Kuhn Rikon JIU Non-Stick Chef's Knife with Safety Sheath, 29.5 cm, Black

I don't normally write reviews but I wanted to spend a few minutes for this product. Bought as a birthday present for my brother I spent a lot of time looking for a high quality cleaver under £50. I know this is 50p over that but it's by far the best knife I looked at, that also includes £80+ cleavers I looked at in person. Incredible Hugh quality construction, perfect packaging to offer as a gift and extremely sharp. I'm going to get another for myself unless someone in the family reads this before my birthday.....TL;DR without any question worth every penny and more. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

This is a sharp knife and should be stored with its blade keeper.Handle could be better balanced and although fairly happy would have spent a bit more for a more balanced handle.This was £19.Very sharp so only use on wooden or plastic chopping boards and in keeper.

Beautiful knife at a great price! I've had this knife now 2 years and find it as good as the day I first bought it with keeping up the sharpening, I've also used this knife at work for the past year as I do prep work in a kitchen and still hasn't lost it touch! I later went on to buy the full set of this and what a beautiful picture on both sides of the knife

A sharp knife with serrated edge. Great for tomatoes and soft vegetables. The blade comes with a slip on plastic safety cover. Not sure it's any better than cheaper ones on the market. Maybe a tad expensive.

Overall it is okay, but handle has a cheap feel about it. This knife is not full tang, despite how it looks in the picture. Blade is excellent on soft foods (tomatoes, salads, etc.), average on potatoes, and poor on harder stuff e.g. squashRecommend searching for a 'full tang'-style knife instead.

This knife is beautifull, got some nice but light handle and outstanding design. After cutting vegtables and general prepare of the stuff it leaves a sign on hand.I'll give it 9/10

Excellent set of knives. Super sharp. I ended up cutting my hand, that's how sharp it is. They look gorgeous. Best knives I've ever used, Slices through anything with great ease. Well worth the price. Only used them for couple of weeks so don't know about long term quality but they do feel very robust.Update: was cutting millionaire shortbread from cake tin and ended up with a blunt tip. Not pleased. They are very sharp but not very strong.

Awesome design which was drew me to the product. It came well sharpened which lasted a good few months before I had the need to resharpen the blade. Unfortunately it hasn't been a year yet and the handle connecting to the blade has become loose. Maybe I'm just unlucky to have a faulty one?
