Customer Review: Disappointing size, edge life. - Chef Knife ok value
Summary: 3 Stars
Update:
Since this review I bought the Kyocera knife below Kyocera Revolution Series 7-Inch Professional Chef's Knife, Black Blade and also received the chef knife in this set as a gift. Shenzhen Knives. White Ceramic Chef's Knife
I've tried to use the knives equally and use the Shenzhen as much as practical. It is a useful second knife. After getting the Kyocera, I was considering buying a second one to have a spare in case i needed to send it in for sharpening or so that two of us could be cutting at the same time.
This gift solved that problem. I still prefer the Kyocera, but thought it fair to adjust my review to neutral (3 stars) from poor (2 stars).
Without a time crunch involved, I took my time to compare the knives. While I can't really see the edges, the Kyocera seems a little sharper. The Kyocera has a more rounded tip and heel (rear edge of the blade) which I disliked at first, but now prefer.
I knicked myself once with the heel of the Shenzhen, but it didn't even draw blood. I do pay more attention now. I am 6'2" and have large hands, so I really appreciate the larger size of the Kyocera.
The Shenzhen chef is certainly usable and I will continue to use it. If you are struggling to justify $40 on a chef knife, then the Shenzhen is a good value. If you are able to sit with $80 for a single knife, I recommend the Kyocera. The differences between the two chef knives are relatively small, but my original purchase included two knives for $30 that I couldn't use for anything, hence the original return.
The knives are also weighted very differently. The handle on the Shenzhen is heavier and therefore the whole knife is heavier. Neither weighs much. about 90 grams according to my less than accurate scale (5g accuracy). I like the feel of the Kyocera better, but the balance is barely noticeable during use.
Original 2 star review:
In less than a month of primarily me using the chef knife because others in the house were nervous about breaking it, my girlfriend commented on how it was already getting duller than it was initially.
I thought about it and had only used the other two knives a few times because the handle clearance was so minimal.
These are tiny knives. The slicing knife is about the size of a small steak knife. The "chef" knife was very small for a chef knife, but useful for more operations.
In the end, if I had only bought the chef knife at $40 I might have kept it, but $70 for one useful knife that was losing it's edge rapidly was too much so I returned the set.
I am thinking about trying the 7" KyoceraKyocera Revolution Series 7-Inch Professional Chef's Knife, Black Blade to see if it is any better. I will try to find something to cut that I can cut again in 25 days to determine blade life. I'm not sure what will be a consistent item, maybe red potato or tomato any test suggestions are welcome.
