I am very pleased with the knife and it has a great performance. However, the sharpner changes the edge (angle is too large) and it decreases the cutting perfromance. I now use a sharpening stone and I do not use the Magic Knife sharpener that does not seem to work very well.

The 8" Magic Knife is a dream to use. It's razor sharp and glides through meat and vegetables effortlessly. It's an indispensable tool for any professional chef and also for keen home cooks. Treat it with respect and it will look after you with smooth, silky slices! Stephen Bennett

i bought one of the big knifes at the royal cornwall show and was so pleased with it, i enede up buying a full set and i always tell people what a great knife they are

Great Knives, easy to clean and sharpen, light to use

When I first purchased this knife I thought it was the answer to all my chopping and slicing problems. It sliced through bread, meat, veg etc like a dream. However, in reality, when it has been sharpened it is fabulous, but unfortunately the sharpness does not last for very long at all. I seem to be continually sharpening it. It has really disappointed me and not been the knife that was described to me when I bought it.
