Rocker Knife, 7 inch Salad Chopper Chef Knife for Herb Rocking and Veggie Chopping, Vegetable Cleaver in High Carbon Steel with Ergonomic Handle - Fiery Phoenix Series

Owned this knife for 5 years and it still performs like day one. Razor-sharp edge, holds up to daily use, and the Damascus finish still looks stunning. Only picked up a couple of small chips over the years but that's probably due to my mishandling/treatment/maintenance than anything else; nothing that affects performance though. Excellent quality and worth every penny.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Love this. Definitely not rust-proof, but that's an easy fix if it does get rusty (vinegar). I always wash it by hand. Was VERY sharp right out of the box, and has stayed pretty sharp for the year or so I've had it. If I had to buy again, I might buy the version with the little divots on the side to keep veggies from sticking to it. I don't expect to need another, though, because this is extremely well-built (at least from what I can tell). I use it for pretty much everything except cutting bones and ice. Also like damascus steel is pretty but that's just a bonus

This is one of the better knives I’ve purchased. The quality of the blade and handle is amazing!

Good knife, would be better if it was sharper.

I love this knife. It keeps a sharp edge with just a minimal effort. It’s the perfect size and shape for dinner prep. I have other good knives, but I nearly always reach for this one. I have sent two of them as gifts! Recently Tuo has added other kinds of knives that match this style. I sent one of them as a gift too! I have a Japanese paring knife that I received as a gift, but I usually use the Tuo paring knife that matches this one. Very practical and beautiful knives! At good prices too!

Ordered a few of these to have for guests or when my shuns are sent out for corrective sharpening. Functionally are great. Very sharp. Well balanced. Aesthetically awesome. I actually love using them. The only thing is that the steel seems to be not very hard. It gets dinged up pretty easily unlike my shuns that take a beating and have never dinged in the 10 years I’ve had them. I doubt the hardness rating. Good thing they aren’t expensive. Just plan to take appropriate case to file with each use and occasional sharpening and honestly it performs like a knife 3x the cost. Some have commented on design flaws which I will address: - heavy handle and drop issues. This is highly subjective. I like a beefy handle and I find it perfect. - knuckles don’t clear bottom when chopping. I do t have this issue. Ever. And I have thick hands. Unless you’re a giant... - knives unbalanced. Nope. I find them perfect. Awesome value for the price. Have used everyday for a year, cook huge batches, still look and function like new.

As described!

This knife is a joy to use. While looking unwieldy - it is the opposite. It is unrivaled by any other in my, admittedly, vast collection. Every time I use it I feel guilty about not having reviewed it. To assuage that guilt I state that this is an excellent tool in sharpness, balance, feel and quality.
