The metal quality feels exceptionally good for a stamped blade. It's the same kind of metal as the best classic chef knives. It's heavy and solid, and the surface is smoother and more polished than similar forged blades I've used. The handle is very utilitarian. It won't win any beauty contests, but functionality-wise it does the job very well. It's easy to grip, and feels very durable. There are a number of good options at this price point and below, but this is a great value for a solid bolster-less chef knife.

This kinfe has it all...great performance at a good price. This is America's Test Kitchen's top pick for a moderately priced life. Buy a sharpener to go with it and you're set to go. I've given this life a a couple of gifts. Once you have one you'll be spoiled.

Nicely balanced. Sharp and comfortable to use. A real bargain for the price. Not, it's not a $200 hand forged foreign made knife, but for home use, absolutely great! After a few weeks, all it takes is a quick run along a sharpening steel to maintain a great edge.

The Victorinox 8" Chef's knife is a great knife for every kitchen whether you are a chef or not because it balances between great value and great edge for the price. But be careful a lot of amateur chefs like myself are not used to the sharpness right out of the package! I bought my first one two years ago in 2016 and cut my finger severely just removing the knife from the packaging! So yes handle this knife with care the moment you buy it. In 2016 I paid around $25 for this knife and since then word has traveled around a bit and now that same knife costs around $45 from the manufacturer. But it's worth it. The knife holds its edge like no other. It has a superior design. and at $45 its still a bargain I just bought a brand new knife and gave my sister my old one. I tested my old knife against the new one I just bought on eBay. The old one is almost as sharp as the brand new one and there is no reason why this knife will not preform the same way for you as long as you handle it with care and store it properly. Along with this knife I bought a knife magnet I store it on the wall when I am not using it. I am 57 years old now but when i was young I worked in restaurants and kitchens first as a dishwasher then pot washer. Through promotion to prep cook and line cook I was in charge of the grill cooking steaks but I never made it to chef though. I know the value of a good knife and how expensive they can be. In fact the chefs I worked with always took theirs home at night because they were that valuable. A good knife is the chef's best tool and you can spend thousands on a great chef's knife this knife has the power to cut through a chicken and be your best tool in the kitchen. I believe if you buy it maintain it and respect its power you'll grow to love yours as I do mine! Joe ARead full review

Bought it because it always wins the America's Test Kitchen review. I see why. Very sharp out of the box, around a 15 degree edge. Good balance comfy grip, plenty of finger clearance. I own a couple $120+ German chefs knives, and the Victorinox, while it lacks the heft of a forged blade, does every job just as well.
