Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Anolon Advanced 8-Inch Chef's Knife
Customer Review: Great knife
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the 8'' chef's knife several years ago at Macy's (for way too much) simply because I had just started cooking regularly and had no idea what to get. I still LOVE this knife and would only use this one. I just ordered the paring knife and got the big, useless knife set off of my counter (4 more inches of counter space-yay!) because I only need my chef's knife, my paring knife and a bread knife.
The chef's knife is a good weight and the handle is non-slip. So if your hands get wet you don't feel like you need to grip it tighter and have less control. It sharpens beautifully (although it does stay sharp for a long time) and I like the cover it comes with because I can just throw it in the drawer and not worry about it.
This is an amazing value--you will use this knife for years and years.
Description of Anolon Advanced 8-Inch Chef's Knife
The most indispensable of knives designed for chopping, slicing and dicing.Branching out from its already successful cookware line, Anolon introduces a cutlery collection using high-grade materials with good weight. The Advanced Collection knives feature blades forged from high-quality German carbon steel that resists rust and food stains. The stainless steel is ice-hardened for additional strength and longer edge retention. Blades are then polished with glass to produce an edge that is meant to be simultaneously sharp but smoother to the touch.
This 8-inch chef?s knife is ideal for chopping, slicing, dicing, or mincing fresh fruits and vegetables. However, the smooth edge works better on softer foods and feels a little dull when cutting through harder vegetables--such as winter squash or raw sweet potatoes. Immediate sharpening on a fine steel is recommended before using this chef?s knife to bring its edge to a sharper and safer angle for exact and injury-free cutting.
Full tangs and a counter balance cap on the Advanced Collection cutlery provide superior balance, while a rounded blade spine adds more comfort during extended periods of prepping. Ergonomically-shaped handles increase the comfort level of using these knives, and the cushioned non-slip Santoprene padding offers a secure grip, even when cutting with wet hands.
This chef?s knife comes with a tiny plastic tip to safely cover its point while resting on the cutting board between chopping tasks. A larger plastic sheath is also included to protect the blade during in-drawer storage. Anolon guarantees this cutlery under a lifetime limited warranty and, for proper maintenance, recommends hand washing and immediately drying knives. --Cristina Vaamonde
