My Evolution (8") Chef knife is the sharpest knife I  have in my collection now. But what I  like the most about this knife is it's balance and how lightweight it is. After a lot of chopping my arm usually is fatigued with my heavier knives. But not when I'm using this one. A professional chef knife with a modern design and grooved blade. An added note: the packaging box that it comes in is ideal for giving as a gift. Comes with a plastic sheath for storing, and has a lifetime warranty.
