Editorial Review:

Calphalon's 8-in. chef's knife from its Katana Series is the one you'll reach for time and time again for day-to-day chopping, slicing and mincing. It dices onions and peppers, makes slender "matchstick" French fries and thinly shreds cabbage. The softly curved edge allows for a gentle, even rocking and gliding motion as you cut. Make use of the whole blade to cut larger items or use the flat side of the blade to lightly smash the skins from garlic cloves. Crafted from durable high-carbon stainless steel, it measures 8-in. in length and its brilliant stainless handle offers stylish looks to your cutlery collection.

I think I'm in love:

This knife is AMAZING. Right out of the box it is super sharp! I originally started auditioning this line of knives with the 6" chef's knife and the paring knife. The 6" was great for the price, but I could tell I needed an 8" for bigger jobs, so I exchanged it for this one. Just last night I was slicing up some green peppers and tomatoes and the knife just falls through whatever you're cutting. I practically had to do no work because the knife did it all for me and just sliced through everything like it... more info

the cutting edge:

Fantastic, it looks great and cuts even better. Nicely balanced for high speed cutting but works in amateur hands as well. The price is outstanding.

Edge Prone to Cracking:

This has happened twice to us with these knives. The first one, I sent back under warranty. The second time, I think I'll just stop using the knife. The thin inner layer is prone to cracking if the blade gets just the smallest chip. With other knives, you can sharpen these chips out, with the Katana, it forms a crack the goes all the way up to the layered cladding. I think the materials design, at least in the 8" Chef's knife, is lacking. We aren't cutting nails here, either. If you have one of these... more info

Fine sharp knife:

I am no chef, just a granny who cooks huge meals regularly for a very large extended family. The knife was a gift over a year ago and I love it. It has become something of a workhorse for me and after all this time and use (almost daily) it has begun to lose just a little of it's edge. I also have very small hands(my eight year old grandsons hands are the same size as mine, which he finds amusing) and I don't have any problems handling the knife. This knife and an ancient, but very reliable faberware paring... more info
