Was gifted this chef knife from a friend so I tried it out on immediately on some taco prep: onions, jalapenos, cilantro, and so far it cuts like a dream! This 8 inch chef knife itself is beautiful, surprisingly lightweight, very sharp, and quite affordable. I have been using it at home and so far I am pleasantly surprised. As long as the edge holds up with continued use I would say this is a decent knife for the price!
