Best knife I've ever owned
349655
Owning this knife made me question why I've been using average quality knives all these years.  Trust me, it will change your (chef) life.  I'm going to buy a whole set of Wusthof Classics!

Without going in to a long drawn out missive on all the knives I've owned; lets just say I've owned many and leave it to that.  The zero tollerance 0200 will not get lost in your pocket.  It weighs about 8 oz. but fits neatly in my jeans.  I've tried just about everything with it in the 11 months I've owned it.  It holds it edge and hasn't come up with so much as a scratch.  It feels better in my hand than any other knife I've owned.  It's has a longer blade than advertised.  Do yourself a favor and buy this, you'll be glad you did.

This knife is absolutely amazing.  I'm no knife expert, but I have owned more than a few knives over the years, some from major brand names.  Even after reading all the good feedback, I was shocked at the quality of this thing when it arrived.  You know as soon as you take this out of the box and feel the heft of it, that it means business.  It's clear that the blade and mechanism are rock solid; everything locks up tight.  A light flick of the wrist helps the knife to open as it arrives, with no extra oil or modification needed.  The blade is extremely sharp.  This might just be the best knife I own, and the price was absurdly low.  Buy one for you and your friend (and don't tell your friend you didn't spend 60 bucks on it!).

I have had this knife for 9 years and it is still my favorite everyday knife. I use it for nearly everything! Very comfortable to use, unlike some others that seem too big for my hands. For the price, you can't beat it!

One of the best knives I own. The quality is way beyond what I would have expected if I had paid even double for this. I use it as an every day carry(EDC) knife and I am very confident that I will be carrying it for quite some time. Comes very sharp, and holds it edge wonderfully. I use it a lot but even resharpening it is easy as can be. If you are looking for an excellent EDC knife at a crazy good price, look no further.

Best knife i've ever owned hands down. If you ever find this on sale, don't hesitate to grab one or 2. Something to add. I've got big hands and I have finally found a knife that was made for me.

This is the most amazing knife on the planet. It is extremely heavy duty and freakishly sharp. I accidentally sliced my arm with it while cutting a tag and I will bear the deep scar proudly forever! It is basically a scalpel with the sharpness. Given how sharp it is, though, if you cut something that is too heavy duty, it will hurt the blade. Spyderco does offer a complimentary resharpening service for the life of the knife but you have to pay for the shipping to them. The stainless steel handle is the best, hands down. It seems like it would make it very heavy, but it does not, it simply adds more control when you are using it and makes it feel much more reliable and sturdy, whether or not that is the case.

I will never buy another folding knife for my entire life unless it is from Spyderco. The "Spyder Hole" makes opening the knife nearly as fast as an automatic blade.
Spyderco Endura 4 Stainless Steel Combination Edge knife is a solid 10 out of 10. 100% amazing.

I love knives. I am not that wealthy, but I love to grab a knife whenever I have enough money. Yes, Benchmade knives are expensive, but I would take this knife over all of my others except the Mini Griptillian. The AXIS lock is the best locking mechanism of any knife I have ever purchased. The ability to open and close them with the flick of the wrist is unbelievably convenient. In all honesty, Benchmade stands a head above its competition. These knives may be expensive, but they are by far worth it. If you would like a knife with a 3"+ blade go with the Griptillian. If you are looking for a smaller every day carry, I would suggest the Mini Griptillian. You will not regret purchasing this knife.

Best folder I've ever had.  I am not an expert on folders but in my estimation this blows away my Benchmades and Spyderco.  The CTS XHP steel seem held up better than 154cm and S30V in carving dry pine.  The steel is just phenomenal, its not M390 hardened to RC 62, but it takes a hair filleting razor edge, and its not difficult to maintain the razor edge with a stropping after each use.  The spin of the blade is ground to a 90 degree angle, so you can use it with a fero rod, or to make fine wood shavings.  The locking mechanism is solid and sturdy, it feels like a fixed blade when its open.

I absolutely love this knife.  I had been eyeing this knife at Williams Sonoma for about a year. I happened to stumble across it on Amazon for fraction of what it cost in the brick and mortar stores I've seen it in.  It has exceeded all of my expectations.  It is scarily sharp and slices like no other knife I've used.

I actually love the handle even though I did not like the handle on the Global chef's knife. Something about the smaller handle and light weight "just works" for this knife.

