Cheap J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 8-inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Chef's Knife

This knife has 2 noticeable drawbacks:

1) Not as sharp as it can be right out of the box.

2) Spine edges are too sharp - sharp enough to cut yourself. I will have them smoothed out.

FYI: 8-inch chef's knife suffers from the same issues.

Also: 10-inch is exactly the same weight as 8-inch. The spine of 10-inch is noticeably thinner than the spine of the 8-inch. However, after using it I cannot say it is a drawback - the knife feels right, not too light, not too heavy. There is very little flex.

That being said knife does deserve a solid 4. It is very convenient to slice hard cheeses from the large wedge - 8-incher sometimes was too small for this. You definitely need to be very careful with it and you will need a cutting board that is large enough.Get more detail about J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 8-inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Chef's Knife.
