"Brilliant knives"
14 Sep 2016, Peter W.
Product use: 6 months or more
Pros:
I have a full range of Scanpan knives and they are excellent. I have had them for nearly 10 years and they really do stay sharp with regular steeling...I use a diamond steel...also by Scanpan. They are hefty so probably suit bigger hands but I find the heft and balance perfect...I am 5'11". Pricewise they are great value even at full retail but Briscoes regularly has them on special at 30% to 40% off
Cons:
They are quite heavy so it is very much a matter of what suits your hand size and strength. Remember, slicing and chopping are very different techniques but I find the cook's knife very good for both...the curved blade gives a very good "rocking" action for dicing and chopping but the blade is also long enough to slice well...it has a very keen edge.
Recommend it?
Yes, I recommend this product.
