Cuisinart Classic 8" Stainless Steel Chef Knife with Blade Guard - C77SS-8CF2: High Carbon, Ergonomic, Rust-Resistant

Very, very, very sharp! Definitely a great value lol

Very sharp. Good weight. Always like Cuisinart.

I bought this knife as an interim solution when my knives were packed away after a fire. Very pleased with weight and sharpness, especially for the price.

Great quality for the price - feels secure in my hand and while it looked very large in person, it is perfectly sized for any kitchen job!

if you are on a budget and can't swing $$$ for bigger name brands, go with this line of Cuisinart knives. We purchased this knife close to 10 years ago and it ended up pitting on the blade. Cuisinart was not responsive in honoring their warranty, so we decided to just buy a new knife. While we want to get a professional grade quality knife that could last the rest of our lives, we don't have the budget for that right now so we just replaced the knife we had with the same knife. Even if we get only 10 years out of it, it's a good buy. And at that point we can upgrade.

I was surprised by the wonderful quality and

Loved everything about this knife. It was really nice and so affordable to. It’s sharp, well balanced, sturdy, and cuts really well like fruits and vegetables and things like that meat is OK.

I bought this as a gift for someone who has never had a chef's knife. I wanted something basic just to introduce this person to the joys of using a chef's knife. When I got this out of the package, I was surprised how light it felt compared it to my own 8" knife. The lightness is a bit displeasing but that's probably a matter of taste. I decided to test the knife and was surprised how dull it seemed. I expected any new knife to seem a lot sharper than my well-used, intermittently-sharpened, 15+ year-old knife that I love. But I actually had trouble chopping an onion with the Cuisinart knife. It might partly be the lack of weight to the knife which, again, I'm not used to. I'm thinking I should have bought the same thing I have myself (Mine is a Henckels but I'm not sure I can say that here). I jsut hadn't realized there could be so much difference between them around the same price point!

my partner and i just moved into our new home and wanted to get a good kitchen knife. as two mid-20 year olds, we didn't know too much about knives nor wanted to get a huge knife set, so we ordered two chef's knives. these came really fast (via delivery) and are super great in quality! they're not heavy at all but also not flimsy! came super sharp and has a cover to seal the blade. highly recommend for novice cooks :)

We have been very happy with other Cuisinart knives in the past but we’re extremely disappointed with this one. It does a very poor job slicing/chopping vegetables, it seems like the blade is dull.

Great knife. The sharpness makes me awe every time.

Good feel, good weight and good value.

I love how sharp it is so it’s easy to slice meats and how it comes with a cover so I feel safe when storing them. The only thing that was annoying was when I was trying to open it, there was a little zip tie on the handle attached to the package and it was very hard to take off…and I ended up scratching up the handle.

I loved the single bodied knife. Perfectly sharp and also comes with a knife case.

Sleek and sharp blade!

Not a premium knife but gets the job done. The handle is round (might look contoured in the photo, but that's a weird illusion). Fairly light. The blade guard/sheath is flimsy.
