Purchased based on Cook's Illustrated review of the 8" version, and I am not disappointed. If you are accustomed to a heavy knife, as I was, it will take a little bit of time to get used to the light weight of this one. But, it didn't take long for me to appreciate the lighter weight (chopping and slicing for Thanksgiving dinner). I have since ordered the 8" and the round-tip slicer, and have been happy with all of them. My next order will be for the boning knife and a 6" chef's for the smaller hands in the house. The ideal size for me would be a 9"... I find the 8" to be a little small and the 10" to be a little large, but I find myself reaching for the 10" more often than the 8". Another review complained that the knife does not hold an edge. I have not found that to be a problem in two months of relatively heavy use; I only use wood cutting boards and that may be a factor in the edge life. For a knife that costs less than $30, this is a great buy!Get more detail about Victorinox Cutlery10-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle.
