I bought this much wanted knife and sharpener, from the Good Food Show.. it’s a very useful size, and the sharpener is excellent. My only complaint is that it needs sharpening more often than I anticipated…but maybe that’s because I’m continually using the knife!
MAGIC KNIFE 18 December 2022. Hi, You are right, how often a knife needs sharpening depends very much on how often you use it and what you are using it for. We find with our personal knives about once every two months keeps them in tip top condition. However, we have had customers say that have never sharpened their knives even after many years of use. Cheers, Phil & Lesley
Very impressed with the knife. Super sharp and retained its edge for a long time. After six months it is only now starting to lose its edge and I am sure that the issues sharpener will take care of that! Great bit of kit!
Bought my first 8" knife a few years ago on a whim from a show after trialing it and loving it. Has been my knife of choice for everything since! So versatile, for big quick chops, even down to filleting and intricate jobs. I have since bought a 3" which gets used just as much. Unfortunately I had a problem with my 8" knife which was sorted quickly and replaced, and then treated myself to an extra knife at the same time! Would recommend these to amateur and professional cooks alike. I take my knife with me wherever I go cooking now, and wouldn't be without them now. 5*
My daughter and myself both bought a set of magic knives for ourselves a few months ago and we are absolutely thrilled with them.
Bought my second one of these - fantastically sharp and an absolute joy to use. After using many different knives over the years - this was an absolute game changer - night and day compared to other brands. Excellent value for money - would highly recommend to anyone.
Over the years I've spent a fortune on the best Swiss and Japanese knives. I have no sales resistance so when I saw a Magic Knife being demonstrated, I thought I'd buy it just as a back-up. Once I'd tried it, I realized that it was far better to use than any other in my large collection. After six months of constant use, a few strokes on the Magic Sharpener brought it back to its original state, and I gave away all the other knives and bought the complete set. You won't go wrong if you do the same.
All the knife are great, some peeling of the coating but still sharpe
MAGIC KNIFE 09 December 2022. Hi Clo. Teflon does wear off in time, usually during washing. The wear is accelerated if the knives are put in a dishwasher. However, as you say, it does not affect the performance of the knife. Cheers, Phil & Lesley
The knife performed as promised - and continues to do so. Thank you.
Excellent, have been so pleased with the knives, the peeler is the best I’ve ever had and the scissors cut generally everything in the kitchen that you might need them to. All together brilliant!
Wow! what a knife! Forgotten how efficient a knife should be until I tried my new purchase. Does everything it promises. Glides through most things like butter, a little pressure for everything else. VERY impressed. Have asked Santa for the sharpener!
Probably the best knife we've ever had! It is used on just about everything, but because of that we have had to buy a sharpener as the initial sharpness didn't last. Still very pleased with it though as after sharpening its as good as new. We use it on bread vegetables meat and fish, great knife would definitely recommend.
MAGIC KNIFE 09 December 2022. Hi Lesley, it is possible for new knives to require a couple of initial light sharpenings to bring them to their best. It sounds like you have already found this. You will probably now find that a light sharpening every couple of months will keep the knife in tip-top condition.
Purchased the knife at the Good Food Show (NEC Birmingham) Thursday 24th November 2022, we've used it most evenings in the week since we purchased it, we only use it on a wooden chopping board to cut vegetables etc, we only wash it by hand, it's never been put in the dishwasher and it's kept in a proper knife block, not in a loose cutlery drawer, and a week later it's now completely blunt. Very disappointed.
MAGIC KNIFE 09 December 2022. Hi Neil. We are extremely surprised to hear this. Please email phil@magic-knife.website and we'll get things sorted. In the meantime, do try sharoening it and let me know if that makes any difference. Cheers, Phil & Lesley
Bought the full pack at the home show and is honestly the best purchase we made. I was a little off put with the price at first, however, I got to try it and even cut a turnip which I have never been able to do with any knife before! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend all of the products in the pack, especially the peeler!
So I purchased the 5 inch and 8 inch knives when they first came out at a Surrey show in 2000 and its now 2022 the best set of knives I have ever purchased and still have them. I would recommend them to everyone. Thank you I am thinking of purchasing a new 5 inch knife.
This is a really multi-purpose knife. We use it every day - in fact, multiple times every day! It always does the job effortlessly, and I would recommend Magic Knives to anyone.
