Chicago Cutlery Centurion 8-Inch Chef's Knife customer reviews:

Very satisfied restaurant chef      Wow, I bought this knife back when I worked in a local Italian restaurant in college. I cut and prepped all the veggies and fruit. One of my other duties was sharpening all the knives in the kitchen. After being frustrated with all of the low cost Sysco knives since they were never sharp and could never be sharpened, I noticed that the boss always had his own knife - at first a Henkel and then a Global. I decided to invest in my own knife for restaurant work. This chef's knife was what I found on sale and I can't tell you how please I was (and still am) with this knife. Out of the box - it was so sharp I was scared of it, but I eventually realized what the phrase "a sharp knife is a safe knife" really means, because prep work with this thing was a dream. I bought a plastic holster for the blade so I could use it myself. But every other cook in the kitchen wanted to use it. It feels GREAT in your hand while you are cutting which is due to the shape, balance, shape and material of the handle and the full tang blade. I would also like to comment that it has an attractive classic look to it. I still have the same chef's knife 7 years later and occassionally take it to a professional knife shop for sharpening. What else can I say? I love this knife and will probably buy a full set if I can find one that has everything I want. Oh, I forgot about how great the price is - I have used Henkels, Globals and a few others and I can tell you if you keep this knife sharp you will be just as happy so you don't need to spend all of that $$ on the so-called higher quality brands. Chicago Cutlery has outdone themselves with this knife!
Sharpness      Ok I was given 4 steak knives and the 8 Inch Chef Knife for Christmas last year and found after using the large knife for a couple things that it was not sharp anymore. Not like when took it out of the package the first time. We do have a knive sharpening tool it looks like I don't know a round item that we got from much cheaper knives quite a few years ago and somy husband sharpened the knife "thought it was a life time knife" and alright it was sharp again, but have to sharpen each time want to use or every other time. When husband bought for a gift seeing it had a lifetime warranty, maybe it would stay sharp for a lifetime but maybe we are a little ignorant to the Lifetime warranty, and they don't tell you in the directions you have to sharpen. So as far as sharpness, it's ok but have to resharpen all the time.......
great feel, superb performer, awesome price      The title says it all. The first time I picked it up I was in love.
Excellent steel holds an edge and it is extremely affordable.
Great knife, bad stains      I picked up three of these when they were on sale. True to form for this particular model, it does have a decent edge (though not atom-splitting sharp) and a very sturdy and comfortable handle. It's delightful to have several chef knives available as you go along. It does tend to stick to foods, but you'd need a Santoku knife to avoid that (and good luck finding a good one at this price). The polymer handle is dense and doesn't feel like it will let go of the blade at all. Overall the weight is impressive. But here's the problem... if you so much as look at the knife sideways, it will develop rust spots. Big, ugly, stubborn rust spots. This is not a dishwasher-friendly knife. Buy it for the price and ease of use, but expect to keep it hidden in a drawer.
