Its from a real knife company so I figured the steel must be at least legit. Seems pretty sharp. Semi-thick blade with taper (not stamped flat sheet super cheap-0) but not too thick so semi-lightweight and might be backpack friendly as dual use kitchen knife and mini-machete, and for $9 it could be abused without worry. Most "outdoors" knives seem very awkward for food prep. Thinking about getting a sheath for it. Main feature is the nice big ergonomically shaped handle for guys with larger hands. Seems well built and finished to high shine and no flash on the plastic, etc.

Says not dishwasher safe, but I can't imagine it hurting anything since its just steel and plastic, and who puts big knives in dishwasher anyways?

For a full size chef knife from a real knife company it (so far) seems like a fantastic deal for $9. 194grams. I think the plastic handle helps keep weight down VS similar knives.

Ontario knives seem like good professional quality but still cheap basic knives, but I have to take a file to the butt of the handles to round them so they don't dig into my palms, and they don't seem to have a chef's knife which seems like the #1 knife to have unless maybe you are a legit butcher.

Thanks! I ordered one too. AUS-6 is pretty low quality but should be able to touch up. For $9 you can't beat it!

So this has actually been a pretty decent knife. I bought a few more for gifts and for camping.

cool, I was thinking of getting a 2nd, even though I've got other big knives.

I like to only sharpen them all at once, then not for a few months.

If I had to equip a bunch of employees for food processing or cooking class etc these would be my go-to.

I?m happy with it was surprised at the quality, I?ll use it around the grill and smoker.

Similar but much smaller, lighter and cheaper. Flat sheet beveled only on one side. Maybe that is "fish", but still very handy all around Chef Knife. Should be in stock at your local Daiso for about $1.50. Much, much better than Dollar Store cheap trash knives. IIRC brand is "Galaxy" which is semi-respectable Japanese (now made in China of course) brand.
