Round Lake ILI was a little hesitant when I purchased this knife. I am used to a heavier blade but the look and price point were too attractive to pass up. It is super sharp out of the box and the handle is great. I flew through some onions this evening at frightening speed and even though light,I loved the blade. I think it will be a workhorse but time will tell. So far...so fantastic!

Benton,LAFor $99 this is an AWESOME knife! For $150 it would still be an awesome knife!
I have full review of this knife in the CKtG forum for those that might want to know more about it: http://www.chefknivestogoforum.com/goko-19c27-stainless-damascus-240mm-gyuto-t4736.html

NOLAI have been wanting to upgrade my kitchen knife quite some time. Wasn’t sure about spending $250 plus on a knife. When I saw this I jumped right in. WOW! So glad I did,didn’t know what I was missing out on. I grabbed an onion and was extremely impressed. I keep my knives razor sharp and have a damascus chefs knife as my regular kitchen knife. I thought it was good,but it isn’t even on the same playing field as this knife. Seriously thinking about sending one to my Mother and Father now. Thanks!

lynden Wa.Impressive knife for the price. Light and sharp out of the box. The only drawback is the resin ferule.

NCBought this as a gift for my brother & sister in law. Was a real beauty! Didn’t get to use being a gift. But,wish I had bought two since Mark had such a good price on them. Really surprised at how light this 240mm is. My sister in law loves it! Ordered on Monday,received on Wednesday. As always the sales and service were excellent at CKTG.

Maui,HawaiiThis is a great knife: thin,nimble,excellent edge retention,looks good,and cuts really well. A bargain at $99 when I bought it,but at the current price still a bargain. Only downside is the handle,but I had Matt D. make a custom one and now its my favorite go to knife.

NCGreat customer service as usual. Ordered on Tuesday received on Thursday. The knife is very exceptional for the price. FF is very good,OTB sharpness is very good. All this and Blue #2 steel! It is an exceptional knife for the novice and the line alike. The only thing I would add would be a Japaneese handle or the option for one.

Portland,ORLight and nimble. Blade heavy and the thinnest knife I own. I have used it everyday for 2 weeks or more and have honed it once or twice a day on ceramic. Still pretty damn sharp. I haven’t performed every kitchen task with it yet but it has done great so far.
0.3By: Josh
OhioOutstanding knife for the price. Wicked sharp blade right out of the box. The weight of the knife is intimidating at first,but after a few uses,you really get a feel of the knifes full potential. Not to mention the breathtaking Damascus finish. Wow!
0.3By: Mike B
Atlantic City,NJSolid purchase! This knife is extremely light,the balance point is closer to the midpoint of the steel. The handle fits well in the hand and takes no time getting used to. Highly recommend this knife if you’re getting into Japanese knives or if you’re looking for a new overall awesome chef knife.

louisville,kythis knife is fantastic! second knife purchased from CKTG. (wonderful service by the way Thank YOU!!!) definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a decently priced quality knife. I have not sharpened it yet,it was sharp as piss right out of the box. Do recommend ordering a saya.

Bethlehem PaBought this as my first japanese knife and have found it very useful. After a few weeks of pretty steady use at work it still remains sharp. My only complaint is that the blade is way too thin and the knife itself is too light
0.3By: Hampton Stevens
Atlanta,GaThis knife retains a super edge. It was much lighter than expected considering the 240mm size. With most the weight in the blade. I Mosdef would buy another. Other line cooks always ask to use this knife when cutting tartar.
The only thing better than this purchase was dealing with Mark. He answered my question quickly,and help guide my purchase. Thanks guys,I can’t wait to buy my next knife from y’all!!!!

Arkansas OzarksCan’t find a better knife for the money that is stainless. I’m not a big fan of stainless,but I love the Swedish steel in this blade. Not only is it very attractive,but it cuts great and is easy to sharpen. Get It!

I love this knife. I got it on sale and am super happy with it. Super sharp OTB. It is light and nimble. The handle lacks quality but is very functional. I definitely recommend.

Eureka,CAWonderful stones,good feedback,extremely fast cutting and durable. Can’t ask for much more than that.

