Review: My EDC of kitchen knives - 6 month review One of my passions is cooking, I have owned and managed several restaurants over the last 20 years never did I think I could or would use a knife in this price range. With that being said one of my employees mentioned they used Misen knives at home and was surprised by the quality. I went to their website and scoured the web for real reviews (if I could find a knife at this price point that actually was as good as the reviews I was willing to put in the time to research). I ultimately ended up buying the entire set on desertcart due to the easy return policy and of course the 2% back). Here's my impressions from day one to almost 7 months. Day 1 arrival and unboxing - All the knives arrived in premium packaging. I washed and sanitized them all preparing to use them for dinner. The knives themselves wereuch lighter than I expected and felt perfect in the hand. The material the handles are made of felt perfect . I would compare it to a ceramic with a matte textured finish. Blades were shard as they should be and ready to quarter some Cornish hens. All of the blades cut just as well as my much more expensive set. Vegetables diced perfectly. One of my favorite features about these knives it the angle at which the blades are forged. For instance the chef knife angle is different than the paring knife angle allowing each knife to perform individually perfect at the task it's supposed to do. One month in and all the blades are still Sharp. Edges are clean and no honing or sharpening needed. Although I don't use every knife every day I do use at least one or two of the set daily. 3 months in and knives are still holding an edge and I decided not to sharpen them to see exactly how long I could go before needing to sharpen them. This gives me a good idea of the quality of the steel used to make these knives 6 months in and all of the knives still have an edge but starting to dull. I sharpened the entire set and they were like new. I specifically used an inexpensive wet Stone to sharpen these knives instead of a honing tool so that way I could see if the average user would be able to sharpen easily. 7 months since I first received this set and I'm happy to say it is now on my countertop for use as my daily knife. Since then I have ordered several different Misen products and hope they all are as good as this knife set. I'll continue to update this review . Bottom line is the quality versus value of this set is unbeatable. I purchased two more sets as gifts. You can't go wrong
Review: Excellent Everyday Utility Knife with Reliable Sharpness - I have used the Misen 5.5 inch Utility Knife for several years, and it has remained one of my most reliable kitchen tools. The size is perfect for daily prep work since it sits comfortably between a small paring knife and a full chef’s knife. I reach for it more than any other knife because it is small enough for precise control and still large enough to handle most cutting tasks. The blade arrived very sharp and has stayed sharp over time. It cuts smoothly through all types of vegetables and meats with very little effort. Even after years of use, the edge retention has held up better than I expected for the price. I have purchased several as gifts for friends and family who are getting into cooking because it offers great value and is very easy to work with. The handle is comfortable, secure, and allows for longer prep sessions without fatigue. I always hand wash the knife and it has stayed in excellent condition with no issues. The overall build quality still feels solid and dependable. Verdict: A great value, a great size, and a very reliable everyday knife. Perfect for new cooks and for anyone who wants a versatile blade that stays sharp and performs well for years.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes AUS‑10 steel different?**
A: AUS‑10 has more carbon (about 2.5×) than most high‑end steels, so the blade stays sharper for a much longer time.

**Q: Is this knife dishwasher safe?**
A: No. Like almost all high‑quality knives, it should be hand‑washed and dried immediately after use.

**Q: Does it work for left‑handed users?**
A: Yes. The knife features a 50/50 symmetric grind at 15° per side, making it comfortable for both right- and left‑handed cooks.

**Q: How often do I need to sharpen it?**
A: Thanks to the high‑carbon AUS‑10 steel and Rockwell hardness of 58, the edge stays sharp longer than many other steels. Touch it up occasionally with a honing rod; professional sharpening is only needed a few times per year, depending on usage.

**Q: What’s the sloped bolster for?**
A: It encourages the correct pinch grip and keeps your fingers away from the heel of the blade, making it both comfortable and safer to use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super sharp out of the box. Perfect weight for cutting and blade angle works great for chopping.
*by J***. on June 26, 2022*

This knife is perfect. It was extremely sharp out-of-the-box, and the perfect weight for chopping. For some, an 8 inch Chef's knife may feel unwieldy, as it was for me at one time. I used to use a 5 inch Chef's knife, but once I got used to the 8 inch, I wouldn't go back to the 5 inch for most of what I use a Chef's knife for. I use this knife more than once daily for cutting potatoes, tomatoes, and for chopping herbs like parsley. For many knives, cutting tomatoes is a problem as they tend to squish if the blade isn't sharp enough. This knife cuts through them using practically no pressure so they don't squish. You can consistently cut perfect paper thin slices of tomatoes without squishing the tomato using this knife. One of my favorite uses for this knife is to chop herbs, such as parsley. Simply put a couple fingers on the end of the knife, lift the handle so the blade is over the herbs, and let the weight of the knife do the work. Chopping onions, garlic, parsley and more takes a matter of a couple of minutes. Although I have a couple of machines for chopping, I generally don't use them since I can chop more quickly with this knife and not have to clean the container for the chopping machines. Using this knife takes less time with much less cleanup. Since this knife has the Asian blade of 15 degrees, I expect the blade will need to be sharpened more often than the Euro blade of 20 degrees. Since the blade is made from a high carbon AUS10 steel, it should hold the sharpness for longer than blades of a lesser steel. Comparing this knife to some of the high end knives I have, such as Shun, Wustoff, etc., this knife is every bit as good at a much more reasonable price. I do recommend this knife, and hope this review was helpful for you. I will definitely update this review if my opinion changes.
