Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Katana Stainless-Steel 7-Inch Slicer Knife
Customer Review: My First Quality Knife
Summary: 5 Stars
I only started learning to cook seriously this year and immediately bought new cookware and appliances. I ignored knives because I thought a knife is a knife is a knife. Boy was I wrong! I got this knife upon the recommendation of a friend to buy just one good knife to see the difference. After handling quite a few different knives, this one felt the most comfortable in my hand. The handle is very ergonomic and has no bumps or protrusions that would force your hand to be in only one place or cause blisters when cooking for a crowd. I got the slicer because it was on sale.
When I got it home, I was able to appreciate just how sharp it is. Of course, the true test is how it performs and I have to say, this knife exceeds all expectations. I was able to get almost paper thin slices from a lovely ripe tomato. The little depressions running along either side of the blade are to keep foods from sticking to the blade and they deliver as promised. Everything I sliced just fell away from the blade neatly and cleanly.
I also used this knife to slice up 15 lbs. of potatoes for mashing and I was thrilled with how easily and quickly I accomplished this. It sliced through the largest potatoes like butter with almost no force required. When I was done, I had no hand fatigue at all!
I've been using it daily for a month now and it remains razor sharp. I do use a steel every time I use it, as recommended by my "good cook" friends. I've also purchased 4 more of these Katana series knives and I definitely recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a quality knife.
BTW, these knives have a lifetime warranty from Calphalon - no questions asked!
Description of Calphalon Katana Stainless-Steel 7-Inch Slicer Knife
Named for the sacred sword carried by Japan's Samurai warriors, Calphalon Katana Series cutlery has its roots in a centuries-old tradition of superior cutlery craftsmanship. Like the awe-inspiring swords wielded by the Samurai, Calphalon Katana Series cutlery is crafted using a time-honored layering process that creates a Damascus style blade, clad with 33 stainless steel layers. This unique series of cutlery uses VG Japanese steel, which provides exceptional sharpness and ultimate edge retention. These knives also feature a patented integrated bolster design and an ergonomically designed poly-resign handle. Because of the long slender blade and a curved cutting edge, these slicing knives are ideally shaped to help make consistent, beautiful slices. The kullens along the edge help reduce friction, which prevents food from sticking.Carving Knives
