They like that the handle is really gripable not slippery, and that it maintains its edge well.

America's Test Kitchen wasn't wrong. 5 stars
The handle style reminded me of my old Ladvar knife. You know the 'entry level' beginner's culinary class knife. Everyone has one from decades ago and it still holds an edge. I have 'Laddy' sharpened all the time but the handle gets slippery when I'm breaking down a fatty boston butt or brisket. This knife is a close second to my Mac knife. This is the same size, but here's where its different:The handle has semi-soft flexible grips in it. Perfect for being held left or right handed. Comes from the factory razor sharp. Used a steel on it and it immediately sang.Weighs the same as the Ladvar, but the grip is where I fell in love.Easy maneuverability and washes up beautifully under a running tap. Seriously, don't leave this in a soapy sink for your hand to find it. You may come up with a finger missing.Perfect knife for all sorts of meal prep. Took a chance on this brand and I'm impressed. Will try other sizes and see if they impress me like this one did.

5.0 out of 5 stars 8" Chef's knife- I like the tall blade and the fact that my knuckles don't hit the cutting board
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2018
Update: We've had the 8" Chef's knife for just over two years. It's still my favorite knife, by far. I use it to clean and cut peppers, peel carrots, slice raw meat- almost everything. Okay- I use a serrated knife to cut bread. The staining problem has almost completely resolved by itself (I wish I understood why). I use a steel before about every 3rd use. I just check it first. I don't like a cast heel because after some years of use and resharpening the heel will wind up below the edge of the blade (as the blade gets slightly narrower from spine-to-edge) and it won't cut all the way through because the blade won't contact the cutting board. I bought another one for a friend.

UPDATE: This blade stains easily. I have some knives I've owned for 20-30 years and they aren't stained. This one is stained after about four months (the pics show that, and I know they look like food particles, but they're stains). It's still sharp and still my go-to knife.

Wow- inexpensive knife- it's sharp, and holds an edge. This is a lightweight knife. I like the tall blade and the fact that my knuckles aren't on the cutting board when I chop all the way down, as they are with shorter blades. We own a nice forged Henckel knife. It's fine, but it doesn't hold an edge like this Mercer knife and cost at least 4 times more. I will continue to use that knife for trimming meat, because the tall blade on this isn't going to maneuver as well.

I cut a few items with it the day I got it, and it's razor sharp (probably the sharpest kitchen knife I have had). Yet, it seems to have a western edge angle (about 20 degrees), so it should hold the edge well. Seems to be fairly hard steel, to hold that edge, but not too hard, so it shouldn't chip.

One key to maintaining sharpness is to wash and immediately dry it after each use. That prevents fine rust from forming on the blade edge. Another is to avoid scraping it sideways on the cutting board to collect chopped, or diced stuff. Turn it upside-down (blade facing up) to do that. It's broad enough to lay it on its side and scoop stuff, like a santoku knife.
