The Review
I was very thrilled to be selected to review this particular knife. The R. Murphy Company 10” Chef’s knife is among the most popular of knives. Perfectly balanced in hand, this knife boasts a sharp 12-gauge chrome vanadium steel blade and full tangs riveted to a rosewood handle. This versatile knife is visually stunning, extremely sharp and will take on any food preparation task with ease. A fabulous addition to any well-equipped kitchen!
When I got my knife, I immediately started slicing anything I could find in my kitchen. It is super sharp and just slices through food like a dream! Sometimes I have really had to push to get a knife through an item, but not this one! I have so many knives of varying quality and a few are my favorites due to their size and comfort. This knife, I can honestly say, is now my favorite. The fit in my hand is wonderful and the balance is great too. I was a excited to finally get a 10″ Chef’s knife as the largest I have is a 6″ and it was not big enough sometimes. This is going to be perfect when summer is here and watermelons are fresh. Oh, and breaking down bulk meats to get them ready for freezing, this will be perfect! Another great thing is that when you purchase your knife from R. Murphy, you have a choice of blade composition. I really like that feature!
