This knife held its edge through a week of heavy meal prep, and that black titanium coating hasn't shown a single scratch even after hitting a few bones. The steel feels genuinely tough in the hand, not flimsy like my old chef's knife. It's already become my go-to for everything from onions to pork

Cut through a dozen ripe tomatoes and a butternut squash without a single wobbly cut—the 14C28N steel keeps that edge scary sharp. The black TiN coating wipes clean in one pass, which is more than I can say for my old knives.

The black TiN coating on the blade hasn’t chipped or scratched after weeks of heavy use, which honestly surprised me. It glides through tomatoes and butternut squash like they’re butter, and the handle feels rock-solid in my grip.
