  • Good 10 dollar knife
Size: 8"
I am an owner of several higher end knives from Japanese forges (Makoto Kurosaki, Toshihiro Wakui and so on), and this knife is by no means the same level of production, it's not a particularly impressive steel, it doesn't have nearly the same hours of work put into it as those, but this is not a high end knife, this is a 10 dollar knife. With all that said, I was actually pleasantly surprised by this knife. The knife is overall lightweight, the handle is a lightweight wood with a half-tang construction which ends up tipping the balance point towards the blade itself, this makes the knife more suitable for a pinch grip (for those less experienced, this is a good thing) The fit and finish was surprisingly good as well, neither the spine, nor choil has particularly sharp edges, making the pinch grip very comfortable for a 10 dollar knife. While the handle is reasonably fitted to the blade. Cutting performance is really exceptional for such a low-pricepoint knife, it is by no means exceptional, but the blade is significantly thinner than that of European style knives, this means the blade geometry will make the knife better at cutting soft produce. In order to compensate for the thinness, the steel is not hardened to a very high HRC (probably around 56 I'd say), this means that the edge retention is not particularly good, this knife will need frequent honing if you want to maintain the out-of-the-box sharpness, this is the same as with most low-mid end knives. That said, this knife is so thin and soft that honing is actually quite enough to maintain a decent edge, you will not need to sharpen this knife if you are otherwise used to European knives. And because of the blade geometry, this knife will still cut quite well even when dull. It should be noted that this knife is NOT intended to handle the same workloads as thicker blades of equal or lesser hardness would. This is absolutely not a knife meant for hard produce such as bones. It is purely a vegetable and filet knife, which it does better than any other knife in this price bracket, from my experience. Overall, this is an expectational knife for the price. Personally, I grab this knife whenever I just want to do a quick prep without performing the ritual of care that high-end knives require. But I can imagine that if you don't otherwise have a high-end Japanese-style knife, this knife can easily become your favorite knife for vegetables and fileting. ... show more

  • Best knife for the money, hands down!
Size: 8"
I am a pastry chef and having been using this as my every day knife for 2 years now. I bought it on recommendation from a colleague and have not been disappointed! This knife is lightweight, well balanced, and comfortable. I have tried many of my colleagues knives all at varying price points, and while some of them were a little better or could be used for more things, I just can't bring myself to spend that much money on a knife. This knife arrives really sharp and has maintained that edge fairly well over the two years I have had it. I can count on one hand how many times I have had to sharpen it on a wet stone. I do use a steel to hone the blade everytime I use it, and if I'm doing a lot of. Slicing and dicing I may hone it multiple times. Just a couple pulls on each side and it can slice through tomatoes ease and cut herbs without bruising them. The blade is a little thin for cutting anything that is too hard, like a block of chocolate, but I have a larger, sturdier knife for things like that. But for an everyday knife to chop fruits, veggies, and some meats, it gets the job done. You will not find a better knife for the money. And everyone of my co-workers who have tried it out cannot believe that it cost me less than $10. I have 2 other Kiwi knives as well, and while this one is my favorite because of the size and utility, they are also of equal quality and have maintained an edge with only one wet stone sharpening each. Kiwi has a customer for life in me! ... show more

  • Quite possibly the best knife out there for the money
Size: 8"
I cook a lot. Both personally and professionally. If you asked me what knife to recommend as a general all-purpose chef's knife I would tell you a Global G-2. And I wouldn't be very wrong. Anthony Bourdain said it is the best starter chef's knife. But it would likely cost you something north of $100. So why am I telling you this when I'm reviewing the Kiwi Brand Stainless Steel 8 inch Thai Chef's Knife No. 21? For perspective. I was in Bangkok a couple of years ago. My wife and I took a cooking class for fun. I'm always interested in learning something new. It wasn't so much cooking techniques that I learned as it was that this knife existed. I liked it. The knife was surprisingly sharp, easy to hold, and enjoyable to cut a variety of produce and proteins. Searching around on Amazon I found this knife which looks to be the same one I used in the cooking school. So I bought it. Why not? Spend $10 or so and see what it can do. Well, it pretty much does almost everything. I wouldn't recommend cutting bones with it. That said, for 95% of what one is likely to do in the kitchen this knife will more than accomodate. And the price is right. I wouldn't toss it in the dishwasher if I was you. Oil the handle occasionally. And sharpen/hone as needed (or every time you use it if you want the very best results). Enjoy it. This knife punches far above its weight. I highly recommend it. You won't regret buying it. ... show more

  • Great for price
Size: 8"
For how cheap it is this knife is quite good. Super soft and thin metal so will require frequent sharpening and feels cheaply made but that is to be expected. Can be sharpened to razor sharp and cuts good when maintained

  • Phenomenal Knives
Size: 8"
I have had a #171 for about 8 years now, and it is hands down the best knife I've ever used. I can't speak for anyone else: I am not a professional chef. However, easily one of the only knives I am afraid of because it stays so sharp. For example, if you pack it for camping or leave it in the sink on accident, you should be very careful removing as you will cut yourself just gently brushing against it wrong. I needed a bigger knife for larger vegetables and cuts, so I purchased this #21 and a #22. Out of the box, the quality is even better with these bigger knives. It's was even hard to cut something as the knife is cutting into the cutting board so deep on a slice that it was getting wedged with just the small amount of weight from the knife. Very easy to Hone, very light, stays sharp, feels balanced. A joy to cook with. Fantastic value. ... show more

  • Light, Strong, Cheap - I thought we could only have 2 of the three?
Size: 8"
This knife is so great. I bought it for $7.99, from reading other reviews it seems to move around between $8-$11 or so. It has become my go-to knife, and I have a few high dollar chef's knives in the drawer. It arrived incredibly sharp, and stayed that way a good while. When it starts to lose that edge, a few passes of a steel bring it back to that sharpness level easily. The best thing about this knife is the width - it's a combination knife and spatula - you can chop up a ton of onions, bell pepper, chicken, whatever, and then scoop it all up easily on the broad side of this knife and toss it in the skillet, bowl or wherever else it needs to go. For this price point, I really don't see how you can lose on this purchase. ... show more

  • You can't beat this price.
Size: 8"
I bought this knife after doing a ton of research. I am someone who really enjoys cooking in my free time. Anything from Mexican food, sushi, Mediterranean, soups, pastas and whatever else you think of, i cook it. First impression: This knife has a thinner blade than some which made me skeptical at first. The wood handle has a bit of texture to it, but I like it. It was sharp enough to shave my arm when it arrived. I had no issues cutting vegetables or meat with this thing. After months and months of use: I have sharpened this thing 4 or 5 times. I use this knife daily, sometimes 5 or 6 times a day as I cook 6 meals a day. When it gets a bit dull I use a steel on it. A few times on each side and this thing is razor sharp again. Its seriously the easiest knife I've ever sharpened. I am going to start buying different styles of this brand to see how they do. I 100% will and have recommended this knife to my friends and family. I know of 2 who have purchased this one after giving them my recommendation and they love it. Yes it is a bit cheaper than some other knives, by hundreds of dollars in some cases, but for the 11 dollars you cannot beat this knife. I could buy this knife every year for 20 years and have only spent the cost of getting one 200 dollar knife. I recommend this to anyone. ... show more

  • Great value and decent knife
Size: 8"
These are excellent for the price, they last long enough and are my go to knives in the kitchen. I own 3 of them, sharpen them as needed and if one gets ruined no big deal. A chef friend in San Francisco turned me on to them saying he uses them for all his prep work and bought them in Chinatown. Great tip and they make great gifts for aspiring home chefs. ... show more