Izmir,TurkeyI break this set into #400 stone and the rest three stones (#1k,#3k,and #5k). I use #400 stone on my japanese single bevel knives for aggressive sharpening or in progression after very coarse stones,like #150-#220. #400 is a hard stone,and it is very dish resistant. But,pay attention,beacuse it is very hard and can demage your edge if you hit the stone at its corners.
I use the rest of the set for regular sharpening progression of double bevel japanese knives,like Glestain,UX10,etc. This set should do for your stainless steel knives. #5k gives a toothie edge,but that is what you need for stainless steel knives,even for carbon steel knives,it is sufficient IMO. If you want to go further,I would recommend adding #6k Yellow Penguin,#8k Snow White,or #10k Chosera,which all seem to have similar attributes,only different grits. On #8k and #10k,swipe it for five times per side to prevent over-smoothing your edge.
As an alternate to this set,especially for carbon steel double bevel japanese knives,you can use Shapton Pro 1.5k,2k,and 5k. I cannot comment on Shapton Pro 8k stone,because I have never tried it.

Tampa,FLI purchased this knife years ago when I began to learn kitchen and knife skills. I found it an excellent tool for that purpose at the time,and particularly well-suited to comfortably learning to use a 10" chef’s knife (which is a size that may be intimidating to some novice users).
I don’t use it as much now since I’ve acquired a number of knives that are better-suited for specific tasks. But it still sits in one of my knife blocks and I use it when the need arises. And I’ve given this knife to each of my grown children as a good choice for learning to use a 10" chef.
Since I have fairly large hands I appreciate the substantial girth of the Fibrox handle,and my hands rarely feel sore after long sessions with it ...something to consider if you’re of the age where that happens more often (isn’t getting old fun?)
If you have smaller hands,you may want to consider a smaller size (the 8") that might have a more comfortable grip. That said,my daughter who has fairly small,slender hands likes this size.
Also,the Fibrox handle provides excellent grip,something to consider when you’re learning to use a knife this size and want to avoid misplaced cuts or injury,or you’re hands are getting often. I’m not sure I’ve ever used a handle that has more grip with wet hands than the Fibrox.
I think one has to evaluate the Forshner chef knife for what it is....namely,an excellent tool at a great value price for light to moderate use,which in my experience is what many,if not most,home users demand of a chef knife. A good number of times I’ve put it in my knife travel bag to take to friends/relatives,and had them say they would buy it after using it there.
And they did.
:)
I haven’t found it to hold to hold an edge for extended periods of times,so it may require sharpening after a few hours of cutting. If you’re learning knife skills,you need to learn sharpening skills,too,so isn’t it better to learn on a knife in this price range instead of a high-priced knife you might damage severely?
Sure,there are knives out there that will hold an edge longer,but in my experience,they have usually cost me more.
The performance has equaled a fair number of knives I’ve used in the $50-80 range.
If you’re looking for a knife in this price range to learn on,or use it moderately in your kitchen,I think you’ll be satisfied.
I know I am.
I give it 5 stars on evaluating its performance in comparison to other knives in it’s price range.

Rochester,NYI recently purchased this knife because I needed a cheaper everyday chef’s knife for a new kitchen I am working in. I love the knife and have no complaints so far. The size is perfect for my style and the size of my hand,and the quality of the product far exceeds the price paid. My current chef who is a loyal Wusthof fan will actually steal my chef’s knife to butcher fish because he knows it is sharper than anything in his roll. Great product,highly recommended,and shipping took no time at all.

Deerfield,ILI have been researching the hell out of chef knives. I’ve read Chad Ward’s great book "An Edge In The Kitchen" as well as Cook’s Illustrated reviews and of course the various knifeknut sites. I have to say,I am proud of myself for getting this chef’s knife. Believe me when I say I was tempted by the Japanese gyutos. But this is really one of them,with the advantage of steel that bends rather than chips,and without the $200 and up price tag. Just the fact that this knife is included in testing against those says a lot in my opinion. I thought I knew what sharp was,but I didn’t until I got this one. Out of the box,it was sharper than my old Chicago Cutlery when it was sharpened on a Chef’s Choice 110. It was sharper than what I used in a BBQ restaurant during training (Dexter-Russell). This thing is flat-out badass. You think about the cut and it’s done (be careful with your fingers!).

usaYou cannot beat what you get for the price. This knife can become extremely sharp with some care. It may not keep the edge as long as higher quality knife but a little touch up will bring it back. Its in rotation with masahiros,tojiros,kikuichis when i work. Only complaint is the handle. Like the material but i have trouble getting a really comfortable grip on it sometimes
