Customer Reviews
Great Knife (2010-07-12)
Very pleased with the quality of this knife. It is very sharp and well made. The price was right too!
Great knife for the price. (2010-03-29)
If you're reading this review, either you cook alot or are buying for someone who does.
I started with the Calphalon Santoku which is an excellent knife but more suited for certain styles of slicing/cutting (think widely applicable for prepping Asian cuisine whereas the Chef knife is in line with American/European) leading me to this knife. Steel is fairly good quality and holds its edge well. It is well-balanced for high speed chopping with a full-tang in the handle. The grip on the handle is ergonomic for slicing/chopping, however it may not have enough "grip" on the surface if you want more heavy duty chopping (in which case you should be using a different knife).
Overall, the Calphalon is a quality, no-frills chef knife that I have found to be the most versatile piece of cutlery in my kitchen set.
Excellent knife (2010-03-21)
This knife is a great value. Top quality product with a great weight balance, sharp edge, handle fits well in the hand. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a quality chef's knife but doesn't want to pay $99 for one.

my calphalon 8 inch chef's knife arrived about two weeks ago and i've been busy using it ever since. excellent knife. great balance. just feels right in the hand. and it comes from the factory very very very sharp. excellent value for the price. i only wish it were made in the u.s. not in china.
Best Knife (2009-04-15)
You could not get a better chef's knife for the price. Inbelievable. I have had mine for 6 years and never had to have it sharpened professionally. I keep it very sharp with a steel.
I would never buy any other knife now. I use to only buy Henkels. I must have had at least 6 of these through the years at about $100 bucks per knife. The Calphalon is way easier to keep sharp....and I like the weight better too.
