![Longzon 4-in-1 Knife Sharpener [4 stage] with a Pair of Cut-Resistant Glove, Original Premium Polish Blades, Best Kitchen Kni](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71U-I8fu2XL._AC_UL116_SR116,116_.jpg)
First, as background, I want to confess that I am a knife nut. That means I collect all sorts of knifes, from utility to tactical and everything else in between. I know way more than I should about the metals used for knives, from D2 to Aus 8 to CPM S30V, etc. I know about which metals are high carbon, which can hold an edge well, which are easy to sharpen and will retain an edge. I say all this to say that I am very picky about any edged tool I use. It has to look good, feel good, and I basically want every knife I have to be usable for shaving.
I had read a lot of reviews about this knife. There are many like it on Amazon, but this one seems to receive consistently high marks. Plus, it cost next to nothing. $18 for a chef's knife is as low as you would ever find. Look on the high end, and you can find chef's knives for $400+. I figured I would try this one out as a "nothing to lose" proposition since it had received such great reviews.
This knife arrived in the mail today. I looked at the package. Sure enough, a well made and beautiful custom package for such a cheap knife was a pleasant surprise. I took it out and held it, and immediately it felt just the right weight and balance for a knife of this kind, begging to be used. I tested the edge. As many had said, it was razor sharp, much sharper than most knives when they are sold. But, as I ran my thumb carefully along the edge, I felt that the edge could be made even sharper. So I spent 5-10 minutes running the knife through my array of sharpeners. Then I tested the edge again. Let me tell you, there was no need to try to slice paper, or shave hair off my arm. This knife was so sharp that it nearly scared me. I have over 50 knives, many quite expensive. Only a few has ever reached a level of sharpness that this chef's knife has now reached. As it happens, I have some beef on hand that I wanted to prepare for dinner. I used my new knife. After cutting for about 30 seconds, I mentally told myself to be VERY careful with this knife in the future, because that beef was being cut like tofu. I mean it when I say: "Scary sharp".
So there you have it. If you want something with molded steel, or actual demascus steel, or something you can leave to your kids as an heirloom, I don't suppose an $18 knife will cut it. But if you plan to be making dinner, and you want to cut stuff up with a knife that can be made ridiculously sharp, and will cut anything and everything with almost no effort, I highly recommend this one. I would pay much more for it without any regret. But for $18? It's a steal. Buy one for yourself now, and keep that edge away from your fingers!

Great knife at a great price!
I cook full time for a living and I wanted a decent backup knife to add to my main set. This knife is very well balanced and came pretty sharp out of the box. The Damascus style steel is most likely lightly printed onto the knife blade, but it still catches in the light and looks kinda cool. The knife itself is very light which I like, and the wood grain in the handle looks nice as well. I have yet to use it on the line but once I get some hours into it, I’ll update my review with notes on durability.

Most of the people complaining about the knife getting dull after a few weeks, do not actually know how to hold or use the knife. Use a honing rod after you are done, wash it with plain water and dry it with a cloth. The knife blade is very hard and brittle, so it could potentially break on falling from a height. But i can’t complain that from a 10$ knife which has a center of gravity right at the wooden handle and blade intersection and an awesome pattern on the blade.
