull your blades. They may appear to be expensive, but you'll find you only use two or three, and if you look after them, these knives will last a lifetime
