MOSFiATA 10" Super Sharp Professional Chef’s Knife with Finger Guard in Gift Box, German High Carbon Stainless Steel EN.4116 Professional Kitchen Cooking Knife with Micarta Handle

It's really beautiful and useful for work

And if you want a torture test testimony, I prepare 250 meals at a time, using my Mosfiata knife to cut meat, hard vegetables (turnip, cabbage, carrots), and I find it incredibly easy to maintain its original sharpness! by the way, this knife is incredibly sharp, as is its 8" companion, which I have as well. Easy to clean, easy to sharpen, and a very nice balance leaves no hand fatigue even after slicing and dicing 20 turnips (try it and you'll know what I mean.....). Until you master this knife, please use the finger guard. I learned the hard way, as it slices human skin just as easy as it slices a tomato! Don't let that scare you, however...they call this knife "Professional" and I can agree --- without the 'Professional' cost. Incredible durability...I have used my 8" version for over 2 years and now have acquired the 10 incher - - It is absolutely the best knife in the kitchen, and all my sous-chefs want them!

Though this purchase hardly broke the bank, it was the first "higher end" knife I purchased after I determined that I want to become more serious about my cooking. I am very pleased with my first chef's knife. Balanced in the hand, beautiful to the eye, impressive on the job--it does each task at a high level and makes me feel I did myself a favor by investing in a quality implement. It also comes housed in a handsome protective box that keeps the blade out of harm's way when not is use. Highly recommended.

This knife is great . cuts through anything with ease. I have never sharpened it to prove my knife is better then my chef daughters who sharpens hers all the time. It isnt better , but it still cuts.

I bought this knife for the price, looking for ancheaper alternative for my preppers and line cooks but was so impressed with its durability I added one to my set. The thin blade makes it perfect for slicing vegetables (especially potatoes) and the stainless blade makes it easy to maintain. Holds a great edge and looks amazing. If your looking for a knife that won't break the bank but covers all the bases this is the one.
