Actually bought this over 10 years ago. Coating has become scratched but, with correct sharpening, still has had a great cut. I decided to buy a new one at this years Ideal Home, but after chatting with the demonstrators decided “why replace it?” And bought the paring knife instead! I have three chefs knives, but this is still my go to. Buy one, look after it and it will do the job.
I went to a cake show thinking I would buy much. I came across a demonstration of this magic knife and immediately bought one. It has changed my life. I now chop everything up so much quicker and am buying lots of different vegetables as it's easy to chop them up now! I definitely recommend these knives.
I have enjoyed these knives for the last couple of years and find them very easy to keep sharp. I never wash my knives in a dishwasher but the other day the handle snapped! Very disappointed as this was my favourite knife in the set, but need to think twice about replacement as this seems to be an issue others have also experienced.
MAGIC KNIFE 14 April 2019. Hi Steve, we do have just 2% that fail, and many of these are because of the way the knife is used or cared for. Please email us on phil@magic-knife.website as we are happy to exchange your knife under guarantee. Cheers, Phil & Lesley
The handle is comfortable however while the blade works well, it would be better if the end of the blade near the handle was rounded off and not left sharp as it is easy to catch yourself on it and cause injury.
MAGIC KNIFE 14 April 2019. Hi, we have looked into this before and found that when the heel of a knife is rounded it will not work as well when using the rocking action for finely chopping herbs, garlic and the like. This suits some people more than others as it depends how the knife is gripped. Cheers, Phil & Lesley
I purchased a box set of magic knife 2 year ago at the ideal home show. To say I have been pleased with them is an understatement, they are a great knife. Do they come with a warranty and the handle has broken of on the 5” knife?
MAGIC KNIFE 08 April 2019. Hi Steve. Please email me on phil@magic-knife.website and we'll get this sorted. Cheers, Phil & Lesley
I LOVE these knives so much that I ordered 2 sets of 8”, 5”, and 3” blades for myself and additional sets as gifts. The blades make any any cutting, slicing, or dicing precise and easy. My personal favorite is the extremely versatile 5” knife but the 8” and 3” are also fabulous. The one improvement I would suggest would be on the handle. Such terrific blades deserve sturdier handles that won’t break as my original handle knives did after 4 years of use.
MAGIC KNIFE 07 April 2019. Hi Claudia. Many thanks for your kind comments. We only have 2% of knives that fail and many of these are due to user issues such as inadequate sharpening or putting in a dishwasher. Changing the handle would almost certainly involve a price increase, so with such a low failure rate we thought we'd leave things as they are for now. Cheers, Phil & Lesley
This is an excellent kitchen tool. It keeps its edge well and requires very limited sharpening. It is in constant daily use and we have come to rely on it for almost all our cooking.
Brilliant, slices through anything cleanly. Easy to clean. Handle grip is comfortable and feels safe secure.wished I’d had them years ago.
Great multi-purpose knife when sharp but the edge does blunten quite fast. So it needs lots of sharpening, fortunately magic knife also do a blade sharpener which is compact and easy to use - don't forget to add the sharpener when your purchase.
MAGIC KNIFE 08 April 19. Hi John. Sorry for the delay in replying, I did reply at the end of March but messed up posting it. As a rule of thumb the knives should be sharpened about every two months, unless they are put in a dishwasher or used on glass, or similar hard surfaced, chopping board. If you feel there's an issue, please email me on phil@magic-knife.website Cheers, Phil & Lesley
I'm loving this knife. I bought an 8" one and felt that I needed a smaller one. It's so good for tomatoes and other small items. I wonder how I managed without it for so long. I've recommended Magic Knives to family and friends. I used to use Global knives!!
It's doing pretty well so far. No complaints at all.
Only ever need these knifes for effortless cutting of vegetables no resistance felt from the design of the special blade
This knife is definitely the best you will ever buy it is extremely easy to cut even the most stubborn Vega tables like swedes without effort
This is a brilliant knife, I use it for each meal/snack preparation. It's a great bread knife, especially effective for slicing soughdough/artisan loafs. Love it.
Knife is great, although I have to sharpen it more than what I was initially told to keep it in prime condition
MAGIC KNIFE 19 March 2019. Hi Joe. About every two months is the rule of thumb. However, if your putting it in a dishwasher, or using it on glass or similar chopping boards, it will be a lot more often and its life will be reduced. It could also be that your sharpener is at the end of its life, about three years if it's one of ours. Please do email me on phil@magic-knife.website if you feel we should look into it. Cheers, Phil & Lesley
