Early on, after we discovered my wife suffered from celiac disease, we upgraded our knives to Cutco, knowing we would be eating at home quite often. We thought we had good knives, but then we used Guilfoyle's knife for the last 2 months. Wow what a difference it is as sharp as the day we first used it. Now, we would instead go through the hassle of cleaning this one Guilfoyle knife than get an already clean Cuctco knife when preparing our meals
Beautiful, well balanced and SHARP. A great addition to our kitchen. Both my wife and I love it.
I'm a full time chef and, while I prefer heavier knives, this blade is absolutely fantastic for work and play. I've been using it for about a month now and am very satisfied with with how keen the edge has stayed with repeat use and zero maintenance! From easy cuts into the flesh of tomatoes, to harder jobs on fabricating bone-in meats, this knife has served me well. I'm not shy to say that I've retired this to my home knife block for daily use to reduce the wear and tear from commercial cooking as I want to ensure it serves me for many years to come. The fiberglass handle feels natural to grip regardless of the task at hand and the German steel is flexible and springy enough to use for most situations. The design is quaint and tasteful, mirroring the high quality and well made product that it is. I would recommend this knife to professional and home cooks alike of any skill level as a incredibly solid tool to carry for everyday use.
I'm petite and I was impressed with the sharpness and easy handling of the chef knife.
The balance and weight of the knife was perfect.
Becareful it's sharp. I accidentally cut through my kitchen towel with the point.
I just got to use this knife for the first time and wow, what a difference from all the others! The weight is just right and it feels good in the hand, even for big, extended jobs with lots of chopping -- like a monster batch of chili. I was able to make quick work of a whole box of fresh tomatoes, as well as mushrooms, onions, peppers and more. Zing! Also, the shipping was very speedy and the packaging is exceptional. Thank you, Guilfoyle, for a knife I'll long treasure!
