Genesis 8-Inch Chef's Knife

I have an array of knifes from shun to wustoff to Kuhn rink on .. for the cheaper end of 30 this knife is fantastic one of the best weighted fir me personally has enougth weight in it to cut veg good (were some of the light weight /Japanese knife fall short but is also light enougth to use for hours on end comfortably and sag dice cut onion . The retention is good I use my steel on it maybe once every 4-5 hours of use it's gets sharp. My wustoff are only the other knife I manage to get sharper but fir 30 pound this is a good all round knife and I would recommend it as a first knife . Handle is probably best Iv used tbh onfiryable and fits hand well

Knife performs well and has good ergonomics.

Excellent quality, pretty sharp factory edge and takes an ever better edge if you sharpen it. The grip is very good, I think it's the best grip of any knife I've tried. I weights about 250 grams, it fits a standard messermeister or any sort of blade guard you want to use (unlike my Victorinox). I bought it on sale for 20$, and for that amount I would wholeheartedly recommend picking this knife up, it is a sturdy workhorse and will not disappoint you if you're looking for a German-style, heavy knife.

I use these at work all day every day excellent quality and my coworkers use them all the time because they hold the edge soo good that it slices everything so cleanly. For a chef knife that does not break the bank it’s an excellent buy. I have three two with the short bolster and this one. And I have been using them for over three years and I keep adding to them same knife different times and they all work great!! Once I retire them I use them for cutting through bone at home and still work and hold the edge great!!
