Product Description
Whether you're a beginner or a professional, the chef's knife is the most used knife in any chef's collection. From slicing potatoes to dicing onions to making julienne cut carrots, the chef's knife is extremely versatile and can be adapted for virtually any use.The Calphalon Contemporary Chef's Knife features a hand-forged blade made of high-carbon, no-stain German steel. The blade's edge is fully tapered from tip to heel for greater cutting versatility. The shape of the blade is slightly curved, allowing you to easily rock the knife back and forth on your cutting board while you chop. The carbon steel blade will maintain its edge longer and is easier to sharpen than ordinary stainless, and it will resist rust, stains and discoloration.The Calphalon Contemorary Chef's Knife features a bolster and full tang that provide balance and strength to the knife. Together with the full tang, an ergonomically contoured handle will provide comfort in your hand. The name of the knife is etched into the handle, so you don't have to guess which knife you're pulling from your block or other storage means. Calphalon Contemporary Cutlery is backed by Calphalon's lifetime warranty.

I bought 6 different knifes 5 brands that sell for under $200 a set, this one is in the middle, I like it a lot, weight is good, hefty, I like the lines, big hands are very comfy, it almost might be too big for small handed people. mine was dull, after sharpening it seems pretty good, with OK edge life with reasonable use. I steel it before use, its a solid performer that is not going to compete with high end knives, but would probably be a great first nice knife for anyone that is looking to get away from cheap sets. I give it four because it was pretty dull at time of purchase, but you never know how many times it got shipped before I bought it, so other results may vary.

I own many knives including several Wusthof’s but I must admit that this one has been the true workhorse of my kitchen. Its a heavy but very versatile knife that possess amazing sharpness and balance that comes in very useful for just about any task from cutting up whole poultry to chopping up vegetables. I highly recommend it especially at this price.

This is a handsome knife with its heft and the full-tang full-forged stainless steel body, a great knife in the kitchen and value for the money. I have had this for over 2 years now (gift from my daughter). It has become my knife-workhorse in the kitchen because of its convenient weight, its size; that it is well-balanced and keeps its sharpness.

I’ve been getting into cooking and was in the market for something better than the super cheap lightweight knives I’ve used my whole life, and decided before shelling out triple digits for a high end Shun or something, to take it in baby steps and try a mid range knife like this and see how it goes from there.
This is a GREAT knife for me to use around the kitchen. It glides through raw meats and vegetables alike; cleanly and effortlessly. It’s got a good heft and feels very solid and reliable but is also well balanced. I’m still very careful and methodical with slicing and chopping, but this knife (plus the 5″ and 7″ Calphalon Santoku set) have taken the chore and effort out of it and made it a real breeze. At this point, I don’t forsee a need to upgrade to the high end; these knives seem VERY well made.

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.

I bought this knife at TJ Maxx.(Go figure!!). I love this knife. I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT perform in a kitchen with dull knives. This knife is the BOMB!!! It cuts with very little effort from me. The blade is SHARP and stays sharp. Its precison is wonderful for a knife that doesn’t cost over $100. I own a wonderful knife set but I truly use this knife for everything, from pot roast to strawberries. The ONLY ONLY reason why this knife did not get 5 stars is because of the rust spots. I was told about something I can use so I’ll be taking care of that problem soon but other than that, I believe every kitchen should have one.

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.

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.