It's an addition to my collection that I can't believe I waited so long to get.

this is the third time i've bought this knife and i don't regret it at all.  i bought the first one about 6 years, lost it, bought a replacement, it was stolen, and now i've bought this one as hopefully my last replacement.  it's a wonderful, slim, well designed knife and i will keep buying them. i highly recommend this blade to anyone. i would recommend either the black finish or the plain finish.

I'm sure this is the last Chef's knife I'll ever buy. It's an incredible knife. Yes, it's expensive, but the quality and feel are amazing. The handle is the most comfortable I've encountered. I once thought that a 10" Chef's knife would be unwieldy, and even unnecessary, but if you've only used 8" knives, you MUST try a 10".

Last night I tried my old 8" Chef's next to this one, and I first cut some large carrots lengthwise. The 8" knife was too short to accomplish this in one movement, but the 10" did it with ease. It's funny how quickly I adjusted to the extra length, and how the 8" knife now feels small. I am NOT a big person, so I really suggest trying a 10" if you've yet to do so.

This knife is SHARP, and keeps its edge wonderfully. It's really a piece of art; it's something you feel honored to use each time you bring it out, and I can't help but admire its beauty every time I look at it. That feeling of 100% complete satisfaction is priceless, really. I know this is my knife for life. Thank you, Wusthof!

I received the 6" version of this knife as a birthday present from my two boys.  Prior to this knife, my favorite workhorse was my Shun 8" chef's knife.  But the Miyabi 6000 MCT is in an entirely different class.  It cuts like a surgical tool and it is a work of art to hold.  The knife has a wonderful weight -- it's heavy in the hand, but in a way that makes it easy to cut.  It is perfectly balanced with the center of gravity just at the juncture of the tang and the handle.  The blade is incredibly hard -- 63 on the hardness scale which beats many other more expensive knives, but it doesn't appear to come at the cost of brittleness.  The knife ships with an incredible edge from the factory and I could easily cut translucent carrots, tomatoes and carrots out of the box.  The edge is 10 to 15, which in a lesser steel would lose its edge quickly, but in the few days that I've used the Miyabi I haven't seen any loss.
This knife is pure pleasure to use.  You can't go wrong.

I have tons of knives. This is the best daily use knife I have ever purchased. I absolutely love this knife. Great size to carry in a mans pocket or clip to pocket, great weight, great function. If this one ever wears out I would 100% buy again.

This is the best knife I have ever owned. I have had this knife for over 2 years and it has never given me a problem. Out of all the knives I own this is the most reliable knife i have ever owned. It has never let me down. It is light but not too light, it is big but not too big where people will freak out if you need to use it in public for a daily task, very sharp, amazing handle and grip, the perfect every day carry knife. I would recommend this knife to anyone in the world. The only down side like most pocket knives is the pocket clip is a little stiff and needs to be broken in like a new pair of shoes, but after that point there is no competition within this knife's price range. When ever I'm going out somewhere I take this knife, I can't help my self. This is the only product I have ever owned and can consider it nearly perfect.

I have several knives, and this is my go-to knife every day. It's mainly a beater, and a little of the paint has come off since I got it, but that's only because of the abuse it's been through. The swivel on the blade was a little tough at first but some WD-40 and a little re-screwing and it's great now. The price on this means you won't feel bad about actually putting it to use, and the strength on it is impressive. It's been through many re-sharpenings and ir's still going as strong as the first day. It is also very citizen-friendly. This knife is a must have, definetly. I even ended up buying one for my gf! Absolutely recommended.

I've carried pocket knives for 50 years. This is the best non multitool/swiss I've ever owned. If you've already decided you can get by with a single blade pocket knife I don't think you can beat it.
I bought the no 6 a few months ago. So far it's cut rope and packages, opened mail, enlarged the latch opening on a doorframe, cut/scraped old epoxy off boards during a window repair, sliced apples and oranges for my lunch, served as a drawknife to alter a new ax handle, cut up cardboard for recycling and dispatched & gutted a dinner-size bluegill.
PROS
Takes an amazing edge the thin blade and good carbon steel can't be beat for ease of sharpening.
Fits my hand beatifully. I was convinced the flared fishtail end would bother me. I was wrong it's comfortable with any kind of grip.
Back of the blade is a good scraper.
Extremely nimble and a wonderful slicer.
Cheap.
Amazingly lightweight - carries extremely well.
CONS
Two hands to open.
Not meant for batoning wood, digging holes, turning screws or prying - but cheap to replace if you beat it up too bad.

Useful and even elegant edc. A pleasure to use.
