Cuts Beautifully and Feels Premium
I love this knife. It’s great value for the money and the blade is extremely sharp, which makes cutting vegetables so much easier. It glides through tomatoes effortlessly and definitely saves time. The knife also has a nice heavy weight to it, which I prefer, and the handle feels smooth and comfortable.One of my photos shows this knife next to a 5 inch Santoku for size reference.It comes gift boxed and even includes a cleaning cloth, which was a nice touch. Overall, excellent quality.

Unique Angled bolster makes this the most comfortable knife ever!
The best part about Cutluxe knives is the excellent quality steel and my favorite feature is the unique, incredibly comfortable, angled bolster. This knife places itself in your hand in the correct position and after an hour of chopping it won’t cut into your hand. This knife is one of the best quality, most comfortable chefs knives I’ve used and I own many much more expensive knives. I’ve had this for about two months or longer and I use it several times daily and it holds an edge very well, just a few swipes on my ceramic hone (by Mercer) and it’s good as new. It’s a full tang blade, three rivet construction, heavy, squared shape handle. It has a perfect curve for chopping and pivoting. Fits well in a large hand but not too big for an average hand, it’s well balanced and did I mention the angled bolster, so awesome!Now, as I mentioned in my video, there were some finish issues on the handle in the beginning. The metal protruded from the handle on the tang and was quite sharp. I had no issues getting it replaced immediately and the replacement was better. The newest cleaver they just came out with was fine so hopefully Cutluxe has fixed that issue and it seems they have. I love this chefs knife, if you didn’t know what it cost, you would assume this was a couple hundred dollars when you hold it in your hand. It’s amazing you can get a knife this awesome for the unbelievable low price. I own the set, I’m honestly not as in love with all of the set, I don’t like the bread knife, it won’t cut hard bread or the big clumsy paring knife but I can tell you the chefs knife, the cleaver and the boning knife are the big standouts in the Cutluxe lineup. I highly recommend this chef knife as well as the boning and cleaver knife, they are fantastic!

6-month (4/4/2021) update: I use this knife every day and still haven't sharpened it yet. It still cuts through everything fairly easily. Tomato sometimes needs a poke first, so it's close to needing a pass or two through the sharpener, but come on! Six months of staying sharp? How cool is that? I hand-wash and immediately dry & put back in the plastic sheath it came with, making sure to slide the tip into the little extra bit of plastic. If I had a knife block of some sort then I wouldn't bother, but I'm a little limited on space so it lives in a drawer with it's less-than-awesomely sharp brethren. I still haven't cut myself because you gotta respect this blade. Five stars well earned, Cutluxe!(11/19/2020) This Cutluxe 8" Chef Knife is a serious pro-grade knife. Before I go there, there's no mention of a sheath - so I included a picture of the plastic blade and tip covers that comes with it. I've been very careful with it and 3 months later it's still protecting the knife. It's not meant for long-term protection, but for me it's nice to know that I won't slice my hand reaching for the knife, and the blade won't get scratched up in the drawer. I'll get a better solution soon - a magnetic knife holder or a real sheath - but for now, this works. On to the knife!It will cut pretty much anything. I've never hacked apart frozen green beans before, but this knife cut them clean with no damage to the blade or edge. I have cut apart a rotisserie chicken, but I've never had a knife slice right through the middle, bones and all. Like I bought a spineless chicken! Anything else I've cut using it daily has been great: tomato slices paper-thin or however thick you want. Same for onion. Minced garlic? No problem. Broad blade makes the initial smash easy. At this point I wouldn't be afraid to hack down a tree with it, use it to strip the branches and peel the bark, and carve that tree into a sheath. Hmm, there's an idea...Top grade steel and a full tang for durability. Handle is big, so you want to use the pinch grip at the bolster which is the default for chef's knives anyways. Bolster is contoured beautifully and the balance feels good. Handle is solid. Have I mentioned that I haven't sharpened it ever? It's still just as sharp as the day I got it months ago. All I do to take care of it is hand-wash the blade right away, rinse, and allow to dry before putting it away. Daily use, multiple times a day people. Paper-thin tomato without any ragged edge. Every day. This should have been the Forged in Fire official knife.

Sharp knife, careful of the heel
This is really a 5 star knife. I held back because of one manufacturing or design flaw. The blade at the heel is very easy to cut yourself on. It's an easy fix, however. I just hammered the heel to eliminate the point.Otherwise, for the price, this is an excellent knife. Very well balanced, and SHARP!

Great knife, love the substantial feel
I started with the butcher knife, and have decided I need to upgrade my most used knives - like this chef's knife - in this set. I love the substantial handle that provides a solid feel, and the heavier blade which makes slicing through harder vegetables a breeze. These are sharp, so mind the edges, but as they say the surest way to cut yourself is with a dull knife, so no danger here. Wish they had a bird's beak paring knife... I will be adding more of these to my knife drawer.
