It is a good Chef knife for the home. For someone who doesn't have something similar, it becomes immediately essential and greatly facilitates food preparation, both before and after cooking the dish. It offers a sense of confidence in the hand.

Pros

It was the "cheapest of the good," setting the benchmark for the quality-price ratio.

It is made by a company that certainly adheres to its standards and guarantees.

It makes you feel like a professional. Quickly and naturally, it took the place of all my other food preparation knives, even for fruits and peeling due to the comfort of use and the better result.

The plastic handle is ergonomically more quality than it appears. Its texture resembles more of a non-slip ceramic than matte plastic – the photos do not do it justice. Probably as a budget product, they left the advertising to the name and the users and did not take care to get better photos to promote it.

Cons

Although it is a tremendous upgrade from conventional knives or lower quality ones (e.g., from IKEA), the need for a more user-friendly knife became apparent, perhaps with notches on the sides to prevent slices from sticking and rolling out of the preparation area, creating a mess. Or for specialized knives for 2-3 different uses.

Its size makes smaller cuts and different cutting or peeling techniques difficult. Often, a sharp edge or corner is left to "tell" you that you are lucky you didn't cut yourself on this.

It requires responsibility and selective attention. Conditions will not always be ideal. People may enter the kitchen for... a glass of water. When I do complex preparation, I inform everyone to stay away and ensure they comply. The extra attention affects the flow of cooking, at least for me.

Conclusion

It may not be a knife suitable for beginners, as it is a bit more specialized in design. However, it is a nice, comfortable, and quality tool that has served me well, and I have learned to use it without accidents. Of course, before anyone uses it, they must learn the cutting angles and how to gather their fingers on the supporting hand of the food and the blade. Basic rules are available on wiki-how or even short videos on YouTube for these. It doesn't require stress, but it demands responsibility, and finally, the completion of knowledge comes with practice.

Additionally

The suggestions for parallel purchases below the purchase are not random. It needs sharpening more often than I thought – with daily use, at least once a week. I preferred the Victorinox sharpener for its ease of switching between levels 1 and 2 with a switch and its style.
